Then I'm really like "ok we get it! end the song already! you are straining your voices, off key, and are way too old to hold a long note anyways"
I hadn't notice this last part .. . hahaha honesty is a good thing - more if it comes with humor!

As much as they kind of weird me out I say no. They've been a part of Ayu for quite some time now...I don't know it'd be kind of odd seeing Ayu with new back-up singers. I guess you could say they're kind of like a tradition...like Ayu's concert staples lol.

I was talking about this with chocopocky last night XD and I love Peco and Princess. Seriously. I know that their singing skills are not all that great but they're so energetic and they add to the performance in a unique way. I mean, even though all the "yeah yeah yeaaaaaaaahs" may be a bit tiresome, it's kinda cool to see Ayu, Peco and Princess doing that together. Heh, maybe I'm weird. But I like Peco and Princesss and I wouldn't want Ayu to replace them.

I've gotten use to them by now, but I wish she would get singers with voices more similar to hers. Their voices are deep and throaty, with conflicts with her often whiny, high-pitched voice. I'm not saying that any of them are bad singers, they just don't complement each other.

Ugh yes. They sound so strange with her - their voices don't blend with hers at all, they sound (and look) far older than her... it makes for a strange mix of voices. If you're gonna have background singers, they need to sound similar to you so that the harmonies blend together well and no one sticks out. Not to mention one of them (not sure which because I don't actually know who is who xD) looks a TON like Xena the Warrior Princess. Hahaha.

I found them here: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103608

A great thread for making sets when you're hopeless at cutting out images like me, because all the images are pre-cut and transparent.

I'm not into Peco and Princess too, because they look out of place.
Peco's and Princess' low background vocals are okay, but once Peco goes high, she sounds really pitchy nasally. And don't get me started on those high kicks, hahaha.
I don't see anything wrong with Princess.
Anyway, they fit with the whole band.
I know from most concerts Peco and Princess sound kinda bad, and I noticed that in TV LIVEs they just lipsynch to the background vocals (and I thought only leads do that) and dance like they mean it, hahaha.
But I also noticed that before they came along, the previous background singers I saw in TV LIVEs don't do Ayu justice. They're barely audible and not to mention too soft and weak for Ayu's strong vocal.
It's just like different flavors; you don't dip candy into tobasco. They don't go together.
So, Peco and Princess do just that. Their harmony combinations compliment Ayu's singing.
I'm sure people who have heard Ayu in concert would say the vocals are awesome.
Peco and Princess are friends with Ayu, and they have great bond together.
What more can I say?
Ayu certainly knows what's best for her.
