MirrorcleHeaven: Your signature has hapiness in it. There's a missing p.

And the final (well, my final) verdict on Ayu's Chinese (My dad is pro and knows like a ton of dialects):
Her Chinese is very hard to understand. It has a heavy Japanese accent and only certain words like "mei yi tian" and "sen pien" are clear to him. He says that her Chinese sounds KINDA like Chinese, but the accent is so heavy, he'll have to listen with headphones to know what she's actually saying.

I listen to C-Pop a lot as I stated before, and her Chinese is kinda slurred / pronounced strangely. But the thing is, her voice sounds AWESOME, but the accent gets in the way.
