I think ayu needs to make Japan fall in love with the person she is now. Instead of Hiding behind her old hits. There're beautiful new songs that I will never see live because of this very reason.
I agree!!! I feel like I'm the only one who finds her new music (and current voice) to be better than her old songs. Nothing wrong with her old music, most of it is timeless but I feel like her new songs don't get as much love simply because they are different from her old ones.

And I LOVE her current voice, much more mature. I think her current voice has a lot to do with why I enjoy her ballads more, too. I know the GIFT isn't a favorite here, but I struggle to skip it when it comes up because I really love the way she sings it. Sweet scar is another great example, Shape of Love, Anything for you, You're the only one... I'm starting to think A BALLADS 2 wouldn't be a bad idea
