I don't mind Ayu doing "the same", I was always one who was happy with her churning out the copy & paste winter ballads. However, my argument has always been, if you're going to stick with the same style, you either need to do it JUST AS GOOD as you've done in the past, or excel over that. Which lately she has not succeeded in doing.

As relmy says, it retains some certain familiar Ayu style, but done so cheaply and entire flights of stairs behind what she has done in the past. I never wanted anything crazy from Ayu or wild, I just wanted her to continue doing what she was best at doing and maintaining the quality and professionalism within the material. If she were to continually release great rock songs or great winter ballads with a slightly different spin on the formula I would never complain again - the catch is, they need to continue being great.
