Hey you guys, I hope some of you know Miwkao Okuda, if not do give her a try because she's an
awesome singer. She sings with a lot of emotion that you can really feel and sometimes it can give
you chills. My words do not do justice though, go have a listen lol
Miwako Okuda mainly sings ballads and rock songs. You might've first heard her from GTO,
she sings the song 'Shizuku',but for me I found out about her through a LJ music rotation site a couple
of years ago. My first song that really got me addicted to her music was 'Aozora no hate'. It's still a
song I can go back to.
I have tons of favourite songs by her, so I have lots to recommend if you're interested! =)
There's not much info on her, but if I find anything else about her, I'll update this page, and if you know
something I don't, I'd be glad to add it in the first post =) Video links are underlined, so click them and
check them out!

Personally I think both albums are awesome. All songs are great, it's just the ones with asterisks
that are my absolute favourites =)
I would say the second album is a big contrast to the first. The first album is much more dark and emotional, which is evident in 'aozora no hate',
utau riyuu, ame to yume no ato ni, etc., where as the second has more calmer and some
upbeat songs too such as 'tsuki ga suki', 'born', 'I love you' and 'Soraoi'.
