^ oh hey guys sorry to butt in to your convo, but are most of her songs considered otomegokoro? because sometimes, I find her songs somewhat masculine, not in the "love me I'm a girl" but kind of "I'll protect you". and she uses boku which i know doesn't mean much but it gives a boyish feeling... I LOVE IT. she is my girl crush

Nowdays, the use of "boku" by a girl meens nothing. I mean except some most of the girls I know use "boku" and not "atashi" or "watashi". Maybe since the late 90's it's like this.
But in the case of the use of "atashi" it gives a more "fragile" feeling.
Anyway the use of "boku" doesn't give a masculine form to Ayu's lyrics but a stronger feeling.

I haven't really asked but Greatful days, July 1st and Blue Bird seems to be quiet popular. But I can't assure it ^^'

Yeah so exactly what I mean. I already know it doesn't mean much if a girl uses boku nowadays but it does in fact remind me of male speech. Also, although I believe you when you say most J girls you know use "boku", of all the J girls I've met and befriended, atashi and watashi have been most common, atashi being used exclusively in informal situations. Perhaps they prefer a more feminine tone to their speech?

Aha ^^'' Sorry for the grammar error ! I've just edited it.
I don't really know what J poeple would prefere about Ayu. Well.... if she uses "ore" it would be relly strange and not appreciated I think xD
Anyway I think there's no problem about the "masculine / feminine" tone of Ayu's lyrics. Only about some words that doesn't reflect the whole single (cover/PV/tune) (and afterwards Ayu's age.. ).
