She's totally off key here.

^Is it bad that I prefer the original even with Sayu's vocals compared to Ogawa's ver ?
I mean Ogawa is probably a little bit out of practice and I can't say Sayu hit the key better with a straight face ... but just the general tone of her voice suit the song better and Sayu conveyed the girly, frailty feeling of the lyrics better imo.

[Sohee]

I prefer Sayu's over Makoto's too.

[Zunu]

She's gotten so much better — she actually sings now. She always had power, but for so long she simply shouted along with the music.

I expect Zukki to develop the same way, if she stays long enough.

I completely agree. Kanon has the same kind of voice that Risa does. I hope that she will get there faster than Risa though.

Risa's improved with age as most of them have, but she never really had much of a problem singing under controlled circumstances...ie within her pitch range, and not out of breath from dancing.

Spoiler: show

she sounds SO YOUNG lol.

[Starra]

I've loved Risa's voice ever since 2002 lol. She's always been one of my faves.

[wotakubrandon]

Vocally she's always been one of my favorites too. Ever since I heard her solo in Do It Now.

[TotallyUncool]

I always liked her voice -- it was always kind of a treat when she'd get a chance to really sing.

Eh, she's not too bad here. She goes off key a lot, but I attribute that to being completely out of practice. When she hits the notes, she sounds really good. I always thought Makoto had the potential to be a bomb ass singer, but she was never utilized.

As for Risa, while I never hated her voice, she had that weird Talk-singing problem that Zukki had (and is starting to get rid of) and Haruna has (Which is getting a little better, just a little though ) I never really appreciated her voice until Ribon No Kishi. Damn, she just instantly became a great singer during that musical.

[Parhelion69]

eh, I listened to Yowamushi, and I don't remember Mako being this bad a singer

Well, I guess she didn't have many lines back then, but wasn't she the hyped one from the 5th generation? (at least at the beginning) I mean, she had to have the potential right? Maybe she's out of practice or something, but I guess she should've been better than this by now...

[Celedam]

She was only ever hyped for her dancing. She got tagged as the ace of that generation because she was the least awkward at the time.
