Also maybe it has something to do with the fact that auto-tune isn't always used because it's needed, but rather because it fits the damn genre of the music she's doing, which is totally different from the music Airi is doing so people need to hush :king:

 

In the end...which one is the soloist? ;)

 

She looks absolutely fantastic...I love the sound of the music, and it suits her voice so well.

 

SO EXCITED :D My queen is finally back, and this time she actually gets to be heard.

^True. Just look how successful Perfume has become with their auto-tuned songs.

Also, Erika has proven she can sing with a powerful voice. Do Don Ga Don Ondo is still a favourite of mine.

Lol I don't know why it had to get so catty in here. Reminds me of high school.

Anyway. I'm digging her sound. It's funny that Perfume was mentioned because that's kind of what it reminds me of. I'm excited to hear her solo songs. I didn't get really into H!P until after Erika had left unfortunately, but I've always thought she was gorgeous with a cute voice so it'll be nice to have her in an environment where she can show off both! I hope the album is easily accessible so I can buy it and support her.

Oh didn't even know she will release an album on her own. She was never a big singer and Autotune is helping much for bad singers.
Anyone can be a soloist if they can hold up with it. I wish her good luck but i have doubts that she will be that successful.

Erika is the member cared about most in C-ute, even though they're "better" without her, they still don't interest me.

So happy seeing how nice the CM looks~

hmm.  I never considered her a "bad" singer.  I've seen her carry a tune or two- most notably the "Do Don Ga Don Ondo" linked above.  I admit that I always looked forward to that song.  This is not because I was particularly an Erika wota, but because the song was always a great performance.

 

But seriously.  We need to stop with this "autotune=horrible singer" mentality.  It's not always true.  There are some horrible singers out there who undoubtedly use autotune to mask their deficiencies.  I don't think Umeda Erika is one of those.

I will forever be an Erika wota :wub: I'm so excited that she's back!

 

That song in the CM reminds me of AKB's Mosh & Drive! I love it :3 

 

Erika was never the best vocalist in C-ute, but I still think she was vocally decent. She sounded especially great in the earlier music, like Massara and Endless Love. She didn't get many notable solos after their first couple years, besides her solo. But that solo demonstrated what she could do, and I LOVED it!

 

I wish her as much luck as possible! Especially with her teeth ^^; Not sure what's going on there...it couldn't be a smoking stain, because that takes YEARS of smoking to really cause.

Since Erika is a former member of  °C-ute, i also admired her, I really love when she sang Wasuretakunai Natsu during her graduation. I always cry  when i watched that concert, And i also love the part when she sang in Otome Cocoro even though she has a very few line but for me her voice is so cute in that part, I just want to greet all the Erika Umeda fans a very special Happy New Year, Wish you all happiness, good luck and good health

OMG I can't believe this is happening, I'm glad she's back to music ^_^ I think this has to do with C-ute being more popular nowadays, wish her the best with her debut album!

I never thought Erika would be back into singing! She was my favourite from C-ute when I first discovered them, so this is awesome :) I always thought she had a nice voice. It wasn't the strongest, but it just sounded nice. It's kind of a shame that Crush on You! doesn't really showcase much of her unedited voice, but I'm sure at least one of the other songs will.
