"Mahou no Kotoba (Would You Marry Me?)" is the fifteenth single by Do As Infinity, released in 2003. Two versions of the single were released, a limited CD+DVD edition and a normal CD edition, each version with a different cover. It was used as the theme song for the 2003 Japanese drama Chocolat. Due to the extremely high popularity and marriage based theme of the A-side track "Mahou no Kotoba (Would You Marry Me?)", the song became one of the most requested wedding songs in Japan.

Do As Infinity Japanese band

Do As Infinity is a Japanese pop and rock band that formed in 1999 with three members: vocalist Tomiko Van, guitarist Ryo Owatari, and guitarist and composer Dai Nagao. The band's name is sometimes abbreviated as DAI, alluding to the fact that Do As Infinity was named after Nagao. Signed to Avex Trax, the band released their debut single "Tangerine Dream" on September 29, 1999, followed by three more singles between 1999 and 2000, which appeared on their debut album Break of Dawn (2000). In December 2000, Nagao decided to devote all his time to composing the music and no longer appeared at live events. Five more studio albums were released between 2001 with New World and 2005 with Need Your Love.
