01. the style in ayu-mi-x 4 was pretty cool!
. except the makeup was kind of overdone..it looked scary. T_T. i prefer the outfit she wore for her MTV awards performance (forgot which year, but she sang M). does that count as "fake japanese"? it's a red top and black jeans or something...oh well it looked nice
02. i always thought her old voice was much...smoother? maybe "plain" is a better word ><. over the years its gotten coarser (if that's a word -__-). but i think the way its developed is a good thing...her old songs had a lot of synthesizer/keyboard use, so the soft-ish voice and the synthesizer went together well. now that her voice is coarser, it matches alot of the guitar use in her recent songs.
