Actually, Scooter, the only reason I know what she says is because I found her voice amazing and I wanted to know what she was talking about. When I found out, I was surprised because even her lyrics are excellent. I wish we had some more pop stars like her (who can use her brain AND vocal skills at the same time).

I'll have to go agains popular opinion and say I like her voice. I don't normally like jpop, but I like her voice. Only when remixed though. Still don't care for straight up jpop.

hehehe... I only find her voice annoying when she tries the sing in a pitch which her voice can hardly sustain... this is very noticable when you watch her live performance clips...

But her voice in HANABI ish very kool! More laid back, not too intensed... Be great if she keeps singing like that!

i dont mind her vocals at all whether i can understand her or not. and i dont find her voice annoying either, i think she has a great voice, in some songs. sometimes i think it better that i dont understand because that way its about the melody of her singing and how well she flows with the song. thats why many people, including myself really love the trance songs with the opera-like vocals, i.e. all the songs with the sample from gladiator. the usual lyrics in trance vocal songs are about love anyways, so its not like we are missing something special by not understanding wut she says. in some cases i think her singing makes the song, i.e. connected.

Personally I don't mind the vocals at all, at least in most of the remixes such as Ayumi Hamasaki - Whatever (Ferry Corsten Dub) and Ayu - Connected although I can understand why a lot of people don't like them. In my opinion they're something different and fits in quite nicely to at least some of the tracks for a bit of a change.

I'm not a big fan usually, but the Vocals in the Dumonde mix of Trauma certainly add a little more energy to the track, especially live, I heard Dumonde drop it at Godskitchen, and on that sound system...it was just beautiful

I think Ayu's voice is beautiful. Her voice adds to the emotion and the energy of her remixes. In particular I like the sound of her voice in Trauma (Dumonde Remix), M (Above and Beyond Remix), Whatever (Ferry Corsten Remix) and Connected. They are all outstanding tracks without vocals, but Ayu's voice makes them even better!

I also like her lyrics. As Maaz said, they are excellent. I like the sound of Japanese vocals as well (I am a j-pop fan), so I suppose that aspect makes Ayu's tracks even more appealing to me.

well, normally i dont like japanese songs. but i have to admit i like her vocals because she is so beautiful on the record covers. all her recent record covers are very stylish.

anyway, her voice is nice too, even though i dont understand what she sings. she is one of the few pop artists that can write songs and is beautiful.

All right, if anyone says she's ugly, we're gonna have a looong discussion!
