She has used a brass ensemble in her lives several times, I wish she would use one for album recordings. There are so many more instruments in this world than piano and strings. Not that I mind those, but it's nice to change it up here and there. According to comments, You are the only one uses a backpipe. This is nice addition.

Less self-awareness.

Now that she's married and it seems to be really working out, I think she feels much more comfortable being herself professionally too.

Ayu has got to be the only person on earth who makes better music when she's in a happy relationship XD
THIS SO MUCH!
Looking back now, I guess the Sunset/Sunrise cover disaster, her magazine photo shots at that time etc. might have also been influenced by her state of mind.
I think her current partner gives her a much more positive outlook on life, just like Nagase Tomoya did back in the day.
