I am a HUGE fan of KOKIA.
Download KOKIA~AKIKO ~balance~. Listen to the whole album.
A lot of fans feel that REAL WORLD was her best album since the Voice, and I agree to an extent. I love every song in the latter half of that album.
moment is anything special, and you will only find a couple of gems in her earlier works because she moved away from the rock/pop sound very quickly and moved into a more contemporary sound you'll hear in her music today.
If you love anime pieces, get your hands on her pieces ~Outworks Collection~. It is arguably the best compilation of any of her work from her career. Very fascinating music, and it shows that she's a very flexible artist, very comfortable with a lot of different styles of music but there's always something noticeably "KOKIA" about every song.
After you've gotten your fill of KOKIA, move on to RURUTIA... and prepare to have your mind blown all over again by an artist that hasn't changed much but has too many memorable songs to count and PLENTY of albums to enjoy.
