I've been watching it all the time since I discovered it. I wish I knew where it was from? It's not a concert obviously, but has she ever done a studio live or something? I want the mp3 badly..

Never seen it, thanks! Very beautiful

@Hachimitsu; that vid is one of my favourites from Kokia ^___^
I love the part when she starts dancing ^^ And when she spreads her arms on "kaze ni narou ka?"
I'm glad you found it to your liking ^^
I just discovered the original version on the Pearl Collection album, but I have to say, however fitting and beautiful the instrumentals are, I like this a capella version much better!
Awww I loved it when she sang it on the concert in Paris and people were singing along! (so was I squeeeeee XD )
She was so cute! <3

I'm curious about those new albums, the covers are for sure gorguous (that haunting look she gives us on AKKIKO- - KOKIA ~balance~ cover o_O ) and after The Voice, there's nothing that Kokia can do wrong for me ^_______^ (even though her Engrish was sometimes pretty funny on the x-mas gift album XD my familiy asked who she was because they found her english was a little weird at times XD )

[Yoake]

The VOICE ? Her wrong album? It's the most beautiful an amazing album that she made!
Akiko kokia & kokia akiko are not as beautiful as her The Voice for me!

[Rogue]

ehh, I said, there's is nothing that she can do wrong for me anymore, because I liked The Voice album that much XD lawl XD (I mean, everything she does is fine with me now XD )

[Yoake]

ah ok. I think the illness wear down my neurones XD

sorry^^"

[aqua_crystal]

Thanks for the tracklist of KARMA, Yoake!!! I wanna hear both songs! They sound so haunting~

Oh woah, Dandelion!! It sounds cool! Thanks!

[Rogue]

Does anyone know where I could find the lyrics for both the ~balance~ albums?

Until now, Wasure Mono is surely one of my favourites o_O SO beautiful ;___;
Youka~Rebirth is also stunning! It's not disturbing at all, that the most songs are ballade-ish. At least they show diversity and are well-produced. They also have different intrumentals than in the previous albums ^____^
I LOVE them! *listens more to both albums*

[Hachimitsu]

It's a shame I haven't discovered Kokia until now, because I live in Europe too, and she performed there a few times, right? Does anyone know in which countries she has performed so far?

[aqua_crystal]

^France and Japan. Has she performed in the US yet?

[Rogue]

Belgium too! A very small performance though, and it was sold out months beforehand XD

On another note, the song sounds AWESOME! I really like it o_o

[Rogue]

Y'oure talking about the KARMA song now?
Seems like they are not only going to use it for a game ^^ Good thing!
And sorry, I should have posted it like that ^^; (bandwith things on this forum ^^; )


Heys, does anyone know what song KOKIA usually closes her concerts with? In Paris, previous time, she used I Believe, which I thought was a very fitting choice ^^
Gemetria is soo beautiful too on the KOKIA - AKIKO ~balance~ album btw ^^
They sound different, the albums. The Kokia one has some stronger songs, while the Akiko one seems to be a reminiscing album, about her youth.
KOKIA - AKIKO ~balance~ sounds like the album Kokia wants to put her voice at the first place, while in AKIKO - KOKIA ~balance~ she's quieter and sometimes leves the melody alone for a LOOOONG time (there is a song in which she only starts singing from 2:24 XD )

Yup, you are correct, it's the "Phantom-Requiem for the Phantom" OP theme (anime).

Whenever KOKIA has a song for an anime or game, her covers are one the characters rather than having stickers.

[rookies]

^ Really? I didn't know that. I wonder if she has had many anime/game tie-ins then?
