Ok so as part of my self-studying music theory, I decided this is a question I should finally ask.

So I know she uses a slow version of the verse as a bridge alot

But I'm specifically interested in the vocal melodies. Why do so many of them sound so similar in style to Astor Piazolla, Aznavour, lots of old italian and spanish songs, lots of enka songs, maybe some old soul or blues too? Its not just about instruments, the accordian in Bonsai Hada and Ringo no uta don't sound much like Astor Piazolla's accordian at all, her voice sounds like his accordian. The melodies don't sound the same either....thats not what I'm saying. Is it a particular key? A particular pattern?_

Not all of her songs sound exactly the same style but almost all of her songs that are not in a major key have something distinctly similar and I'm dying to know what it is and I finally know enough about music theory to maybe kind of sort of understand it....maybe. Help me out.

This is also something I've noticed about the songs I write and songs I wrote way before I ever listened to Ringo or any Italian or Spanish music.
