Angela Aki

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

I never really come around these forums, but I thought this was too good to pass up.

Angela Aki is a Japanese/English singer who found her passion for singing and music when at a concert somewhere in America.

After that, she started writing her own songs and only using her piano to play with her.

Since 2000, she's been producing music - written more than a 100 songs - and doing extremely well towards the Japanese and American public.

But her songs, when you know the meaning or translation if you can't understand Japanese, are beautiful and moving.

Honestly, she's better than Utada Hikaru in my opinion, who I'm sure a lot of you know of.
