I like the fake japanese style for the same reason happii just mentioned

I'll be honest, i like her LOVEppears through I am... voice best, excluding some of the re-recorded versions on A BEST. Her voice sounded kinda harsh in A Song for XX and Depend on you. Trust and End roll sounded good though. Her "A Song for XX" album voice was EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNTS OF FLAT!! X___X it's frustrating to listen to in songs like "For My Dear..." because the song coulda been soooo much more with better vocals. Her RAINBOW voice had that unnatural vibrato and it was hard to hear what note she was trying to sing, the high one or the low one XD David Bowie does the same thing in alot of songs, and as much as I love the guy's music, it bugs me with him too. Anyway, with Memorial address and MY STORY she seems to have gotten rid of the vibrato, but she still has the nicely developed and more powerful voice. The vibrato is natural sounding now and it goes faster so it doesn't sound like she's hovering between two notes anymore. I think she's tried a few things over the years, and practiced, and she's found a good balance now.
