in the song the music & sound starting 4:19 seems to cover Ayu voice and Ayu can't sing it over. I do not know and I don't think anyone else knows if it is intentional or is because of her incapability. then I do not understand why even record the song she's incapable of singing?
of course it might not be important but I guess I personally would have liked this song much more if during it's peak after 4:19 she would have made it bloom with the power of her voice. to me this is what made the song dissapointing to a certain extent
I completely agree with you. Someone just needs to listen to the edited Asia Tour 2008, and then listen to the vocals from the UNEDITED Countdown 2011-2012, and you can hear the big difference.

Also, the live version of How Beautiful You Are, I thought she actually was off at the low notes, but she was so great in the last part of the song. So much power and control. And of course, the Countdown version doesn't use the vibrato a lot like the studio version, so I'm sure she recorded on the days she was sick this song in London.

Her vocals sound so much better lately than ever. Have you guys honestly listened to her in the past? It was good in 2003 - 2004, but even Memorial Address and Teddy Bear weren't so perfect at the Arena Tour, and everyone loves those performances. And Concert Tour 2000, don't even get me started LOL.
