^and it made me mad it was such a tease lol because i loved the instrumentals/alangements!
also i accidently bumped into lastfm page of simmilar artists to KOKIA and i found a couple that are quite good o is terms of style, but again vocals failed on me lol however i'm leaving the names here: Nagi Yanagi, Hitomi Kuroishi.
Also this Yuki Kajiura is pretty good, and the vocals aren't annoying for my ears even tho as far as i understood she rarelly does the vocals usually has a vocalist to do the singing - "canta per me" ; "everytime you kissed me" ; "fake wings" ; "I talk to te rain" .. there are a lot of instrumentals tho and i gotta say they are pretty gorgeous. Just go through this playlist instead and listen, it's really good!
