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.

Utada hasn't recorded nearly as much as Ayumi has. Ayumi also hasn't taken a hiatus, let alone two. Of course Ayumi might be in a dry spell lyrically speaking, but that doesn't mean she's a horrible lyricist.
I say this as an Utada fan, but you're really reaching for some of these comparisons. Utada has her fair share of love songs, and there's nothing wrong with that.
