i think this site by masa is really helpful.

She's said before that she writes about whatever she wants... personal experiences, stories about friends, her own thoughts on things, etc.

Thanks for the link, it was interesting to read :)

That article that was linked up there is pretty old. More recently, this may have changed. And Ayumi doesn't always write about personal experiences. I'm pretty certain that Max Matsuura has had some influence in what she writes about (like giving her a few ideas)

Read read somewhere that her lyrics is basically from her own personal experiences and sometimes, about her friends experiences too. I think it can also depend on the season, because she often releases a summer single. And also, it can depend on the things she endorses. Example, "Born to be..." which is an empowering song which goes with the Olympics.

I remember reading that she also reads alot of books and watches alot of movies ^.^

she said somewhere that when she is down she writes about something dark

Like in the On My Way booklet?

Well, if you watch the 'Ayumi Hamasaki: Face on Every Billboard~' then you'll sort of see how she comes up with the lyrics~ [it's in english!]

~_~ Well, not really. But she talks! XD

edit: But mostly, in the beginning her lyrics came from her feelings deep inside..

But now that she's older, I wonder what her inspiration is... probably her friends' problems and some of her own. Like how INSPIRE was to thank the fans for their <3 during the whole avex conflict when Ayu left Avex for a few days x.x

Yeah, these last few years, it's been Spring single, Summer Single, SOMETIMES Autumn Single, and Winter Album.

And I als o agree on the endorser. The two BAKE commercials were excellent.
