I actually don't like Angela Aki's songs at all, mostly cause I can't stand her singing for some reason and I find her music really boring. But seeing this thread it reminded me that I saw her on some documentary about being a half Japanese when she was a teenager. I saw it in a class and it seemed only me and the person sitting next to me knew who she was. It was pretty hilarious, and she was also pretty cute :lol:

Her new single is amazing.  I don't think she has ever released anything that  I haven't enjoyed.

On a side note, I picked up a book yesterday at the store, and the author of the book is a good friend of Angela Aki.  Supposedly, she was the first one to read it before it ever got published.  Thought that was kinda neat.   :D

Just heared her in the last Kouhaku Uta Gassen...

I died twice when I saw her releasing a bluray concert.

Seriously, if Angela Aki can, why UFA can't ?

In a previous TokyoHive post, you can see that on the cover for the LE version, her glasses do appear to be drawn/Photoshopped on.
