Japanese band Do As Infinity has once again graced the stage of THE FIRST TAKE, this time delivering a fresh, single-take rendition of "Fukai Mori." Released in 2001, this track is one of the iconic ending themes from the anime "Inuyasha" and has been a soundtrack to the growth of countless anime fans. 
"Fukai Mori" has been out for 25 years now, and its popularity isn't just limited to Japan; it's beloved by global audiences thanks to "Inuyasha" airing overseas. This particular performance features a special re-arranged version exclusive to THE FIRST TAKE, with acoustic guitar and piano intertwining to create a more delicate and warm sound. This fresh take brings a mature quality to the song's inherent sadness and power, offering a different vibe from the original. 
Do As Infinity recently made their debut on THE FIRST TAKE with "Hi no Ataru Sakamichi." That video blew past 1 million views in about a day and has since racked up over 3 million plays. Back then, a flood of fans in the comments and on social media were clamoring for "Fukai Mori" as their next performance, and now their wish has officially come true!
For countless "Inuyasha" fans, "Fukai Mori" is more than just an anime ending theme; it's woven into the very fabric of the series' memory. Now, 25 years later, with Do As Infinity performing it live once more, this iconic track makes a grand return to audiences with a fresh new vibe.
