There's an interview with her up on JaME:
>>click me<<

I thought it was interesting how she said she was a "bubbly" person and would like to write happy songs but 80% of her songs are sad, because I've been finding a similar thing recently when trying to write lyrics. 😌 (They come out all bitter and cynical and angsty-sounding when I think I'm quite a happy person, really! :mad: )
 
I only know two songs of hers, "Kiss me good-bye" and "This love", and I like both.
Thank you Ayu-youkou for sharing the song, it's beautiful.

Oh, I forgot to mention, Kinsao, yes, you're a positive, happy person, indeed! I like your way of thinking, really. ^_^
 
I heard "Kiss me godd-bye" which she sang for Final fantasy 12 and I like it very much. She has a nice voice. I like it. ^^
 
She's one of those people whose amazing voices go unheard of for a long time, and then just pop out of nowhere singing songs for a big production. I think she has a great voice, and I love her song "Music". I grew sick of "Kiss Me Good-bye" after listening to it a few times. >.<
 
Yes, I LOVE Angela Aki. Her voice and compositions are truly top notch. I'm not usually so easily impressed with artist, but she's different. I've heard all her songs and she really knows how to take her voice and her piano skills and make quality. I think she's one artist people really need to look out for.

This Love, is my fav. song by her.
 

Dear myself in the future,
Who's reading this letter
Where are you and what are you doing now?
For me who's 15 years old
There are seeds of worries I can't tell anyone
If it's a letter addressed to my future self,
Surely I can confide truely to myself
Now, it seems that I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
This one-and-only heart has been broken so many times
In the midst of this pain, I live the present
Dear myself in the future,
Thank you
I have something to tell the 15-yeers-old myself
If you continue asking what and where you should be going
You'll be able to see the answer
The rough seas of youth may be tough
But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow
Now, please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
For me as an adult, there are sleepless nights when I'm hurt
But I'm living the bitter but also sweet present
There's meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing
Seems like I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
Please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
No matter era we're in
There's no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present
Dear myself in the future,
Who's reading this letter
I wish you happiness

It is also the image song for Japan's 75th nationwide school singing contest which is co-hosted by NHK.

first time i knew Angela Aki is
when i was playing Final Fantasy 12.
n heard she sang "kiss me good-bye"
since that time i became her fan!!
 
I loved her live performances, never fails to impress me. Full of passion. Watched her live performance on Eyes On Me and started following her songs. My favorite song from her is Home. The live version was exceptionally good and emotional. It's still in youtube I think.
