I really didn't like Last Links before because of her voice, but this time the orchestra version really emphasizes how bad her voice really is in that song... she is just yelling the song, and it is much too low for her voice.... Last Links really frustrates me because its a great song with great melody, but her voice ruined it...

Also I really loved meaning of Love in the album, but this one shows how her voice on that track was pure garbage... I'm sorry to say, it's really really disappointing... after I listened to this preview, I wondered if her voice actually always sounded like that, and I listened to Dearest Piano version, Moments Piano version, and MY STORY Classical...

They all sound wonderful, and the voice matches the instruments... this time, it really doesn't and it's disappointing... I really question how they could release a song with vocals like Last Links... like there are even flat points on the vocals...

I'm so disappointed about it... but I like the remixes of Don't Look Back and Microphone...
Because it's pretty subjective.
There is nothing wrong with ayu's vocals themselves, she just sing those songs in a lower pitch and you probably don't like it and that's fine.

It doesn't mean they shouldn't release it really. I love those vocals. They are pretty emotional for me. For me the most important thing that a singer's vocals should have it's emotion and I can get a lot of it from Last Links and especially meaning of Love (that's how meaning of Love could become my favorite ballad ever).
