Akiko Shikata (志方あきこ) is a Japanese composer and singer-songwriter born in Tokyo, Japan, currently signed to the HATS UNLIMITED label. She is most well known for her contributions to the Ar tonelico and Shadow Hearts video games series. She plays fantasy music inspired by medieval, celtic, renaissance and ethnic music. One of her defining characteristics as singer is her ability to sing in multiple languages, her main ones being Japanese, Italian and Hymmnos (the made-up language of Ar tonelico), though she has also sung in some other uncommon languages, such as Arabic, Turkish, Ainu and Tibetan.
She began her career in 2001 forming the doujin circle Vagrancy.

Agreed Tero. I don't see the point either,since they are also so different.Akiko would have more plays though if all the Akiko Shikata,Shikata Akiko and 志方あきこ merged .I use the kanji one myself.

Harmonia is love. Still, I wish Ms Shikata would make more non-"fantasy" songs, like La Corolle or even Hollow...

Rurutia is Rurutia and Kalafina is Kalafina... and definitively Akiko is Akiko. She's so elegant and overwhelming, and very very talented. Seriously, I don't see the need to compare them. They're all great. But Akiko is my fave <3

I don't think Rurutia sounds generic i like her too..but to write on some other artists page ''x singer is better..'' LOL

You're confusing "better" with "generic", my friend. Sounds like 90% of the J-Pop singers out there.
