Shinji, I'd just like to remind you no one was comparing her lyrics to Ringo's. Apart from the Honnou mention, which anyway wasn't "Ringo Japanese vs. Utada English" comparison, but an example of good lyrics with sexual content in Japanese.
Also, the fact that she's a pop/RnB singer doesn't make bad lyrics any better or more excusable. If anything, she could stand apart from the crowd with better lyrics.
"Pop" is short for "popular music", so you can call anything from her through Ringo to Nine Inch Nails pop in one way or another.

Neko, enjoy your birthday toast with Hikki XD

On a different note, I always found Hikari to be one of her more boring songs, musically at least... everyone seems to love it though.
