I really missed the boat on this one. I was turned on to KOKIA through her work on our 2011 soundtrack of the year, Final Fantasy XIII-2. She was responsible for singing “Noel’s Theme,” and when I saw that she had recently put out a collection of music featuring her work from other games and anime titles, I wanted to check it out.
As it turns out, KOKIA has been around for awhile, singing on one of my favorite arrangement albums, Genso Suikoden II ~Orrizonte~, Demon’s Souls, and other titles over the years that I already knew and loved. Are her various contributions collected here as impressive?
