While we can hear her normal or almost normal voice from time to time, there's too much baby voice going on, especially when she ends the words with vibrato. Ironically it makes her sound not younger, but like grandma.

It's a very safe song and it absolutely has that classic Ayu sound. While I can say it's more of the same, it's a good kind of same.
