First saw this on youtube back in mid 2000s i think with the japanese MTV with her playing in the background. Was already a fan of FF and I really waited for this game to be released on the PS2. Finished the game and enjoyed the ending FMV while this plays in the background (in English of course) She is a great artist. Song is full of emotion though tragic in my sense but i still love it.
あなたは迷っていても ドアは開いてるよ 二人の世界だけでは 満たされないのでしょう? 羽をあげるから信じて飛べばいい Kiss Me Good-Bye,love’s memory あなたを失っても 愛した記憶が強さに変わるから 確かな物を探して 誰もが恋するが 揺るがない愛は自分の中にある Kiss Me Good-Bye さようなら 新しい私に変わる Kiss Me Good-Bye,love’s memory 新しい二人に変わるなら Kiss Me Good-Bye 泣かない あなたを愛せたから あなたを愛せたから
She's a very talented singer. I saw her live in Tokyo a few months ago. She happens to be quite a comedian (reminds me of Bette Midler). She chats along with the audience, rocks with them (yep, she rocks), but in the end, she mesmerizes everyone with her ballads. One heck of a talent.
We look forward to seeing what the future holds for Angela, who has the wonderful musical mentor, Janis Ian!ジャニス・イアンさんという素晴らしい音楽の師を持たれたアンジェラさんの今後の活躍に期待しています!
Nobuo really has a great way with melody, and Angela has the perfect voice and sensitive piano skills to tease out those inflections and dynamics. He should write more songs for her, or maybe they should team up!

I used to have this performance favourited, but that video got deleted for some reason. Thanks for uploading it so I can favourite it (and rewatch it) again! :D
Well it's the same thing for many Japanese artists isn't it? I went to a Dir en Grey (a popular Jrock band) concert in San Francisco, CA and there were only like 200 people? They have thousands at each Japanese concert. It made me realize the reason more Japanese artists don't come over to America. But back to Angeal Aki, didn't she fail to make it in the American market before going over to Japan? She has a beautiful voice, but she's more marketable in Japan for some reason. . .
Perhaps at her discretion, or more likely, her management/her team/her contractual agreements. Though it be a sad kiss goodbye, it be not the aching embrace of farewell.
