I think she has bright future, her voice is strong, she has amazing figure as she is also fashion model, she also has charismatic personality. Want to see more of her.

This clip really introduce her nicely, she even can played classical piano pieces, her talent is HUGE

Even though she's promising I feel her songs sound like anime soundtrack

I hope they give her better songs to sing, she has a GREAT voice!

[Utena]

7 Wonders sounds so much better than her debut song, even though it's not really original. She has a nice voice.

It really does, and there are already so many singers that do those kinds of songs. I'd be here for her singing different kinds of songs too tbh.

[Toniayu123]

I must admit she has a good voice, when her first single came out I thought she was another playback singer but with her new song I have to retire my words. I'm not fond of her music at the moment though

[AyuGAME]

i think 7 WONDERS did justice to her vocal style...and pretty much doesnt sound like anime track for me...

but well we will see her bright future ahead...she already doing well on the recochoku chart, also her 2nd single doing well on top 20 oricon chart.

[primavera♥]

Oh I like 7 wonders. The first song is whatever.

Maybe I'll follow her since she's new and I don't have to catch up with a huge discography.
I like her voice and her energy when performing and she's adorable.

[AyuGAME]

yup 7 WONDERS is so strong and showcase her vocal...

Fancam of her doing promotion for 7 WONDERS

I think I prefer LOVE EVOLUTION, hahaha.
I think I will follow her, she is pretty, with a good voice and nice music !!

[AyuGAME]

^haha good then...music is all about taste and style...

can't wait to see her performance at music station this friday.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

First time hearing about her, definitely someone to watch out for!

I prefer 7 Wonders

I feel like it's been awhile since I've seen a talented female soloist who looks "cool" with songs that aren't about sadness and breaking up lol.

Also, her music style is very J-pop--so I like it

[Bigtop]

Same hometown as Ayu (Fukuoka, eh?), very promising...look out guys. One of those unique J-pop girls out there today...

[AyuGAME]

^Yes! Same from Fukuoka

She can play guitar, piano...also she can dance very well, just realise that she is under same agency with DaPump and Fairies...no wonder she train as dancer as well...

Dancing
Playing keyboard and singing

[~StarCatcher~]

I started listening to her this weekend and watched her PVs.

I think she got huge talent to become big. Her voice is very strong and the music is nice, too^^
