| | Ungrammatical Japanese again... 
Single words, put together, made into a "text"...
beautiful
thank you, everything (wrong order in Japanese, no connecting word)
you me cute (no verb)
(I?) love (verb, present progressive tense) (you?), always
kiss(es?) no singular/plural forms in Japanese)
No, it's not poetic, it's just very very bad Japanese...  |

| | Well, well...
Does it look like an auto translation? The source text? |

| | Could have been. It's that bad...
However,it was probably simply written by a non-native speaker, because I think if it had been translated with an automatic translator, it would have been produced in the real Japanese writing system, like this:
美ã—ã„
ã©ã†ã‚‚有り難ã†ã€å…¨ã¦
...(etc.)...
Elementary, my dear Watson...  |

| | Haha, how couldn't I notice that Mr Sherlock?  Maybe the message field is too far from the source text.
It might be a literal translation taken from the dictionary. Words with no connection.
I didn't know that japanese doesn't have sing/plural forms.
This case resembles the latter! But it isn't requested by the same person. What should we do?
Although, the only part we cannot decipher is: "You Me Cute".
According to æ± æ³‰ ã†ã’ん㘠utsukusshii and kawaii means almost the same, but the first looks more flattering.

| | It might be
Anata wa watashi ni totte kawaii
which would mean
You are cute to me
i.e.
I find you cute
---
Yes.
In modern people's conversation they are sometimes interchangeable, but strictly speaking
utsukushii = beautiful
kawaii = cute
Utsukushii/Beautiful has an elegance, a stunning quality: you stand in awe and admiration...
Cute/kawaii is small or short and I want to reach out and touch it or hold it...
Examples:
Sunsets can be utsukushii but not kawaii, puppies can be kawaii but not utsukushii.
I haven't figured out which one your new picture is yet...  |

| | Yeah I sort of got it!
"Beauty(iful)" <- is it good?
Thank you (for) everything
You're cute to me
Love you, always
Kiss(es)
Thank yoooou! |

| | Sounds good!
PS: I saw your YouTube Video, by the way: your English is AMAZING! I'd have thought you lived in the USA, not Brazil! 
And with your gorgeous smile, you're going to get a lot of wedding proposals! |

| | You could hear me? It was so noisy.
Ooh, compliments about my English speaking... Thank you, I guess only the grammar was terrible.
Beijos. |
