Actually its pretty blatant in the lyrics.

And you make some good points Andrenekoi. Still though, the Sparkle direction, isn't really my favorite thing that Ayu has done. I think she has gotten across the same message before in much better and not quite so blatant ways.

I especially don't like the first verse and specifically the last line where she says the girls are letting their strength take a rest while seemingly going to a club to dance with guys. Shouldn't it be the opposite if she really wants to preach girl power? ie, the girls should be strong, not putting their strength aside. <--That's always been the message she has had in the past, but not so this time.
