Biography

Angela Aki (アンジェラ・アキ, Anjera Aki), born on 15 September 1977 in Itano, Tokushima Prefecture, Shikoku, Japan to a Japanese father and an Italian-American mother, is a Japanese singer-songwriter. Angela Aki was born as 安芸聖世美 (Kiyomi Aki).

Angela Aki is completely bilingual in English and Japanese as she was raised in Japan but moved to Hawaii at the age of fifteen where she graduated from Iolani School. From there, she moved on to George Washington University where she graduated with majors in politics and music.

She originally released an indie album in the United States in 2000, called These Words, which received much critical acclaim. In 2002, she composed two tracks for Let It Fall by Dianne Eclar, a teenage pop singer from the Philippines. In 2005, in Japan, she released an indie mini-album under Virgo Music entitled ONE, which alerted 植松伸夫 (Nobuo Uematsu) to her music. Angela Aki is now signed under Sony Music Associated Records Inc. . In 2005 she was announced as the singer of the FINAL FANTASY XII theme song, “Kiss Me Good-Bye”.

On March 9, 2007, she revealed in her official blog that she is married to a music director who has been supporting her before her debut. She also revealed that while she was in Washington D.C., she had married once before but the marriage ended in a divorce.

She is good friends with JPOP star 伊藤由奈. Both singers attended the same Japanese language school.

    fiftyfourcake: yes, they've merged the pages. I wrote to their forum and an hour later, the pages were merged. tho, the name displayed here shouldn't appear like this.. it should be Angela Aki, but seem to be unable to read my several complaints about that :/

    BLUE is Angela's best album since ANSWER easily and one of her best period. Probably second only to HOME. [2]

    'Kokuhaku' is a very nice track!

    Am I the only Angie fan that doesn't like "ANSWER"? I mean, it's a good album, but definitely isn't one of my favorites. "TODAY", for me, is her best.

    did they start to merge the two pages? i've never used the アンジェラ・アキ tag, but my charts are redirecting here now.

    i think she was strongest with answer. life and white are under-appreciated, and blue is generally good. except one family is just as meh as it was on white, and the adele-ingrid-zootsuit triple-header in the middle of the album is exactly that...

    I think WHITE is her best album. BLUE is the second. I like the others, just like... HOME is a bit better than LIFE
