Yes I mean filler. Like a "let me not keep atleast 10 seconds of just instrumental in any song"
Yes it does work in some songs, like B&D, but in other songs, I feel like she could have left it out like in sparkle or Moments.

I've already told you what I think about it. I'm not going to change your mind.
It's not a question of whether or not I love it, but whether or not it works in the song. I feel it's necessary in Moments. Instead of using some other instrument to, as you say, "fill in the void" in the song, they use Ayu's voice as that instrument. I think any other instrument would sound incongruous, too heavy (an electric guitar, for example) or too light (like a flute) in something so midtempo. The voice strikes a good balance, especially since Moments is a song with the vocals as the centerpiece. The instrumentation in the song is really only a guide for Ayu's vocals, which determine the movement and texture here, unlike, say, Free & Easy, wherein it's the instrumentation that moves the song forward. Without Ayu's voice in those parts, Moments would just sound weaker. Ayu's voice adds texture, and if she had put lyrics instead of la la la, then that would really be filler. What else can be added to the words she's trying to convey? It's enough as it is.
