I had compared Ayaka to Hikaru Utada back when she first debuted. Not musically, but artistically in that she doesn't follow trends, is vocally raw, writes her own material and puts her heart into her music. But aurally and visually Ayaka gave me Hikaru vibes with this performance of "Tsuyoku omou" on her 2012 live tour.
This song is very different to anything Ayaka had done before, sounding like a cross between Hikaru's "Prisoner of love" and "Colors". And with the whole short hair and red flowing outfit, this could have been a scene from the Utada United. Not a diss. Not even a compliment. Just an observation. I love both these bitches.
Ayaka's vocals never cease to amaze me. The clarity in her vocals gives me chills and you would think that the little trampy haired chick would be able to hit the notes she does and give such power. Even when Ayaka is fighting a disease and her immune system is f**king up, she is still pushing bitches down into seats telepathically.
