I like her voice less especially live these days too, but it's been like that for a little while. compared to when her voice was the most pleasing/interesting to my ears (up till around MY STORY I suppose), the change is mostly in timbre, but that's connected to the technique as well. She sounds older now, less clear and bright, like her thoat is dry half of the time, making her sound like she screams or at least rather "harsh" in many places. She also has volume control issues, even though it seems like her mic technique is fine to me live. THis could be related to her deaf ear though. Other changes related to her probably overworking her voice earlier in her career, singing in a way that's not really good for her voice (don't know who came up with the super high pitched helium voice (someone in avex?), but the difference between her early ASFXX lives and Idol on stage performances and later is pretty big) and smoking..
I technically don't mind that she misses out on a few notes here and there live, she's been doing that since LOVEppears, but the way she sounds now it doesn't sound cute anymore.
I really like how she sounds on Love Songs
fully processed studio album. But she hardly ever sounds like that live.
