[7] Aki Kiyomi - better known as Angela Aki

I ♥ Angela Aki with a passion. Her music is so beautiful and that woman can play the piano like no one's business. She's probably best known by people in the States for her ending song Kiss Me Goodbye in FFXII and her cover of Eyes on Me from FFVIII, but her song Tegami ~ Haikei Juugo no Kimi e became really popular for students going on to enter high school

I fell in love with her 2006 album Home. Songs like Kokoro no Senshi, This Love, Rain, Onegai, Home, and Your Love Song wormed their way into my heart. Her next full albums Today and Answer only secured her spot in my favorite musicians list. She sings wonderfully in both English and Japanese and has even remade some popular songs like Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Creep, Kiss from A Rose, and Without You.

If you like a beautiful voice with a soulful piano then give her a listen.

Your Love Song - one of my all-time favorites. It's in English and the things she can't or won't say, you can feel in her piano at the end.
