I miss those days : /
I was an Ayu fan since 2001 and her voice is what drew me to her, then I found out she's also a good lyricist. Those were the days. lol I'm one of the few who liked her 98-01 voice and Duty.

Singing correctly gives you so much more freedom with your voice, but to get that control it takes a whole lot of control to do so in the first place...
I considered this possibility only recently. I have no problem whatsoever singing her older songs, or using my head voice. My range singing this way is actually greater and doesn't sound as nasally as hers. When it comes to singing in my chest and singing "correctly" I experience some of the same problems as Ayu now does. It takes way more control, breath, and effort with my voice sounding flat. It could be because its hard for me to sing lower notes, as my voice will cut off if trying to go too low. :/ For me singing through my nose is easy, but through my diaphram is way harder.

Hopefully that snippet wasn't the final version of the song. I think they'll probably do a bit of editing before the actual release. From what I could hear, it wasn't that bad.
