Yeah, it's a big surprise hearing her sing in those old videos, actually she never sung like that ever again. I sounds like she used her voice technically more correct back in those days as well. I don't know why she changed, it might've been avex advice making her sing more high pitched, even though I was under the impression that she rather quickly had some sort of control over both song selection, arrangements and composition. TThe high pitch craziness reached its peak with kanariya and listening to it, it does sound like her voice has been altered for the highest parts of the song, I don't think she ever really reached those notes. Sort of makes you wonder what the purpose of it all was...

Actually, looking at her performance of haru yo, koi, it's like seeing her performing voyage that many years later in 2002, even her hand gestures.
