I saw the video of Ayu miming it but I didn’t realize it was actually her singing until almost the end! Her studio voice for this is completely different. Seems she’s completely transitioned away from that emotional style of singing. I hope it’s only for this track. You would never guess it’s the same artist who sings The Show Must Go On for example.

I understand it’s difficult if not impossible for her to maintain that style, but I guess the main appeal with Ayu for me was that she always sounded as if someone was wringing her heart dry as she poured out her soul into the song. Almost as if she was in pain because of how strongly her emotions were consuming her. Here it just kinda sounds like she’s sitting pleasantly in a rocking chair before a floor full of snot nosed kids singing nursery rhymes. Lmao.

She's probably focusing more on pronouncing the language right than putting emotions into it.

Thank god. It's not her natural voice. She was straining her voice trying to sing higher than her range and also trying to sound cute.

It's so sweet that she's reposting a lot of the fans! I feel like she wanted to gift all her fans around the world with this, sharing people all over the world. Even writing "Thank you. Stay Safe" in Portuguese! I missed that real fan interaction that we could only get around the Twitter era. <3

I'm not really a fan of the chinese version of MY ALL or more like that short snippet we got but I very seldom find a chinese song that I like.
It's so cool to see her share some of the videos on her instagram and that she has some nice words for them

^ All I think about it when I see them is that she decided to stop receiving awards at some point.

ˆ I was looking into that and I think she didn't stopped receiving awards but instead stopped going to award shows. If you look at her Award page in Wikipedia, she kept receiving awards until 2010.

Some of the "awards" in that list are a bit bizarre. I wonder which ones though that had trophies in Japan correlate to what in the shelf.

She is singing in a language she does not understand. One tends to concentrate more on pronouncing the words properly rather than anything else...

People do sound different when they sing in other languages, i noticed that with Miyavi, HYDE, Jaejoong, Alan.... The pronunciation is different and so are the way you use air to produce sounds needed. Ayu's the most extreme though, i thought it was someone else..but then, she's not familiar with chinese, so her not sounding like she usually does is understandable.... I don't hate this deeper register though.

I've noticed from the past few months that you seem to be unhealthily obsessed about Ayu's baby and baby daddy situation.
