Her concerts are no proof. She uses a Japanese accent because she's talking to a JAPANESE crowd.
If most Japanese know ENGLISH, why wouldn't Japan's most famous/best selling artist not know english?!
Anyways...It says all the time - Ayu writes her own lyrics.
Verdict: then who the hell wrote Real Me?
Ayu maybe? Hm...let me think about it.
EDIT:..........errm..I seem to be in a mood today, scuse me.
Anyways, there's your point.

English is a required part of Japanese people's primary education, but that sure doesn't mean most Japanese can speak English. Think of it this way: people are required to take a second language in America, but does anyone really remember how to speak it once they leave school? No, not unless they keep up with the practice.
As an American studying abroad in Japan, let me assure you that you cannot trust in the English skills of Japanese people just because they were required to learn it at one point in their lives.
