I really wanted to like the cover! But Ayu's voice in the cover.... :/ I just feel like her singing style lately actually holds her BACK from expressing a full range of emotion. There's a certain quality of her voice of late that is very....strained and aged sounding?I'm not much of a Keiko/Globe fan (though I love the Many Classic Moments song!) but I have to say Keiko lets out wayyyy more emotion in the original track especially toward the end of the song. There's such intensity and desperation in her voice throughout the song that even though I'm not much a fan of her other stuff this song amazes me. I didn't feel ANY of that from Ayu's cover as much as I wanted to. And the autotuning was done in a manner that's just so harsh on the ears.....I'm usually not a downer, I swear! I guess I just had high hopes (I didn't listen to the preview before listening to the whole track) and now they're dashed lol. And I agree that NOT having the rap part was probably a good idea, but the bridge they replaced it with wasn't very creative.
