“1000 Words (written by Kazushige Nojima)” was composed for the game “Final Fantasy X-2” and performed by J-Pop singer Koda Kumi. After being translated to English. Squaresoft approached Jade Villalon of Sweetbox to perform them for the English release of the game. While edited versions appear in the game featuring the main protagonist Yuna performing the songs, full length versions appeared on the Special Bonus Edition of Sweetbox’s album “Adagio”. The scene in which “1000 Words” is performed depicts a flashback that takes place where a summoner resembling Yuna named Lenne and her Guardian and Lover Shuyin, resembling Tidus from “Final Fantasy X” are killed after Shuyin tries to activate an ancient weapon known as Vegnagun and Lenne persuades him to stop.
