My grasp of Japanese is far from perfect, but even I can tell that she is speaking in a very slangy and kind of "dirty" way here and that is just something that fans are not used to from her at all. It doesn't mean that it is wrong, I just personally think that style doesn't suit Ayu.

The lyrics make me feel disconnected from the song. ayu feels disconnected from the song. The overall messege isn't bad, but it seems that the more women encouragement songs she writes, the more she seems to be not included in them. It even shows in the titles. "Real me" and "my name's WOMEN" are about women in general and her as an individual at the same time. While I still feel ayu in "Ladies Night" and "Beautiful Fighters" it's difficult for me to find her in "Sparkle", though certain thoughts were already voiced in other songs (for example, "Catcher In The Light").
