^ I cannot sit through it either, and I think that is why I seem to gravitate more towards the opinion that Ayumi Hamasaki's voice is not a product of ultra-damaged vocals, but a lack of not being able to hear herself to the same degree as she could eight years ago. Her singing style has probably changed dramatically as without the aid of her left year, she can no longer properly project those super high notes from her earlier days. Well, technically she can, but not in a way that is pleasant to a listener. This is not her natural range...I think the real Ayu voice is the one we hear now.

I really appreciate recent performances where Ayu is able to sing beautifully.
