Her recorded version of Ao no Ether made me very annoyed that I could hardly listen to it without thinking of how flat her voice was.
That given, the effect of Megumi's constant cutesy parade on me is actually numbing. Initially I choked on it, and even hated it, but now I feel as if that's just how her producers want her to be, so we should all let it be and not take it against her personally. Macross F is indeed a well-sold franchise, and if they intend to ride along with its popularity by making her evoke the "feel" of Ranka, then we can't do anything about it.
For her benefit, I still think she's pretty, and I still think that her voice has a lot of potential because of its nice bell tone. But she's no Charice Pempengco  |
That doesn't stop the whole facade from being just that, absolutely fake. Regardless of whose fault it is to human Ranka-fy her, the end result is a girl who doesn't match cutesy 2D dancing, 2D acting, and a closet that's just half baked >_> Nakajima is pretty, but there are far prettier singers, and she simply isn't cute and petite enough to pull off what she is doing now x_X;
I never went as far as to bash her voice. She's generic, I liked May'N's feat more, but I've never said that she was bad. I even had major freak outs about Dokkun-ings but that's more of a lyric fear not singing.
I didn't even dislike her until her post-frontier videos came out on YT >___>
