In all fairness though, KOKIA would not have the sound she has today had she not founded ancoro and went independent. And I'm so glad she did all those years ago. KOKIA has truly created one of the most beautiful discographies I've ever paid witness to.
It took me until about 2011/2012 to discover KOKIA.
But ever since then she has been a treasure.
Lyrics would open things up. It would probably let her reach out to people who don't know of this music. The instrumentation makes me think of Bjork a bit as well/
