10th Anniversary "To Be" and "Love~"

Maybe I'm just not paying attention, but I didn't see any discussion thread devoted to these two "new" songs on the Green single. I was interested to hear what others thought of them.

Personally, I think it's sometimes sad that Ayu simply cannot sing some of her old, classic songs the same way anymore. I actually find "To Be" a little hard to listen to--her vocals just do not fit the song anymore. There was a thread here discussing whether Ayu's vocals have worsened recently, and I do think this is the case, but I don't have any issue with her vocals in "Green" and "Days"...on the contrary, I quite like "Days". I just think "To Be" and "Love~Destiny" were designed for a voice that Ayu does not have anymore, and so I feel like I will never be able to hear her sing them again in a way that will wow me...it's make me a little bit sad, to be honest.

Thoughts???
