Half Japanese and half Italian American, Angela Aki (Kiyomi Aki) is another prominent mixed race celeb in Japan.

Every year in Japan they have the Kouhaku Utagassen (Red White Song Battle).  Its a show that to most Japanese signifies the end of the year, and it reviews all the top songs and oldies, and most of the nation is watching.  This past year I listened to Angela Aki's new song : Letter To Your 15 Year Old Self

The lyrics are particularly meaningful as she sings about a letter she is writing to her 15 year old self, encouraging her past self to stay positive.
