That is ALWAYS what she's been best at. When she doesn't make the darker aspects of a happy song clear enough, the song suffers, and she's been doing that way too much over the last few years. And when she goes 100% sad, a song sounds too melodramatic. It lacks the facets needed to be relatable and truly beautiful.

I'm REALLY hoping the Zutto... single is a sign that she's starting to figure out what she's good at, because it was definitely a few huge steps in the right direction. I'm hoping this next song is a minor-key rock/dance sort of track like Startin' or Rule or STEP you or something... but mostly I hope the next album is full of the multifaceted light-and-dark-mix tracks that ayu is best at.

This pretty much explains what I think as well.
