In the extras section of Katawa Shoujo act 1, you can see a singing chibi-Lilly. Personally, I believe that this is a sign that sometime in the future of the game, we will discover Lilly is a good singer. Yeah, it might be represent the Jukebox file like how Rin with paintbrush and an artist hat represents the gallery and Shizune reading a book represents library, but still...
Anyway, what kind of song would you like to hear Lilly sing? Personally, I would like to hear Lilly sing Creeping in my Soul by Cryoshell (

But in all seriousness, even disregarding the fact that KS will not have voice acting (ever), I would have to say Lunar Rings.
Fair warning - don't quote my picture.

Two things: no VAs, and no money for royalties.

In before the inevitable crack about a VA for Shizune.

Personally, I hope she does sing somewhere in her path (in a text-based "♪ La la la~ ♪" manner), or at least do something musical. It makes a lot of sense for her character, even without the whole blindness part. I know she used to play the cello, but I heard that got cut for some reason.

The cello bit got cut 'cause it was cliche. It's probably best to limit her musical talents to singing, though that's just my opinion and not necessarily what the devs are planning.

And a blind musician isn't? (or was it the cello = classy being cliche?)
It would be cool to hear Lilly sing, but it would be out of place to have only one song in there, unless it was a "main theme." Doubt that'll happen.
However, I'd love to hear some fan-made character songs someday. Kenji's could be amazing. Could also see some humor in a Misha switching back and forth between her own way of speaking and Shizune's as she attempts to balance singing two roles while "sight-reading" the lyrics to half of it.

I've seen forums were amateur VAs roam and people ask them if they could lend their voices to their projects. They could ask someone to hum or sing something the devs wrote. Not a whole song but a couple of verses. I'd go for something hummed, because then one could get away with "it ain't a song, so stop fu**in' asking for voices already!!"
But yeah, I have no clue as to how hard would it be to select someone for that, so I don't think really serious on this.

Remember the synth voice from the opera scene in Final Fantasy VI? Lilly needs to sound like that. Come to think of it, she does look a lot like Celes...

Didn't Raita intend her to be a cliched character, anyways? Not that I like her being cliched, but it's worth a thought.
