her tone is gross in the verses, but everything else is fine. the song itself, is very average and would have made a better ending album track then any sort of single. ayu's voice has improved vastly, she isn't struggling as much (you can hear an effortlessness in her voice at times) and her voice has opened up (less nasal). she sounds like now she is using proper technique, and i think that is why people are saying she is trying to sound american. honestly, she's just using proper technique/more open tone and only strengthening her diaphragm. i love the belting parts at the end. i'm also shocked at how much people don't know about that voice.
