I actually don't *prefer* either the early era or the recent era in terms of Ayu's voice, because I find that the songs lose their charm if she hadn't sung it that way during that time. It's just a kinda reminiscent of that particular time when Ayu sounded like that.
In chronological order, I love Poker Face, but I also love say, Trauma, and then SURREAL, Evolution, and then Free & Easy, Moments, STEP you, B&D, Startin', T2M, MW. =D It's all goooood.
However, I actually don't really like the 'Honey' voice. Especially in Honey, I just thought it sounded a little false. Winding road, Moments, my name's WOMEN, Humming 7/4 from MY STORY are all awesome ofc, but just not Honey... Nothing like the cut-edge raw voice from say End roll or ASFXX on A BEST, or the fire from T2M and MW.
Overall, ofc Ayu's voice has changed, but that's cos' that's what time does to you, and Ayu worked on how she sung, a lot. I think evidently, Ayu's voice from Depend on you and her singing from Boys & Girls would already differ. She does work on her vocals a lot. XD
