Yuriko Kaida's solo career

I'm hoping for at least one new song written specifically for Yuriko this year.

I've felt, and others have definitely commented, that her presence in the live mixes has become more prominent, so I want to believe part of that has been a bit of subconscious priming for the fans towards that very end (as well as generally refining the total mix for the current roster of vocalists).

My question is: what kind of song do we think would best suited for current Yuriko's voice to shine?

Genre (anisong, world music, etc.); tempo (slow, mid-tempo, fast); vocal arrangement (solo vocal showcase like a "Gaia,"hepatica" I meant to say? strong harmony support? just a duet partner?); to Kajiurago or not to Kajiurago; instrumentation (keys only? band only? heavy strings? flute)???

I've been thinking about this while watching Kanagawa (again I know) and hearing Yuriko's high lead on the Historia theme (and Joelle doing harmony with her, giving me some duet vibes)...

I also ask this considering LINOLEIA's "lighthouse" and the type of composition / arrangement she had, which seems to be quite positive for her vocal.

Definitely ballads, we still havent got any live version of Gensou Rakuten from noir https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmQvRIyz4AI

Upbeat songs, huh?

I think another additional thing to consider would be the charisma/ stage presence to lead the song powerfully on stage during a live, while having all the attention be on you ...

We all know she's got the vocals to deliver different types of songs to a high quality, but I still see her quirkiness and seeming shyness sometimes as not lending her naturally to lead an energetic song, or one needing her to call on the audience or charge up the atmosphere.

Maybe a simple, emotionally-charged acoustic ballad would be best for her. For example, I am not sure I would see her deliver the L.O.R.D.s theme for example, in terms of the dramatics on stage, I mean, even though she's fully capable of the vocals
