Haha, I came by chance on this performance the other nigt and I was like: "I wish I knew ayu before 2003 so that I could have enjoyed her voice more (yeah, I'm one of those people who think that ayu IS/WAS a GOOD singer).

I miss those days : /
Even with this performance you can tell that the voice from 1999 to 2007(?) is coming from the same person. This performance reminds me of her early lives for example. But with her actual voice, it's pretty difficult I think. Well it's not a problem in itself, but sometimes I feel it's not ayu's voice. I don't know how to explain this.

I don't know, it's just a thought and I might be completely wrong, haha.
Maybe it can be part of it. I don't know much as regards singing/technical stuff ^^". But her nasal voice didn't boher me. yet I know some people doesn't like it.
