The prhases in Real me are correct, they effectively communicate ideas, and they (from what I can tell) fit in properly with the theme of the song. MAN, I wish people would stop using this song's English as an example of her "awful English" since, accent aside, it's not bad English at all.
No, I KNOW It's proper english, but I was thinking about how many fans like the ambiguity of her lyrics and the "deepness" of them. Real Me english lyrics are NOT anything close to that. Another thing is that it's almost impossible to hear what she's actually singing.

I know that Real Me is just for fun, lke most of her girl power songs, and Real Me is one of my favourite songs of hers, but IF all her lyrics turned out anywhere near such lyrics.... >_< I fear it would loose a lot of appeal to at least her original fans outside japan.
