Your FIRST impression of Ayu's voice??

[CHE.R.RY]

When I first heard her voice I felt like it was awfully strained & reserved sounding...I really didn't like it all that much. Of course that all changed over time with songs like no more words (the first song I heard from Ayu was Dearest). I've grown to love Ayu's unique voice & cherish it although I still have moments when I wish she would tone down the vibrato a notch.
