She did do the Chinese MY ALL in January and a lot of people thought that sounded like a totally different person. Though honestly I thought it just sounded similar to her live voice lately more than ever. It was mixed badly however and also in another language so that could have contributed to sounding very different. I find Ayu usually sounds her best in the last 10~ years in acappella or acoustic settings. If there's too much loud BGM, she often resorts to singing but pushing herself to sing "louder" and then it just doesn't sound quite right.
To me, her voice is similar to what we are used to hearing from her here but occasionally has that almost out of breath sound to it. What seems to change it from year to year is that she sometimes has vocal coaches that help her but then she stops using them or the techniques she learned and on top of that she wears her voice out with a lot of bad habits for lots of lives in a row. Having a child seems to have changed her voice a bit as well if the MY ALL recording was any indication but I think that is a temporary change after pregnancy.
