Ayu is awaying singing about self-doubt, doubt, female power, fame, love, etc. And she is ways using circus, military, religion, china, america, deserts and snow as visual themes...

The same way, Madonna for example is aways singing about religion, politic, love, sex, society, etc. and using military, religion, sex, japan, america, mid-east, etc. as visual themes.

Ayu's case seens worst cause she releases an album and a tour every year, so we see she re-using her themes a lot more than most artists...
Good point but I like how fans are beginning to say that she is not recycling lyrics, but instead that her lyrics serve a purpose. In some case they (lyrics) are probably meant to complete a song, Talkin 2 Myself and Decision or in other cases the connection is up for interperation, I read one review of My Story and the critic commentated on HOPE or PAIN and Happy Ending as one song completeing the other (which makes sense why they would sound the same and the idea is nice because both songs have very abrupt ending). Also I do think that Ayu has been attempting to "bring home a few ideas", lack of better words. So yeah I agree with your statement. And your last statement is very logical, at least I think.
