^ I don't really have a problem with her early vocals though surprisingly. I prefer her deeper voice, but I can at least stand her early voice.

Her voice being deeper is not the problem at all. Her deep voice is great. The problem is her technique is bad and I do feel like her chords have probably become damaged. Compare a performance with her deep voice in 2003 - such as Tokyo on Music Fair or her duet with Akina Nakamori; the deep tone is great, but her technique was so much more stable and it sounded a lot better. Now almost always she is either screaming/yelling, sounding out of breath and choppy and it seems lately like she has maybe lost the ability in her vocals to do soft tones/notes; everything is overpowered and it often makes her voice sound strained. I still keep holding out hope though that it will get better.
