^it is predictible, A LOT. but i don't think it's because he's not creative anymore, i think it's becaue now he's just doing what he feels comfortable doing. Like he said he found a style he's comfortable with, in other words he found HIMSELF in terms of music style he was looking for, finally. He simply as i mentioned stopped with experimentations. It's not bad but even for me, i mean i am still a huge fan, and i like quite a few recent tracks but now his songs sound like every other j-rock song i have heard. When he was looking for his sound he used to put a lot of unusual things into his arrangements, like for example random spanish guitar part and that other "instrument" that spanish music likes a lot, in Lu:na or waltz rythm that reminds you of a circus in Illness Illusion, now it's usually just beautiful, dramatic orchestra-meets-rock stuff with some exception to some japanese traditional sounding songs. Same goes for his voice, he barelly uses falsetto now which also used to add a lot of originality and color into the tracks.

I mean it does get a little borring. but his music is doing quite good in charts even now, so i guess it just depends on people that are listening to him.
