Here one youtube video I found of the new song truth.

[Aspen]

I like the song... but the covers kinda ruin it, she looks sweeter in the vid .

[Polyrhythm]

Sadly not all the Ayumi's avex takes under its wings have Hamasaki-esqe looks/covers She has a solid voice though...but there's nothing about her that really stands out.

[Lee^ChaN]

whoa!! she has amazing voice for a 14 years old girl!!
A talented one!

[AyuGAME]

14 years old?!?!?!
wow...her voice is sooooo deep...i like the song!!!
she doesn't have a look, but her voice is really something..if she keep trained her voice maybe she can be the next misia...
i will keep my eyes on her...she sound promising

[Kingdom]

she is too young tbh, i see her taking an ero route within the next few years sadly

[NintendoHTF1242]

Wow I didn't know she was 14. I thought she was older judging by the pictures o-o I do like the covers though

[♥Rain]

wow what a voice. i'll have to keep an eye out for her stuff

[*Petit*]

Impressive! And I quite like the song. Her voice reminds me of ayaka's a bit.

[hpg23]

like, hello¿?

[ストロボ・EdGE]

OMG I'm so sorry for you little Nakamura Ayumi! This is sooo attention/pity seeking it's disgusting.

The girl is singing of how she's traumatized because she had to change her last name because her parents divorced and she keeps whining how she's abandoned. Srsly, the little quotes around that video are so retarded and pity seeking. When they asked her what kind of adult she wanted to become, her response was "A parent who can make their children happy"....

Everyone's parents divorce sweetie.

[keikeiaznqueen]

^ I agree. In the comments on the youtube video there are also people writing in Japanese reacting negatively to her selling pity, despite that she's quite talented.

She sings well though. I like her voice. If only the lyrics weren't so damn whiny and annoying. >(

[JackieRos]

just 14! I love her voice

[Mirai Noah]

I really like her voice

[wildconnetta]

@Edge: Not everyone's parents divorce...my parents have been happily married for 27 years (on July 1st)

[dreamland2.0]

^haha yah not quite a true statement, eh?

Anyways she has a nice voice, but she needs a stylist badly...

Can't you sense a hyperbole?

She's drawing pity to herself and attention when in fact many, many people's parents have divorced.

Yeah I read those; it's really ridiculous. Good look to you Ayumi. And if you're so traumatized by changing your last name, maybe you should've debuted as Mihara Ayumi.

[Twinkle !]

She is awesome and i can't believe shes only 14! her voice is great but the covers are .... :puck

I love the song too

[primavera♥]

ah. well her voice is pretty. but after a while the song is just okay. . .and it doesnt sadden me as much as i thought it would. or not much at all. cant believe shes a yr younger than me though. . . shes really showcasing her parents divorce thingy. (i guess im just to used to like half of my friends having divorced parents and not stressing)

pretty voice though.

[AyUta]

I'm going to follow her too. The song is nice.
