The melody also has gotten to me... My friend and I argued about lyrics and their importance. He said he needs them, I said I don't. Whenever I listen to Japanese music, half the time I will never know the lyrics unless I look them up or I listen VERY carefully. Most of the time, I don't even care. Therefore, lyrics have no huge meaning for me (except as stated before). It's my fault for looking up the lyrics to this song. Upon seeing the translation and that awful verse, I just couldn't. Lyrics are also extra to me (except in extreme cases like HEAVEN and HANABI). Even the song feel the beat by Ami Suzuki is alright. She repeats the same line over and over like its out of style but its alright with me. All I can do now is huff and cling to Memorial Address like there's no tomorrow.
As for ASFXX, I'm not a big fan because Ayu just sounds like a dying shrew/hyena/cow/insert random animal here. 1.4 million people bought it anyway XD. I may... one day. I would rather buy a new copy, if anything. There are better sounding debut albums. But I know for a fact that they made the fact that Ayu wrote the lyrics a big deal. Many Japanese people still love A Song for XX (song) because it's so relatable. (personally, I listen to the A BALLADS version. the arrangement and Ayu's voice are tolerable). I only like the song Poker Face, but I've moved on from that song since I've discovered her entire discography.

So because you feel that you & me has awful lyrics you can't listen to it? But I understand the rest of what you're saying. I love ayus lyrics. These aren't the best. I love lyrics in general though and you don't. I think many other artists have good lyrics.
In regards to ASFXX I don't mind the voice as I've always found ayu's voice a bit strange and more difficult to listen to. Especially from ASFXX to I am... (For me)....it's funny though. Poker face is one of the ones that I don't care for as much lol. I love the A BALLADS version of ASFXX
but this is more ot lol sorry

I don't have problems with you & me's lyrics though I undrstand people's issues with their simplicity I guess.
