Ayu clearly improved vocally overall until the end of 2005, then slowly worsened and hit rock bottom around CDL0708(when her hearing on one ear completely vanished), but she is slowly but surely climbing back up. Her songs are getting harder again, her range is expanding(GREEN and Rule had notes in it she didn't sing since M!), she holds notes longer again, controls her vibrato better, some performances of CDL0910 were really good(momentum, You Were...), better than everything she did after Together When... at CDL0708(which was her last really good vocal performance and a big exception to the rest of that era).
You can actually even say her voice in some aspects began worsening in 2002, Duty is probably her hardest song so far, yes, Duty, might sound weird to some people, but it requires an impressive range for a pop singer at nearly 3 octaves WITHOUT headvoice and falsetto, fewest popsingers can do that, Ayu butchered the song trying to sing it again in CDL0405. However at that time(~98-01/02) she damaged her voice by trying to sing higher than what's natural for her which is usually inrepairable damage.
