Ayu's natural tone is very... generic. She sounds pretty much like any other japanese female singer during her pre-Avex days.
The voice she used during her peak reflected not only a revival of the 80's idol concept, with the kawaii image and high pitchness (remembering the biggest female singers from the 90s are most likelly Keiko, Namie and Yuming, none of them sounding this way), and also making reference to some of the jpop most iconic voices (Seiko, Keiko, Yuming, Akina that I can recognize, but there's more). So, the extreme high pitchness make her voice unique and easily recognizible, and at the same time, it took advantage of the emotional memory japanese people have of some of their most beloved vocalists for the past 20 years at that time.
