Personally, I like high voiced Ayu better than low voice Ayu, but I don't mind low voice if it is done right. Lately, it seems, like she goes super flat and is screaming a bunch. She sounds tired and worn out. I don't really mind too much, as I know live is hard to sing and sometimes Ayu has amazingly beautiful live performances. 2007, to me, has been her worst vocal year. Still not horrible, just could use some work.

Seeing a live performance can really influence someone to buy the single and the t2m lives have not really been too great... But yeah, this is all up to opinion.
