So I downloaded the arranged soundtrack to KOF '97 this morning and I found this song called "Storm Allegory." Basically, it's a song featuring Kunihiko Yasui (Iori Yagami's voice actor) on vocals while in character. The song is very somber for the most part, and the lyrics are mostly in Japanese except for a few English words "Don't break my soul woah woah tonight," but it's a great song none the less. If anyone can find the lyrics to the song and a translation please PM me with it and I'll post it in this description.
Kunihiko reminds me of the lead vocalist for Moonspell. If for some reason he leaves the band, they should call this guy up. He just needs to learn Portuguese.
Lyrics provided by Userguape:
Japanese:
Kurai roji ura miageta yozora ni
Hoshi ga hitotsubu koborete iru
Tozashita kankaku o sora e hanatsu
Mukashi no hikari de terashite kure
Kono mama hitori kieru mo ii
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight
Kawaita kaze to surechigau
Sabita puraido korogaru rakugaki
Yaseta mikazuki yoru ni ukabu
Toraeta eien wa sono ba kagiri
Yoake ga tooku de kowarete yuku
Dokokade hitori nageku mo ii
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight
Tsumetai kumo ga nagareteku
Kono mama hitori kieru mo ii
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight
Kaze ga otoshita aregorii
English:
Looking up at the night sky from a dark alleyway
A star breaks off from the rest
It gave out a cry of regret to the sky
and shines a light from long ago
It's fine if I disappear alone like this
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight
The dry wind passes through me
My rusted pride rolls in graffiti
The slim cresent moon rises in the night
Trying to eternally stay that way
Until it's destroyed by the distant dawn
Wherever I'm thrown alone is fine
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight
The cold cloud flows through me
It's fine if I disappear alone like this
Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight
The year before last allegory of the wind
dammit i want this song so bad

So THAT'S who sang this song! Kunihiko Yasui!
I was wondering who was singing on this one. I thought that it was Chang's song, since Choi had a song of his own (Choi Bounge Ondo)and I figured that they got one each, but the voice sounded too good for him.
Thank you for this upload, this one was killing me.
