The lyrics and tune are very strong, it's natural for her to put more energy into singing them. She's singing about conviction, determination, never giving up, surely you won't expect her to use a soft and lovely voice to sing that? As a result, she sounds like she's shouting, and everyone just assumes it's because her voice is bad and she can't get the sounds out.

And true, she has been sounding rather out-of-breath in lives nowadays. But does anyone notice that she's actually making an effort to dance? To actually perform herself, instead of just standing there and singing, something which she used to do in those early days when her voice was apparently "still good". She only started to do this from 2007 onwards, the time period that some people say is the time when her vocals started going bad. Yeah, it takes lots of training to dance and sing well at the same time, and I admit ayu isn't amazing at that, I feel that that's why she sounds breathless half the time.

So when people just say things like "her voice sucks" and "go away and take lessons" without trying to think of why and what may have caused the change, don't you think it's a little harsh?

hmm that one of the reasons as well of why she sounded out of breath~
