[Raiu-Ayu]

Comments like that are not shocking when it comes to ayu. Since the mid-2000s she's been getting criticised because she's no longer the phenomenon she used to be. But she never would have been able to maintain that anyway.

I find it sad when people are overly harsh on her vocals these days. Like they do understand the woman is deaf in one ear right? That is going to affect singing and pitching like crazy. Also, ayu was NEVER known for her vocals. If you watch old tv show recordings she ain't really all that back then either.
