KOKIA’s voice and the production of this song is very beautiful. The background vocals are perfect. I enjoy this song as much, if not more than “Within the Light.” I’m really lucky to have stumbled upon this gem.

This song I found on a website while looking for the FF13 OST. When I first heard it I immediately needed to know what it was. And also I thought of only one person when I heard it. This song is too beautiful for a game and will always remain special to me. I share this song with her, and her alone. Enjoy.

Hideyuki Fukasawa – Monks Stage ~Forest~
Album: Chaos Legion
Genre: Game
Year: 2003
Rating: 4/5

This song is great. I like the rhythm of the drums. What catches my attention though is monk and female background vocals. The song starts off good but the song changes its tone with those two elements. Those vocals are what grab my attention. Been listening to it on repeat lately. Enjoy.

Hayato Matsuo – Forest (Southeast Asia)
Album: Front Mission 3 Original Soundtrack
Genre: Game
Year: 1999
Rating: 4/5

I heard this song in a Resident Evil Mercenaries video. I ended up already having it on my computer but had never listened to it. Besides Front Mission 3, he also has some good tracks featured on the Final Fantasy XII soundtrack. This song reminds me of the show “Legends of The Hidden Temple” on Nickelodeon.

Sayuri Sugawara – Because You’re Here
Album: Final Fantasy XIII Original Soundtrack
Genre: Game
Year: 2009
Rating: 4/5

Oh my fucking God. This is my most awaited game of all time and could end up being my all time favorite game. So much hype. I am importing this when it comes out Dec 17th in Japan. This is the only thing I’m looking forward to in my life, nothing else matters till this comes out…

The song begins at 2:55. I love this Japanese vocal. This brings me a certain feeling every time I listen to it and rivals “Eyes On Me” from Final Fantasy VIII.

The single will be released on December 2nd, 2009.

Rating: 5/5

This song is out of this world. I’ve listened to it so much. I think it’s the best song I’ve heard in any fighting game ever. I put this on repeat from time to time. Some people think they lyrics are:

Won’t be long till I see you, babe
Won’t be long till I see you
Won’t be long till I see you, babe
And it won’t be long
