No downhill for me either.
I think though that until around Memorial address ayu's music was really oriented with the help of her manager/producers (hence the need for ourselves) and that's where you would find her releasing a lot of different things both in singles and albums.
Since then she became more and more independent with each release and she also has changed, she got a bit more matured, she changed perspectives, she likes releasing summer/winter singles in order to make her fans and management happy (thus make her happy) and she mainly experiments with her albums tracks nowadays, NEXT LEVEL album is a good example, Rock'n'Roll Circus' Don't look back and especially Sexy little things which was kind of a "breakthrough" since how many artists make swing pop nowadays?
She still has brilliant songs, and still has emotional explosers (MOON was one for me) but they are different (I wouldn't say in quality) and ayu is different and her way of doing things is different. It's either you get along with it, you might lose her sometimes or keep on track regulary enjoying the great or less things she has to offer. ^^
