For Finally, wasn’t she remaking them with the intent of sounding as close to the original as possible? (Mostly so she could regain the rights to them? Maybe this was just a rumor that I heard?)

Maybe I’m wrong lol. (Also, that was the reason for Jojo too, right?)


In any case, for me personally, I feel that when Ayu has re-recorded things, they’ve been rather intentionally changed. Updated versions to fit her current voice or mood or career. So I never got that “it doesn’t beat the original” feeling because I don’t think they were ever trying to be the original.

Edit: A Best being the outlier lol. I believe it was Avex who pushed her to re-record those.
