^I preffer original, Shiina's tracks are always so noisy
Shiina Ringo sings half of the song with an annoying voice then she change to a normal voice which is very similar to Utada's |

Listening to those four previews just now was what I imagine a satanic ritual would be like.
"Letters" was more tolerable than I expected but I have high respects for Utada's original arrangement because it's absolutely one of her best. "Keep Tryin'" was pretty cute, "Sakura Drops" was unreal and "FINAL DISTANCE" was just ok... But overall, this is thoroughly entertaining. |

Honestly, to appreciate Shiina's voice you have to listen to a few songs in her discography. I thought her cover was really emotional and well-done.
Keep Tryin' is cute but it's nothing special. SAKURA Drops holy shit LMFAO! I actually kind of like it. I was pretty terrified to hear AI's cover of FINAL DISTANCE cause I stan for that song, but she did work. I like it.

Wow quite a few people hating ringo's voice lol. tbh though that is her signature, high pitch with the twist of "R". Even tho I dun listen to her whole discography, she has really good songs like Honnou, Gibusu, Ringo no Uta, Kabukichou no Joou, etc. I think she did a really good job on letters, as she managed to transform the song to "herself" rather than just covering it.

I just listened to the youtube version SAKURA drops, the opening music was a wow to me lol. The arrangement blends extremely well with Yosui Inoue's old style vocal. I dunno but I'm kinda stuck to old style sometimes, so his version, while may not on par with hikki (yeah I'm biased towards her), is very very good .

I really loved Letters and SAKURA Drops.
Didn't like AI's cover, her voice is just so... not my cup of tea. Haven't listened to Keep Tryin' yet, but I'm so happy that First Love didn't make it. I love it's lyrics but I think it's a pretty flat song.

I love shiina ringo but I didn't like her rendition of letters.
Letters is my favorite song of Hikki so I think Shiina just ruined it. |

I loved AI's cover. It sounded a bit more like gospel music.

I've always admired Shiina Ringo, she's amazing. But I've never been able to listen to her because of her vocals. It's her thing, and it's whatever. I was actually surprised that her vocals weren't as annoying in Letters lol
As I said, these aren't really supposed to just be covers lol They're supposed to be more like personal renditions. @bluegie: I'm not really a big, big fan of hikki's early arrangements. A lot of them are really basic and dated for me, even if they're somewhat innovative, or were for their time. I just prefer a modern sound. lol even with Final Distance. I always preferred the piano arrangement to the original. I do think the "sadness" is sort of lost....but I think that makes it interesting. Also happy First Love isn't here. fml I'm tired of that damn song.

The range of opinions is baffling me. I can't imagine how varied the reception of Ayu's cover will be. lol

AHS will probably implode, lmao.

It'll implode while utada is STILL MIA. ugh
looking forward to ayu's cover though. i mean if you cover 90s jpop trash then you really have to put in effort to fuck up. and ayu's been on that 90s jpop trash train before so i think her choice is right at home. |

Don't like the previews except for AI's version of FINAL DISTANCE. I love Shiina Ringo's unique voice, but I didn't like the arrangement. Sakura Drops was just O_O Keep Tryin' had very weak airy vocals which made me dislike it. I however do not think AI's cover is better than Utada's. I also find that AI's voice is not for every person as some people might find it to deep. My mom and sister thought she was a guy when they first heard her, and they felt her vocals were a bit harsh.
