Why can't Maemi think Hikki is better if she feels that way? It's okay not to agree to anything Ayu fans say. This is a Hikki thread so you should expect Hikki fans to defend their queen. It's a matter of taste anyway. You can argue but it doesn't change it anyway.
Oh, me? I have no opinion on their live vocals because I like both a lot (but Kuu will always be the best for me and that's not going to change) and they both has had their ups and downs but it's not a crime imo.
