^as you arenew to her her music must be pretty fresh to you.
This is her fifth effort, I still love it as much and I dig song like sayonare very much - tough it would be ignorance to say that she had any artistic growth after to LOVE (which still is her best effort today). She tried out some new genres yes, which were fresh when they came firts (go for it, sakura i love you, distance) but she now has many rehashed tracks (we don't stop, suki etc). I don't mind her having these songs, as they are mostly her signature moves...but she should stop to play safe and become predictable (even her awsome b-sides, which are still mostly better than a.sides and album tracks, slowly become same sounding).
I could see a style shift, or even a concept album...then again, her voice doesn't offer much more that I could imagne her to pull a MIKA NAKASHIMA meets NANA or SUITE CHIC. Maybe I just need my montly breaks to then get a sudden intrest in her form time to time...but she is not on my top 5 list atm anymore. I don't even get excited about a new release...it is just kinda there and I listen to it
