Hayamin went to a famous Catholic girls' school called White Lily Academy (
Shirayuri Gakuen) from kindergarten into high school. The school could have been the model for the school in Marimite. I suspect she was involved in choir, even though her main focus was piano. In high school, she sometimes went to jazz singing classes her mother was taking. In my opinion, she has one of the most beautiful -- or at least sweetest -- voices in the world, when she gets a chance to show it without it being drowned out by the arrangement.
I'm looking forward to hearing Ayahime, too. She has a college degree in vocal music, apparently specializing in opera. She did theme music for
Requiem for the Phantom, singing songs written by Kokia almost as well as Kokia herself. I prefer those to the full-on opera-like style you posted (for which, thanks). Here are
Ayahi and Hayamin singing an ED from
Sora no Otoshimono. Ayahi hits the high notes, Hayamin has the intimate sweetness.
And this is off-topic, but I'm going to
link to my blog post that shows the animated music video of Yuuki Aoi singing one of the songs on DECO*27's new album. I was totally amazed. I thought her album in March was good, but this is great. Maybe she has been going to karaoke with her radio partner Hayami Saori. Although "sweet" would not be my description of Ao-chan's singing voice.
