Yukiho Hagiwara - Afraid of most small creatures

[Sev]

agreed

[Tenchy]

Same here.

I like Yukiho's new costume and voice actress.

Agreed =D

[Scotty]

Least she's more innocent now than ever before...

Where have you guys been? Yeah Yukiho has a new VA. Most of us seem to agree that shes good. Her name is Azumi Asakura.

After the little 5-idol snippet from iM@S2, there's a video of Yukiho singing "THE iDOLM@STER" (from L4U!). The voice is new, though; it belongs to Asakura-san.

[Lushe]

Huh, Yukiho's new VA isn't bad at all. I think she's pretty good.

[Cael K.]

I doubt that most people haven't already compared voices already, but here's a comparison video that got put up a few days ago.

For me, this is just gonna take a little getting used to. My first reaction hearing her sing Idolm@ster (without anything to compare it to, before this video was up) was, honestly, that something was off. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just different, and I'm gonna have to adjust to her new voice.

Speaking, though, I think that's gonna be easy to do. She sounds quite like the original Yukiho, with some small differences. Chalk it up to...

... growing up...

Same here, something sounded a little flat. It was kind of alarming to realize that I...didn't want to really listen to it...and had to quit it out.

I've never really thought that song (unless it's remixed) is a good one for a single idol, though. I'm also not very familiar with Hase-Yukiho's version of it...
I'm chalking this up to just a first-time thing for the moment. I'm waiting for a better example, like Kosmos, Cosmos or something.

Asakura sounds very much like Yukiho speaking. I think the main difference in the singing is...Yurushii's Yukiho sounds kind of soft and breath-y while singing, and Asakura's isn't XD
Though, I've listened to Asakura's The iDOLM@STER enough to have adjusted to it already. ^^;

I associated it with...you know how Yukiho became an idol because she wanted to change? After a half a year in production, she's done so a bit.

10 seconds were enough to realize something...   there is a big difference(at least in THE IDOLM@STER song) between the singing  of Yurushii's Yukiho and Asakura's yukiho and is going to be difficult for me get used to that difference... and  Urby is right we need to wait for kosmos, Cosmos.

you got a point in that too,  if i can´t  get used to the new Voice  i will  have to think in that way

Nice. It makes sense that she wouldn't sound so breathy after gaining more self confidence

The best possible hypothesis, I approve.
