Wow. Even they acknowledge Ayu 0_o. But I stilll don't get the jigoe part. When does Ayu use the jigoe? Is it during the high-pitched parts or something?

Finally! An intellegent article about J-pop

I've always thought Ayu sounded more Japanese than Hikki when singing. Her voice always reminds me of old J-pop and enka. It could also be that Ayu's primary language is Japanese whereas I can only guess that Hikki uses and thinks in English more often. It's a very noticeable difference in the way they phrase the words of their songs.

I love this article! Most Ayu vs Hikki arguments about their vocal styles come down to "she-just-sings-better-you-teh-suck". It's refreshing to read about it from this point of view, without too much subjective bias or value judgment.

I guess Ayumi and Utada really are super-famous. Still, her A single was a while ago - Ayumi's voice has changed since then (it's become stronger).

I always thought that in term of J-Pop queen, it always Ayumi rather than Utada. Utada is more to western style. Now, i think i can clarify my thesis wih this article

I guess Ayu's voice always had this traditional sense to it, which is cool. But it's fun to read an intelligent article that seems to looks at the Ayu vs. Hikki in a neutral perspective. I think the same vocal style can also be applied to Hitomi Shimatani.

Thanks for the article.
