any news about her?
been a long time since her last release...what she do right now?

omg..wads happen to her?..changing her image? lol

Maybe she's taking a break or sth... probably making more granny clothes?

^Yeah, she did stop touring at the end of January.

I am hoping she will come out with a late spring/early summer single. Sometime around May or so. We will have to see. I would love to see a double Aside single from her.

You know she'll bring out some great song soon. Quality over quantity! =]

1 extremely under-rated artiste . It's just unfortunate she's not getting enough recongisition as she should be getting by right .

i really can't wait for her new release...
c'mon angela, give us new stuff...

I agree with you, but at least it's a good thing that she got #1 for TODAY (:

Beautiful scans of the TODAY album! :O

Maybe marriage is keeping her away from the studio? Although I like traditions and patterns, I'm hoping her next album cover will look different from her first two. I don't even know what she looks like without glasses, a white shirt, and jeans.

Aww, Angie. Can't wait for her new single.

Looks good. That's about 8 years ago...when she was 19? I guess? Anyway...

Angela Aki...she's one of those artists who could care less about sales is what I see. Though...she definitely needs to make better songs, because some of the songs on TODAY were so filler.

I think if she took the time to write some music with inspiration and etc. (Plus this marriage thing) we'll have another amazing HOME album...'cause that was one amazing album.

Angela's going on tour within the next few months :

^ Glad she's doing something!

I was hoping for a new single, but a tour's good too, at least it's proof she's still alive.

I have a feeling she'll introduce a new song during the tour; I think she did that before.

after so longggg....it feels like a year

So.

New songs called ONE and Tegami kinda were "released" months ago. Did anyone here know about them? People think that it'll be a single with 2As, Tegami / ONE or something like that. Anyways, I have videos!

Here's a video of ONE from the final concert of MY KEYS 2007:

And here's a fantastic video of Tegami sung by a Japanese choir. They're really good and the song is catchy as hell!

Quoting myself from another forum with lyrics for ONE and romaji of Tegami. Sing along with Tegami! OMG.

So.. bored, and I love ONE and Tegami so far.

chrono_cross@Angie LJ comm made a translation for ONE, and I don't think it was ever posted here..

Quote:

ONE
No one noticed my existence
In the swarm of stars of the night sky travellers
That love song playing on the radio right now
Is ringing with coldness, as if it happened to others
In the crowd, I suddenly became one

Unable to meet expectations, I chewed my lip
Eyes glittering with sorrowful tears of regret
I moved forward using that glitter as my guide
Carving into my heart, that chances don't just occur once
Here, unease and courage becomes one

I may be a nameless hero now
But I won't stop fighting
The seeds of suffering are too, seeds of flowers
With time, they'll become flowers of stregth
Surely, one by one

We were once two people who could understand each other without words
Did we overindulge in that sort of kindness?
I wanted to start walking on my own
And hence tried to choose a life without you
But you and me were one, always

It may be a nameless story now
But I'll write the scenerio with these hands
Everytime I turn a page full of mistakes
I'll become stronger
Surely, one by one

One by one, I'll illuminate that light you carry in your heart
For that radiant spark will guide me

I may be a nameless hero now
It may be a nameless story now
But I'll write the scenerio with these hands
Everytime I turn a page full of mistakes
I'll become stronger
Surely, one by one

Hopefully it was okay to post this here, the lyrics are definitely VERY well written, at least.. to me they are.

And now, to do Tegami romaji by ear.. D: Because I really want to listen to it. [Now fixed by Martzb@JPM]

Thanks for posting those. Both songs sound great.

I wonder where the person that posted this on youtube got the concert from. I would love to see the whole thing.
