I think except her first 2 albums and some songs here and there her music is aging really well mainly because she didn't follow trends or almost never ! All songs that have followed the trends sound dated now (A song for xx (80's style), Loveppears (techno), Real me (r&b) for exemples ...). LOVEagain is pretty much an album filled with songs not released in the past like she said in an interview (for exemple gloria is from 2006 ) but the probleme is Yuta Nakano ... he is versatil but his arrangements for Ayu songs since several years are redundant ... Personnally I'm amazed by some of her older songs who still sound modern now ! She was ahead of her time it's quite a pity she has not succeeded to sustain this level but it's pretty common among all singers ^^
