I still appreciate her latest releases but it didn't have as much impact on me as her older ones. I didn't listen BON VOYAGE (it's probably her worst album for me) or WOML that much, they were pretty meh imo

Her voice tends to get nasal really easily and it seems in some of her newer songs she loses control of her voice and it really distracts me. I love DITR for example but everytime she screams RAAAAAAAAAAIN I get chills down my spine lol when she "talks-raps" she can get really nasal too (and she's being doing it a lot also in her latest songs).

I love her voice, specially her lower tones, falsettos and vibratos (unlike Ayu's which can bother me at specific times too). Songs like Kiseki, WALK OF MY LIFE and hands are masterpieces because she doesn't go off with her voice there. To me that's where she truly shines.
