The song was selected by the director [[ | The song was selected by the director [[Chiaki J. Konaka]], after the band Bôa signed with the Japanese record label Polystar despite Boâ being a British band with the main singer, Jasmine Rodgers being only half-Japanese and only speaking a "really little bit" of the language. It was an unusual choice as most of the opening themes are written for the show. For Jasmine, "Lain was a happy coincidence". The song became a huge hit among anime fans. As the success continued, Bôa was invited as guests to conventions. Even if the band has not made any statement about being dismantled, their last album was in 2005 and since then Jasmine Rodgers started a solo career writing a piece for a classical Indian musician. Jasmine Rodgers doesn't want to sing "Duvet" anymore specified that the song “is ours, not just mine” talking about the band. | ||
