^ Why thank you! Peco, despite being a total epic fail at harmonizing with Ayu, still impresses me - somewhat, with her vocal range.

Oh I forgot to mention about the vocals in her first three albums... Like someone mentioned that she sounded lower in her pre-avex days or something. Well, wasn't NOTHING FROM NOTHING like... hip-hop? Okay, honestly which hip-hop artiste in the world actually raps with a high, squeaky voice. I think that was so oxymoron... I wouldn't be expecting Ayu to be rapping her LIMIT or whatever songs from that era in her LOVEppears voice.

So I would say that she's not "forcing" herself to be super squeaky in the first three albums... it was probably really her original vocal range. And I still don't get why she composed UNITE! and Endless sorrow in such a high pitch if her voice doesn't belong to that range. She wouldn't be trying to kill herself, would she? Unless D.A.I wants to screw her over because they're too jealous of her when they composed Dearest (and the rest of her songs in the early days)...
