Well, you can screw off in your own right too. Since 2006, any Utada track has been significantly better written than almost anything Ayumi has put on a record since Secret. You can't discount Utada's Japanese works for what she did on a very experimental English record. Ayu's talent as a songwriter has gotten worse, whereas Utada has significantly improved.

And to hammer this point home: How many of Utada's songs since ULTRA BLUE have been about love or relationships or breakups? ...Now, how many of Ayumi's songs since Secret have been about love, relationships, breakups, missing someone? My point is that Utada is not only a better songwriter today, but she's also a more diverse songwriter.
