This was a big issue for her during her debut era and the years following it...whether or not writing dark songs means she's filled with a lot of despair and depression etc. It was also to disabuse people of the whole notion that sad = bad. TIME interview stated that no one can take her songs away from her, indicating that her lyrics are hers alone. They most definitely look at her lyrics but I don't think they can do much with regards to censoring; she has her own way of writing that's made her so successful at connecting with her fans. It is because she takes pride in writing her own original lyrics that I think there would be a HUGE problem if avex encroaches on this one thing she holds the dearest even if she has nothing else. They wouldn't be that controlling because I know she'd leave and we have to remember that her closest avex ally is none other than the CEO of avex who discovered her and suggested she write her songs in the first place. The stuff she puts out more or less concerns her own private experiences/life and something like that would affect her own publicity only, not avex's image or reputation. Provided the lyrics we've seen weren't already "changed", I don't see any reason why they'd have her change anything because in no way is it directly detrimental to her label.
