Ayu does sing better in songs like Talkin' 2 Myself, Decision and even A Song for XX (in a lower key) though.
I remember in an interview about Ayu's album, Secret, Ayu said that while she recorded until that Day... or Startin' (I think it was Startin') she started singing in a different way, and she discovered a new way of singing that she never knew her vocals could achieve? Like, it became more powerful all of a sudden and she didn't know she could do that. I think during Talkin' 2 Myself and so, she was trying to continue using those vocals too? Maybe that's why her vocals "changed", because her way of singing changed. (But so did her voice, in a few ways.)

Very true like independence. For CDL07-08, the lines in the chorus were cut off too abruptly. That particular performance of JEWEL was excellent. I watched the kuohaku one before that and i thought it was a song ayu just couldn't pull off than i watched the christmas live. One of those precious few moments she actually gets it right.
For Startin', it seemed that the song needed to be recorded in a different way which she found a challenge but i always felt she excelled in that song. She's good with BLUE BIRD too. Funny thing is, i feel she does better in songs that are hard to sing in tune like inspire and CAROLS but songs which i expected to be relatively easy enough she goes off.
