It has been reported that singer Origa passed away on Saturday. She was 44 years old and died of lung cancer.

She had been performing primarily in Japan since the 90s and is well known among anime-lovers for contributing vocals to the Ghost in the Shell series. Final Fantasy fans know her as providing vocals for many tracks in FFXIII-2, including the New Bodhum theme.

Our thoughts are with her friends and family at this time and our memories are with the beautiful tracks she contributed to the Final Fantasy series and other media.

I never liked to admit it but I really liked the New Bodhum music. A real shame to hear it, so young too.

[Aulayna]

I actually feel like XIII-2 has one of the most underrated soundtracks of the franchise.

Also, such sad news. And only 44 too!

[Shauna]

I read about this earlier. It is a terrible shame. I certainly have opinions on the FF13-2 OST, but the a lot of the actual music is gorgeous.

[Jessweeee♪]

I think I'm gonna play FFXIII-2 again, it had such a great sound track.

[Madame Adequate]

I'm not far into XIII-2 but what I've heard so far I like a lot, and the New Bodhum theme is really nice, it reminds me of Besaid.
