Re #3 I would really like to read this interview and certainly, I have never heard her say anything remotely kinky on any of her English interviews. She definitely has a quirky sense of humor, I can agree to that at least.

I would never call Devil Inside generic by 2004... Since 2006, yeap, but in 2004 nobody was releasing songs like that on the mainstream.
She never said anything kinky, but implied some stuff from times to times... And I didn't find the interview, what can mean I missunderstood something she said, but I found a forum thread about the Exodus era with a compilation of reviews:

Most of them are pretty good, some even praising her lyrics^^
There are a lot of Exodus interviews there too... That's why I'm questioning myself about the intention of being humorous, even if I still do get this feeling from her lyrics... nothing wrong about that IMO, 80s Madonna had a humourous aproach to a number of topics too, and a good part of those songs are pop classics today. It may be a interview done in the time Exodus was released on the UK (it was one year later +-? I remember she got new reviews and interviews back them)
I also don't agree that thinking Ayu's fandom lacks sense of humour makes me prententious or anything, but I do agree I can be pretty prententious a lot of times
