If Ayu wrote about as much things as possible, I think she would not be as great and wise a lyricist as she is. She'd end up like Hikki, who writes about a lot of interesting things, but what she's saying isn't really all that profound.

But the latest ayu lyrics have clearly been lacking in really *profound* poetry if that's what you mean...GREEEN sounded a slightly better, but after seeing the PV I actually think it became more special, because I noticed this time she didn't got stuck in the same kind of love she's often talking about in her lyrics. It's all about joining wings and following roads, or departures and all the same recycled stuff. I personally don't see that much of an improvement tbh. I don't mind her lyrics that much, but she can talk about something else for a change, or she can do like what I meant, talk about love, but talk about *different* kinds and ways of loving...not just "love is the half~half to join together by following a certain road" stuff. In the beginning, ayu seemed to touch people with her lyrics more, because she talked about insecurity and other things that many people could relate to.
And since you mention Hikki, I wonder why Hikki has been so popular lately in Japan. Maybe it's because she actually does what you just mentioned, and try different things that appeal to different audiences?
