Very rarely do I care for singing with Ave Maria as I find most singers hitting ear shattering high pitches that stand out and in my own personal opinion ruin the serene beauty of this piece. Not so though with Shikata Akiko, her voice blends in and compliments this piece so well without trying to put emphasis on the lyrical addition to this classical piece. This is one of the few versions with singing that I'll not only listen to, but greatly enjoy. She's such a wonderful singer.
@224909666 She had two Japan-exclusive concerts: Harmonia and Pantalea. Sadly, only pictures were taken and no videos because of Japan's strictness in copyright stuff.
Looking back, there are no words to express how glad I am that I played Umineko and Ar Tonelico..I might have never discovered the Goddess if I hadn't.
akiko shikata plsss have a new album more like the album from harmonia or RAKA plssss have more album plssssss i only have 323 songs of you and that is still not enough
A Jew is as a Jew does. Akiki fails, as does her music, her mothers, and her writing utensils. If you want to hear real music, check out Crap Jams Volume 2.

"Goddess" is such a fitting word. The songs she singed in Ar tonelico were incredible! Play the games or search for the Hymmnos she sings.

There is absolutely NOTHING I WOULDN'T give or do in exchange for being able to somehow travel back in time and attend HATS in '07.
I am so envious of the people who did attend it..I don't think such an experience could be forgotten.
The music of the Goddess is probably the most magical and enchanting thing one can hear on this Earth.
If I believed in heaven, God or something like that, I would see her as an Angel.
