So I decided that since the PV was uploaded to her YT channel, I might as well listen to this one song before I get the album in my hands and wow... that PV was very heartwarming. Simple, and definitely not flawless, but quite amazing still and I think I wouldn't have liked the song quite as much without it.
While I agree that her voice sounds weirdly different in the song, I don't agree that it's bad, hearing how it melded into the ballad to make it sound much less generic. In my opinion, one thing that makes many ballads sound generic is the fact that they "spill over" with emotions to such a point that the emotions start feeling overbearing rather than significant, but "The GIFT" definitely didn't suffer as much from that fate (once again, in my opinion). Ayu's vocals helped a lot a with that, and I'm feeling very optimistic about the sound of the rest of the album songs, including the ballads. As if I wasn't excited and anxious enough after reading people laud several songs already!
