She really needs to embrace the more adult sound, seeing as how that's where her voice is naturally going. Songs like Beautiful fighters need to just stop, really. She can do the pop songs like Startin' and STEP you that are harder, darker, rockier pop, since they're darker & lower sounding anyway. But the sunny stuff just isn't working for her anymore. And she needs her ballads to sound more like JEWEL, criminal, and other "dark" ballads like that... poppy ones like CAROLS just won't work for her anymore, not nearly as well as they used to anyway.
Aww, but I like HONEY the way it is. And Greatful days was just.. great. Yes, she can try to accept her maturity and sing like the adult she is, but it will certainly make alot of songs less enjoyable. These songs are created to be cute and fluffy and kiddish, and ayu should still have the chance to embrace that side of herself. She's still young, let her do her cute stuff
