I don't understand why you're attacking the translations just because it's different from avex's? Which also, by the way, may not be 100% accurate too. Japanese to English translation is a lot of work. A LOT of work. The translators (masa, tenshi no hane, Misa-chan, several other people on Tumblr/YouTube/the Internet) put in a lot of effort to translate the songs for non-Japanese speakers to understand Ayu's really intricate and subliminal lyrics. It's really unfair if all you can say is that they cheapen Ayu's words. I'm not sure which is cheaper then lol, your words or theirs. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's wrong. It can vary from person to person depending on how they interpret the vocabulary as mentioned before. So maybe start being more appreciative, understand why things are such, instead of being irrationally critical.
