I don't know, it's just a thought and I might be completely wrong, haha...
This is actually very possible. For those who don't know how, or even simply aren't used to, singing in a professional, "correct" way, singing through the nose is much easier and enables more control, even if it limits range and sounds kinda gross (lol).
Singing correctly gives you so much more freedom with your voice, but to get that control it takes a whole lot of control to do so in the first place...if that makes sense, lol. (Like, it takes a lot of practise and control to sing correctly - from the diaphragm, and not through the nose.) And considering Ayumi never had wonderful breath support to begin with, this may certainly be making it harder than it has to be for her.
