I feel like the ayu of now doesn't relate to the lyrics as much as she did back then. They would sound insincere, as people said. She performs the songs live yes, but when there's the energy of the crowd and the adrenaline is pumping it all comes together.
Back then ayu focused on the loneliness and confusion and isolation she was feeling, her recent lyrics show she's more at home with herself now and more content. I would rather see ayu produce like a 'reply' to A Song for XX, like a "if you could talk to yourself back then, what would you say" type thing.

THANK YOU! I was trying to word my thoughts but couldn't figure it out... But your post got it on-point! I feel like "A Song for XX" belongs in the past. She can still sing songs here and there live, but an entire rearrangement album just doesn't seem like something Ayu would wanna do. Considering she doesn't like "poker face" and she just simply doesn't relate as much to the lyrics as she used to.
Granted, the Depend on you (10th anniversary version) was flawless.
