Ayu kept alternating between a typical Ayu sounding album and an album where she tried something new for most of her career, and most of them were to some extent in touch with what global popstars were doing at the time.

NEXT LEVEL: Electropop like Britney and Gaga
Colours: EDM like pretty much everyone
A One: "personal" release nodding the artist own name like Shakira, Beyoncé, Britney, Madonna...
Made In Japan: album that feels more like a mixtape like Beyonce, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus...

We even start getting more ballads and mid-tempos from the overall pop music scene on the 2nd half of the decade and even Trouble isn't that far away from what the rest of older jpop actd are doing right now.

How well did her experiementation went is a matter of taste, but I can't see this disconection some people complains so much about.
