Just a few add-ons:
- "...from her experiences living abroad."
If I remember right, she lived in Bristol...in UK. She mentioned that in an interview.
- "...as she recovered, she acquired her distinctive husky voice."
I'm afraid that she hasn't fully recovered yet. Her vocal chords injury is what makes her voice 'husky'. She refuses to undergo a surgery, for it might change her vocal sound completely, if healed. She's still in the danger of losing her voice, too, for she might overdo it (who knows when). And so therefore, she concluded that now, with her current condition, is the perfect time for her to sing and express herself. (also from an interview)
She's really a passionate singer.
I hope she stays in good health.

Thanks, kyan ! Yeah, I remember reading that somewhere, thank you for the reminder. It's strange but I also respect her that she takes the chance to sing under such condition. Does she not have plan to 'fully recover' then? |

I believe so, yes. At least for the time being, I think she's enjoying how she sounds.
I hate thinking negatively, but I'm kinda worried for her current condition. Hope it's not that critical; seeing that she can perform at tight, consecutive schedules (with her Hall Tour and nZk 004, and a lot more).

That's how artists are; as if it's a must to have a tight schedule lol. In her case I agree that it's worrisome because technically she is 'not healthy'. At the same time, I'm also happy she's got to show her presence in public more. I'm sad that not many knows about her, anime fans included. |
