It sounds like a demo made in GarageBand in many ways. The mix is "good enough" but it's not perfect. And that's the gist of most of what Ayu has released recently - it's "good enough." But no better than that.

Both Sorrows and Last minute are examples of how little her team seem to pay attention to the arrangements and mixing of her albums now a days.
I totally agree about the unfinished and unpolished feel of her latest works. I'm not one to notice bad mixing that much, but on some of her newer works the poor mixing is so obvious that it's kinda impossible not to be bothered by it, like Last minute, Sorrows or nearly all LOVE again. I don't even dislike those, but the mixing do bother me anytime I listen...
What I want the most for her isn't a certain gender or type of songs, in that sense I just wish her to do whatever se truly feels like doing, but I really want the attention to detail she and her team used to have, with good mixing and arrangements that suit the feeling of the song (and an album that sounds overall cohesive is always welcome as well).
