Yeah, there are some singers who are praised for their throatyness.

However, I don't think she has been singing from the throat anymore, and in 2003-2004, it seemed like her vocal technique was really great, and not utilizing her throat. I mean she's been taking vocal lessons a lot recently, so I don't think she's gonna have many more problems... I'm hoping that her singing voice will transform into something really great for her next album. I'm waiting patiently!

Furthermore, it's extremely difficult to use your stomach when singing in Japanese. It's completely different way of speaking than english, and the singing techniques are hard to apply for the pronunciation required for japanese songs. That's why Japanese people have a really hard time singing english songs, and vice versa.
