I love Ayus voice. Maybe the first few songs I ever heard from Ayu were a little hard to digest because I had to get used to it. When I first got into J-Pop I listened to Dearest from Ayu and Final Distance from Hikaru Utada. I remember thinking, I want to know more music from that singer Ayumi Hamasaki. While I liked the Utada song, Dearest was so special - Ayu not as good a singer as Hikaru touched my emotions much more with her sweet singing. From then on I knew for me it's going to be Ayu that I'll follow as a fan. Love songs just reaffirmed that. She's far from perfect, but I just love her voice. I could listen to it forever. A lot of female singers voices make me cringe. Ayu never did. She is special and so is her voice. I think it has a healing effect. It touches my heart and makes me feel good when I'm sad. That's the power of Ayus voice to me.
