i don't get fans who hate on her voice. if you hate her voice and think she needs auto-tune or her vibrato sucks, then why are you a fan?
This is the first time though as a fan I find her vocals very displeasing in this song.

I think her voice sounds the best/most impressive it has in a song since Pride tbh.

No they're not. They're nothing like her old, high-pitched vocals. I'd love her to go back to either her LOVEppears or MA/MY STORY vocals and this is nothing like that.

I don't want her to use auto-tune, but I could sure live without her vibrato sometimes. She hasn't always been doing it, so it's not like it's always been there and even if it was you could barely tell she was doing it. But wanting her to sound better isn't a crime nor is Dream ON the best that she can do, as they are barely singing at all

I love Ayu's voice, but I can't deny the obvious straining she's doing all the time.

It sounds awful. Like you can hear the damage happening to her vocal chords.

I wouldn't mind her going back to the days when she wasnt straining for every other note.

I appreciate her not being out of key and such now, and I love the range she's singing at now and the power behind it, but, I mean, when she was younger, and she sang this way, it was like the most gorgeous thing ever.

I want that. But I know it's never going to happen. You can't repair this.

I really like her voice, but sometimes while live, i just hear it. Her voice isn't as strong as it was, and that turns out as not really clean notes and somtimes a weak voice.
But that doesn't bother me at all, it makes me just happy, because it let me know she sings live often.

I think if she would do a break for one year or a half year, and she would rest her voice a lot, it will come out stronger. And i also think it would be good for her carreer

anyway, i don't really care about autotuning her voice or not, as long as it makes a song better.

Het vocals are THAT bad in this song 0_o
Yeah, they are strained at times (specifically at the end) but not as bad as some people are making out.

Besides, straining to hit notes is hardly a new thing in Ayu songs. Some of her most popular songs have some huge straining going on, her voice was just higher then.

Her voice, to me, sounds like a mix between WE WISH and Rule.

I don't mind autotune. People don't understand, it's not like it'll make her voice sound like t-pain every time. There are different degrees of autotune. People act like it'll make her sound like a vocaloid. Her voice is strained from all the singing, and having a bit of help once in a while from a program hit those notes isn't a bad thing. I don't mind it as long as it's tastefully done and not put in every song.

Besides, anyone ever try using autotune? it's hard! if she can master it to make her voice sound better, then i think that takes a lot of practice. haha

^ for me, autotune it's just a form of mixing a song, and i like it in fact. Ofcourse if it's not overtuned like Lil Wayne songs.

Yeah... It's like a combination of LOVE 'n' HATE and Madonna's song "4 Minutes" but slowed down a little.

There, now that I am justified, I think this song sucks ass.
^ Hun if I could, I would give you a big hug.

It's quite hilarious that people feel so damn high and mighty that they can judge other people's level of fandom. If folks don't like the song or her vocals then so damn be it. Just go on about your day and don't worry about it.
Ya feel me?

Hmm...

I think this is a new kind of sound, refreshing in a way, at first I thought it was catchy but some other parts of the song don't get me as excited as I wish they would of.

I think I'll give it some time, hopefully the PV makes me like it more.

You know what, Ayu wrote both the melody and the lyrics for this song, meaning she produced the entire song from scratch. o_o
