Exactly. Most of Ayu's early career and what made her famous were not safe sounding, pedestrian, mid-tempo ballads. Duty, I Am, Rainbow, Loveappears....all of those albums are actually quite diverse. There was nothing safe about those albums IMO. So, I don't get how songs like Gift, Anything for You etc etc are a return to her roots.
