yeah not all the songs are like that~ and some songs without the wails still sound as good as those with the wails

but it all comes down to personal preference

agreed.. I really dont like her voice...
although she can reach very wide range vocal, her vocal is sooooo boring. at least Namie ayu kuu are better because they are awesome in singing while dancing


i think they are the best singers. they can sing very good while dancing and hiro has very high pitch voice
she also very good in singing jazz

oh, i also wanna add JYONGRI, Yuna Ito ayaka, and Younha, too.

I never quite understood why Hitomi Shimatani isnt as famous as she should be. Her voice and control in her music is incredible and her voice is superbly effortless...Yuna Ito is another great voice...ayaka is amazing...Younha...I have to disagree...not much special about her but she's still young I guess...have yet to hear JYONGRI

dude seriously, why do you hate hikki. I see nothing she could have done to you for you to hate her so much. And it's like...all the time...I don't understand it at all.

And hunny I'm sorry, but those girls are awful in that video.

@kaori: I thought you were a girl for a second...but then I forgot...sorry! I'll go edit.

About alan's wail...I think it's really cool...but I mean...that's like her kinda trademark gimmick thing...which I really don't like because it's keeping her to the same styles of music...and I really wish she could use her vocals in other ways, because she does have nice vocals.

I dont hate hikki at all.
If i hate her I will not ever listen to her songs. I love some of her songs too but tbh. I just dont like her vocal. it's too boring for me.


and for Alan, her voice is very good although I dont like the way she is yodeling
XD

she has a very good song. she needs more practice to sing. she needs to improve her vibrato. I dont like she sing ashita e no sanka because it's too flat. should be having a vibra

I don't keep up with Alan but I remember listening to this one song one time that sounded very oriental and the singer was constantly doing this high pitched yell-esque singing in the song. From all of these descriptions of Alan, I'm beginning to think it was her and I didn't like it. And this title being thrown around, "Something something Senka", by Alan looks familiar like it might have been what I heard. I'll have to check up on that. I tried to like that song too but she just wouldn't stop.

totally agree! hikki has some nice songs but they're just..very boring..songs to sleep to. her voice is not as spectacular as people make it out to be. i remember before i listened to her people would go on about how good of a voice she has and when i listened to a couple of her albums i was like "lol wut"

oh but also alans voice is amazing too! lots of japanese singers have really unique and nice voices!

I like alan's wails....just although in Ashita e no Sanka it was a bit on the loud side....its haunting...and ethnic sounding. Iunno...just like it. Anyone tried Kanon Wakeshima? Something similar there...I was playing it the other day...and my Dad came in and was like "what is that horrible sound? It sounds like someone dying" and I was just like k...

@Cori: listen to Xin Zhan. It's the only alan song I actually really like and listen to. The others bore me. It has no wails

her voice is definitely very oriental though so...you have been warned lol

To all those comments about alan's Ashita e no Sanka, that song will always be a "hit or miss" track. Some people will love it, some will hate it. It just depends on their preferance. However, that song showed her true vocal abilities so if you don't like Ashita e no Sanka, then I doubt they'll be any song by alan you might like at all. =/

hmm.. did that make sense?

that's exactly the same reaction i had.
i really tried to like her music. i basically forced myself to listen to her music.
her voice isn't even that bad. she just needs to try different things. all her songs sound the same

me too. I dont see how good her voice is. it's like her as amaze as Mariah carey's voice. but I still love her song esp final distance and beautiful world.. she's very good composer but her voice cant grow on me.

Well that song will always be a miss for me. There are songs I love from her like, Kuon no Kawa, BRAVE, Megumi no Ame, Gunjou no Tani and half of her album that weren't singles.

Of all those listed, I like Ayu's live vocals the best. Kumi can't really handle the ballads well. Utada is mostly ok but she tends to do loads of annoying things with her voice. Hitomi Shimatani, BoA and ayaka are far better than most of those listed (vocally).

That's a pretty song. Reminds me of Tsukiko Amano, whom I love.
