Okay I see where you guys are coming from, but I think this is overreacting here. That they're not very deep lyrics doesn't mean the song's a travesty, or the song is disappointing, or the lyrics are crappy.
By the way, I don't think the lyrics are that bad at all, for what she was trying to portray with them I think they're pretty good. Maybe the thing she was trying to portray in itself doesn't do it for many of you, but that's another story.
I used to not get this lyrics (I can't see how I managed that anymore now but blah), but I've been told (and have come to agree) that the "Japanesey" is what this guy she liked called her to his friends, obviously - and "she's got a new microphone" is what she imagines he says to his friends in defense to this very song, because he's afraid they'll laugh at him because she tells him how it is with him, and he wants to make sure she's looked at as ridiculous instead of him, thus in a "oh, she's got a new microphone, bravo" kind of way :)
Yes, it's trivial and silly, but I think it's clever at the same time.
I also like how she calls what he did to her in general 'putting more pressure on her' (singular quotation marks since it's no literal quote), which is "quite unneeded" :P
