What you're talking about emphasis on the 2 and 4 is a form of syncopation, which does give music the need to move forward. Emphasis on 1 and 3 is because of either durational, or interonset durational accents. Love song is clearly not influenced by rhythm and blues music, as far as I can try to put them together. Maybe Ayu didn't want the sense of thwarted beats in her song.
I would tend to correlate the stateliness of the drum beats to the sections of the lyrics Ayu poses multiple questions. If one wanted someone to clearly hear their question, would they simply rush through the speech of it?

I can see what you mean, it still bugs me, but I think I sorta get why she had it done that way. Doesn't necessarily mean I like it though. maybe the poor quality has overemphasized it though, and on the actual HQ file it'll sound better blended and less glaring.
