I also have to say that I'm not feeling her present era.
Since My Place it's kind of like she changed to a monotone style that is different than the toLOVE/Thank you, My Love era which was my favorite, and it's the "country", normal unoriginal pop and ballads that are written mainly for the female fans. Dear Bride and some other random songs like I wanna see you dance and HOLIDAY are still nice, but lyrically to songs like Dear bride, or most of her songs I lyrically cannot relate to since I'm a guy. I don't mind feminist/girl power songs or rarely releasing a song meant for girls but I can't relate to the kana which 99% of the time write for girls (even though I'll be there is my favorite kana song and it's between girl friends lol that song is just amazing though). I could relate to her love songs like motto..., aitakute and others, but now that most of her songs are talking about womenhood, or are just jumpy normal pop songs, and almost lost all the sound of the older kana, she kinda lost me. I have all of her original albums until now, even Just LOVE, but I'm not sure if I will buy the next one.
Her voice is still awesome but voice alone is not enough to keep me interested.
