ayumi does have a nice sound, but only after it's been optimized in the studio. her live performances are brutal; her voice gets way too nasal-y for me. but she is a cutie, and a short one too. my personal fav is m. such a nice and peaceful track.

props to tha j-pop massive! *waits to get flamed*

chris kaos: it's not like u r the only chinese here and and it's not like u know everything. i guess u just havent listen to good chinese songs YET
there r some good songs by chinese artists.....for instance, slow-tech riddim makes good tracks

and i like ayu's voice, i think her voice's getting better and better

mot10n: if u listen to her latest live performances u'll notice her voice's not as cracked as in last yrs concert, u have to understand that she has live performance almost every single day in these 3 yrs

and her songs, well, it's jpop alrite, but some of the ppl in here just dun understand how jpop is different than pop in the US
i mean, download ayu's "evolution", "end of the world" or "independent", and LISTEN TO THEM FIRST B4 U SAY ANYTHING
neither britney nor mandy etc would have songs like these in their albums

Yea, I was at a record store the other day and there were loads of japs music both pop and trance and i bumped in to the ayu - trance 2. Seeing the tracklist i bought it .. costs me 6 quids.. the vocals just bores you to death.. i'm sitting there in my car having to imagine while listening to it how it'd be without vocals... if you want quality pop japs singer try Utada Hikaru.. she's damn cute as well! go to www.themusiclover.com or kazaa and you might be able to find the tune to d/l from there. I'm glad i own the M ep on vinyl so none of those vocals to annoy me =)

woops

U wouldn't like her stuff Stu

The album is full of vocal mixes really and her vooice is awful.

The dubs are avaliable but quite hard to get hold of unless you're in Japan

i used to listen to her before i listened to trance and i like her music. but then again if you cant understand japanses i'm not sure if you would like it.

I was talking about the genarl release singles like 'Far & Away (Rank-1 Instrumental)' etc.....

I have the M EP anyway, and I know its as rare as rocking horse shit

nice voice, better than some of the other lassies out there.

i cant understand what she is saying so i love the remixes that have DUB in them



M(above and beyond DUB)
