I left the file names with the kanji song titles but re-tagged it so that the song titles are in english translations from This site. (http://www.nausicaa.net/wiki/From_Kokuriko_Hill_(Song_Collection)) Thanks to the original uploader.
Thank you very much. 🙂

Thank you for uploading
I stand by my original assertion that she has one of the most gorgeous voices I’ve ever heard… But she really, really should NOT sing in English (or any language other than Japanese, for that matter…)
Some of the tracks here have the most horrendous pronunciation – Edelweiss is rendered as "Air-Del-Wise" – which, as any vaguely internationally-inclined individual will know, comes about by blind use of phonetic pronunciation – and that it’s also about as far as you can mutilate the original German word without making it completely unintelligible…
Not to mention, "Ebbery mornin you greet me, small and white, clean and vright…"
Oy…!
Edelweiss, in particular, is a sumptuously beautiful song; behind the sublime lyrics and heartbreaking, deceptively simple melody, lies a commentary on patriotism, love, family, and the power of memory. It really, really shouldn’t be covered by somebody who doesn’t even understand what it means to the extent that she can’t even sing the lyrics coherently.
It’s as if somebody said to her, "Sing these words – they’re pronounced like this, we think – use that nice breathy vocal style everybody loves, and it’ll be fine." and then off she went into the studio.
(I’ll leave aside the obvious irony of that particular song being sung by a Japanese person…!)
EDIT: I added new links for the last 2 🙂 Enjoy!
About the free user slots, perhaps that may be the case, but at times I get a message saying that there are no slots but other times I actually get a proper countdown going and a download link actually appears, but then an error message would pop up without fail, saying there was an error but never telling what the error is. I believe perhaps rapidshare simply doesn’t support free downloads, since its ridiculous how many times I tried and on two different computers, mac and pc. But that doesn’t matter now, I can’t express fully how thankful I am to you for sharing! I checked out the Angela Aki page you have as well, I only heard Angela before in the Blood+ anime series when I got the single for the ending credits by her, will definitely try to listen to more of her music. By the way, have you heard Emi Fujita or Olivia Ong? I believe you will love both their voices =)
I have heard a little Emi Fujita but just found a terrible quality audio version of Olivia Ong on youtube and even still I get the chills from her wonderful voice! Thankfully one of my favorite trackers seems to have a few of her albums 😀
Perhaps I’ll even create a thread with all of them once I get them.
You are very welcome for the music and should check out the Kokia thread as well 🙂 Best!
EDIT: You’re just lucky you needed a re-up for one of my favorite artists! I always want to keep those thread alive to share the love!
Hold on a bit, I’ll round up the albums now and hopefully more people will get to know abit more about her too. Emi’s another awesome singer, I have three of her albums, and there’s also Kelly Sweet who has that clear, clean voice too.
Should you be interested in singers with a bit more unique voices, I’ll recommend Zee Avi and Joanna Wang. I have their albums and have no problems sending them over to you, I’ll post links up but I don’t think I should filter them into your Aoi Teshima thread. =/

Well I found Precious Stones, Touch in the Sky, Kiss in the Air, A Girl Meets Bossanova (1 and 2), Fall in Love with Olivia, and Tamarillo. Assuming I didn’t miss any there, I only need Precious Stones, because the one I found is in 128kbps.
As for Emi Fujita, I just have Camomile Best Audio and its only in 128kbps so anything you have would be welcome 🙂
I suggest you make a new thread for either one so they get extra attention.
Oh man if you like her earthsea stuff you will LOVE the rest of it. I agree she has such an awesome voice that even without any accompaniment shes fantastic.
same here. just listened to the song "the rose" and its beautiful! 🙂
Thanks.
These are the only 2 I have in lossless to post so enjoy the MP3 of everything else.
Though her English may not be perfect, as it is not her primary language, I disagree with one point that Tangotreats made regarding that she has no clue what she is singing. Just because one cannot pronounce the words doesn’t mean that one doesn’t understand the meaning. Japanese is a language that each word ends in a vowel sound, as well as not being able to distinguish between l and r sound. Thus, it is very difficult for somebody who did not grow up learning English to be able to accurately pronounce English words.
Aoi Teshima was picked for the part of Therru through her audition tape of "The Rose," which is obviously a song she loves and practiced a lot. If it is a song she likes so much, she most likely has studied the lyrics and probably knows its meaning. I know I do that for Japanese songs. While I agree that Aoi Teshima has much room for improvement in the English language, I think the idea is, let her practice and grow more because she has a heavenly voice and is still young and has much more time ahead of her.
Recently, a new single called Kono michi got on the japanese iTunes. I can’t buy it even if i wished to lol. If someone finds it… thanks.
Please check out the latest single with Yoko Kanno, "Because." It’s short but absolutely beautiful; coming from a Yoko Kanno and Aoi Teshima fan, I couldn’t have asked for a better collaboration.

This album has her new song! It’s so nice and calming, but I don’t know who has it.
It’s the second and tenth song in this album "2 卒業写真 / 手嶌葵 (Sotsugyoushashin / Teshima Aoi) 10 やさしさに包まれたなら / 手嶌葵"
If you wanna hear it click here (http://www.hmv.co.jp/artist_f-e-n_000000000478488/item_%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC%E3%82%AB%E3%83%95%E3%82%A7 %E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB-%E2%99%AF1%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AA%E3% 83%BC_4989825)
Scroll down and click the song!
If anyone has this song, please share it here! I wanna buy it but it’s not on iTunes and I just want that one.
EDIT: I found the album you are looking for on CDJapan but it isn’t on any of my usual sites for Japanese music. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=LNCM-1001
I still can’t find this songs on iTunes. If it was there, I would’ve bought it.
ENJOY!
Hi Sirusjr, would you re-up the links again? I just discovered Aoi’s music and I absolutely love her. Her albums are so hard to find so I would really appreciate if you can help me. Thanks soooo much!!!
This is the nice thread!
but,
I download nothing from this place…
As for the husky voice of Teshima Aoi, I am a favorite, too.
In addition, her singing voice resembles Taeko Onuki closely very much.
