Of course they're going to sound the same! For the last 4 years we've only gotten 2 singles a year (except for last year we got 3) and 2 singles per album. Except for Rule/Sparkle and Mirrorcle World, pretty much all of them have been winter ballads or an uptempo summer single.
And let's be real, everyone mainly focuses on the songs that are singles and they're the ones that will most likely make it onto our playlists and the ones that standout in our minds. So if you're getting fairyland then BLUE BIRD thenglitter then Sunrise it's kind of overwhelming. Same with winter songs if you're getting Together When... and GREEN,Days,You were... and BALLAD it gets boring and repetitive. And because the singles end up going #1 anyways, it's kind obvious that avex is just capitalizing on past years success hence the repetitiveness in releases.
And maybe if we got a midtempo spring single (Moments) or a autum rock song (talkin' 2 myself) the complainers wouldn't be bored with her music and griping about how her current music sounds the same.
That's just my 2 cents on the issue.

I didn't consider what you bring up before I wrote my post either. But I do think you've got a strong point. I wondered why the hell Ayu only did two singles per album nowadays, but I think it would be smarter for her to do 3 or 4 like she used to. Maybe that would give people more incentive to get out and buy her music? They wouldn't feel it's a risk to spend their money on an album made up of 11 out of 15 songs that they have never heard and wouldn't know whether they liked them?
