Yup, it's Rikki alright.
Quotes Uematsu, "I didn't want to vocalize Aerith's theme since it would be hard, but people seemed to like it since it came out. I guess it left a strong impression. ... This [new arranged version] may sound Irish... Yes I like Irish music.. but I also I thought that Rikki's voice may go well with Irish instruments." -H.Moriarty
