Search - Ayumi Hamasaki :: Duty

Ayumi CAN sing, she just doesn't have the best voice

"It's true that Ayumi Hamasaki doesn't have the best voice on earth. she has such a sharp unique voice. But that doesn't mean she can't sing. I hate those people who are like: ooooh you don't have a strong mature voice, you can't sing!! those people should be shot because they are just prejudice. Ayumi has a very large voice range. she can sing very low to very high. And her voice actually sounds real. I think she sounds much better than Madonna, who's singing is just soooo fake. this album is by far, my favorite Ayumi featured album. A-best is also very good but is not a featured album. I really wish she would put "duty" as one of her A-best songs because I just loooove that song sooooo much."

An excellent Ayumi masterpiece

"Duty is by far one of Ayumi Hamasaki's better CDs. Coming from the standpoint of an American fan with, okay, only six of her CDs, this is one I can listen to thoroughly and never get tired of. Working from the strings of "Duty", to the harder tone of "End of the World", and then to the soft, sad aura of "Teddy Bear", it reaches points of emotion that other artists dream to have."

Utterly amazing

"This is my 2nd album from Ayumi and I am just amazed at how brilliant this album is. Every single track is captivating and one can simply get lost listening to this over and over and over. Believe the hype and then some."
