I first heard her voice with "is this LOVE?" and thought she sounded great with the rawness and emotion. Eager to listen to more, I found "evolution" and thought what a different and squeaky voice! I left Ayu's music for a time until I felt brave enough to listen again. This time I looked at lyric translations to better understand what she was singing about. I have always felt that Ayu sings with emotion rather than technique and that's why I love her music. The rest is history
