I think our last carefree-as-we-know-it-from-Ayu album track was MY ALL. And before that, Beautiful Day. I guess you could potentially lump Thank U in there too but recently she's got a lack of them, or if she does them, they have a bit of "fierceness" to them or lack the raw feel that we used to get from those kinds of tracks. Typically, the songs were characterized by also utilizing her actual concert backing band and had some "unplugged" moments in them, neither of which we really get anymore. I believe she still tries to sneak one per album, but they're not the same as the usual album closers she has other than maybe NOW & 4EVA.

I do wonder if the lack of such tracks is because she doesn't really put compositions of her own on albums anymore since she seemed to always do them on her own or with DAI when they appeared up till MY STORY.

Humming for me requires a certain mood. When I love it, I love it. When I'm not into it, I don't want to be near it, lol.
