The Utahime of Utahimes
I'm thankful for playing Ar Tonelico, since it introduced to to Shikata and her music, which I truly enjoy listening to. She's a composer and singer-songwriter and can sing in Italian, Hymmnos and Japanese
EXEC_CHRONICLE_KEY/. an insert song that was used during Ar Tonelico. THE song that made me an instant fan of Shikata. I lost track of how many times I played through a certain part of the game just to hear this song. I consider it the best song for the first Ar Tonelico game. 5 years on the road, I still can't stop listening to it every now and then
Katayoku no Tori used for the OP for Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Hmmm, the usual Akiko style with grand powerful vocal and chorus (all sung by Shikata) and a little Italian thrown in. Personally I find this better than Umineko no Naku Koro ni (the song and game title are the same)
Luna Piena, from her second album Raka. I swear everytime I listen to this, I feel like crying. So touching, beautiful
METHOD_IMPLANTA/. an insert song used for Ar Tonelico 2. The lyrics is just touching, didn't know there was so much meaning behind it. Let's see Composer Shikata, Singer/Chorus: Shikata, Lyrics: Mitose Noriko/ Shikata... LOL she pretty much made the whole song. It's something writing in Hymmnos, but Pastalia Hymmnos is even harder to write, because it doesn't look like normal words such as hYArAnAt (words in caps and words in small letters have different meanings, basically it's much harder to translate) My favorite Shikata song from 2
EXEC_over.METHOD_SUBLIMATION/. ～omness chs ciel sos infel
The final boss song for Ar Tonelico 2. This song is just unbelievable... Words fail to express how emotional this piece is
By now, if you're reading this and have expressed some interest in listening to her music, please support her by buying her cds. In fact, BUY HER CDS!! She deserves it
