The Voice (stylised as The VOICE) is Kokia's sixth studio album, released in February 2008.[2] It is the first of four album releases in 2008 celebrating her 10th anniversary as a singer.

Three songs from the album feature on Kokia's 2009 greatest hits collection Coquillage: The Best Collection II: "Ave Maria," "Chiisa na Uta" and "Everlasting."[3] Also featured are "Say Goodbye and Good Day," the bonus track from the French edition, along with the Fairy Dance: Kokia Meets Ireland rearrangement of "Song of Pocchong."[3]

In late 2009, "Lacrima" was chosen to be used as the ending theme song for the film Uyghur Kara Kita Shōnen.[4]
