FFXII Theme - Kiss Me Good-Bye by Angela Aki

Square Enix's Final Fantasy series has been one of my favorite CG animations of all time! I used to be addicted with Cloud of FFVII and I remembered how had I been always late for school! Putting up an all-nighter isn't that healthy I know... *sigh* I had to learn the exasperating Maya and Zbrush to the extreme just to learn how to do CG myself! Now, I'm still no good at it. <(

Then comes Final Fantasy 12. Ashe!! :3 I haven't played it yet but I've seen a couple of interactive episodes (don't know what it's called) and I can't believe how the animation has improved!

The promotional video from before was so beautiful I'm close to tears! Half-Italian and Japanese singer/songwriter Angela Aki performed the theme for the RPG. She has a fair voice equipped with her laudable piano skills... though I think the piece nor the vocals aren't too hard. It'll be a cinch for Ryvius I know! XD

Ryvius' Rating:
8/10 Wow, what a beautiful song! Thank you so much Fairchild for making me discover it. I don't know much about video games and video game music, though I heard that the FF series had beautiful music... Angela has an amazing voice. Such a mature and powerful voice! It's refreshing to listen to a singer like that, after all the weak singers I've been listening to lately... She's also a very good piano player! It's nice to see some great talent once in a while! The song is a beautiful piano ballad exactly like I like them!

Romaji

Anata wa mayotte, ite mo
Doa wa aiteru yo
Futari no sekai dake de wa
Mitasarenain deshou?

Hane wo ageru kara
Shinjite tobe-pa ii

Kiss me good-bye, love is memory
Anata wo ushinattemo

Kiss me good-bye, sayonara
Atarashii watashi ni kawaru

Kiss me good-bye
Kiss me good-bye

Kiss me good-bye, love is memory
Atarashii futari ni kawaru nara

Kiss me good-bye, nakanai
Anata wo aiseta kara

Anata wo aiseta kara

English

You say my love is all you need, to see you through
But I know these words are not quite true

Here is the path you're looking for, an open door
Leading to worlds you long to explore

Go, if you must move on alone
I'm gonna make it on my own

Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
Follow your heart and find your destiny
Won't she'd a tear, for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality

As time goes by I know you'll see this of me:
I loved you enough to let you go free

Go, I will give you wings to fly
Cast all your fears into the sky

Kiss me good-bye, love's mystery
All of my life I'll hold you close to me

Won't she'd a tear for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality

Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
You put the dream in my reality
