And I think "how beautiful you are" is the genuine Ayu, the one that's present today, the one that outshines the extreme emotions throughout Party Queen.
Also I don't understand how people can say her music is bad/trashy/whatever, because Ayu has never not wrote what she was currently feeling. Saying that her music is bad is saying that her feelings and emotions are bad, and I could never do that. If you were having a bad day and told someone about it in the most expressive way you could, would you want someone to say, "Wow, that was pretty bad, the other times when you were really awesome was a lot better than this."
Ayu's music is what she wants to show us at this moment in time. There really isn't any other artist where you can watch their personality change and mature throughout the years. That's what I love about her.

Lyrics aside, I can see people saying that Party Queen is bad/trashy/whatever. The song PQ sounds like something from a gay club or something, and I personally find HBYA to just be Ayu trying too hard to be epic and touching and not genuine. Perhaps its Timmy's influence on the song and his way of over-doing things and making them kinda cheap, even if Ayu meant for it to be genuine. Plus, I don't think her lyrics are bad, when I say negative things about the songs, I'm talking strictly music, and since I don't know Japanese, that's all I really have to base my opinions of the song on. And really, everything about Ayu as a singer is subjective. People are allowed to dislike her music for whatever reason they see fit. No one can say "Her music is the best and the most touching" as a fact, just an opinion.
EDIT: Zeke. beat me to one of my points. I agree with the whole lyrics thing 100%.
