I eat sleep and breathe Yuki
Seems like she was getting minimal effort in the compositon and MV department, from watching and listening to these videos. I do like the first song and prefer the video.
Maybe Highway Star management didn't see her as a high-value, or sufficiently unique, artist to invest properly into her career.
It's just an opinion, but I don't think the cute, bubblegum aesthetic in these videos (especially the latter too, matching the songs) is really rito's personal style (or not what I would have her do). When she's given meaty songs and melodies to sing (like Kajiura gave her with some of those covers), that have a melancholic/mysterious side, especially when they take advantage of her full range - belting, low notes, etc. - she seems to really shine.
She's not a Shuri or a ASCA or a ReoNa in terms of stage activity and energetic audience engagement. She's more of a slow burn, moody vocalist who can also sing bright and youthful - so not sad. We can see this in the fact that Kajiura didn't give her fast-paced songs to sing, instead opting to give those to LINO LEIA...
This is a lady who likes Harry Potter and has a slightly dark/mystery aesthetic in general. I think her music should reflect that somewhat, and we haven't seen her final vocal expression.

I think my favourite overall performance of rito's with Yuki Kajiura is "Senya ichiya" (supported by Yuriko & Joelle, of course).
