(oh dear i always write too much... well i have a love for accents and languages so this over analyzing is kinda something i tend to do! xD)
^hmm but i think it wouldn't make sense for ayu to be singing lyrics that are only a little different from the chorus behind her. especially if phonetically they still sound similar. production wise it doesn't make sense. and i think the cardinal sins immoral things lyrics make more sense with the concept of forgiveness. war and destruction, sins... people don't do things solely for those reasons. really they meant to do what they thought was good (all i wanted only is my love). haha or maybe i'm just a little influenced from the CASSHERN movie xD
i do have some doubts though. first with GUILTY...

GUILTY or NOT GUILTY is right, but i think the second part sounds more like "i do NOT FOLLOW" which is similar to her saying "let me tell a sweet lie" and "let me make an excuse"... it's as if someone is confronting her asking if she is or isn't guilty and she is just playing innocent and saying she doesn't even know what they're talking about.
and especially with Ladies Night!

like people have said those are the official lyrics from SWEETBOX's version, but i really don't hear that in ayu's song. especially since ayu rewrote her lyrics for the songs she took from them. i'm thinking ayu got the song and because "danger, need to" probably came with the instrumental, she had to write something that had breaks for danger and need to, sounded similar, all while still making sense with her new lyrics. after trying to isolate the vocals more in my music program, i think it's more like...

Teach' em wisdom! can't replace him? (danger!)
Hate him? Then even so...
You don't ever (need to) think you can't leave him (me too)

so when you think of the lyrics, Jade's version is more about teaching your boyfriend a lesson while ayu's is more about the support girlfriends can give to their friends in waning relationships. that's why i think she's not telling her friend to "leave him, lose him, cut, replace him" but maybe she's informing other women to do what she's doing for her friend. if they think they can't leave their boyfriends then that's the warning that you need to tell them otherwise! plus do people really hear erase him? in ayu's version the even SO is SO clear!
oh and that last part of "me too" is also what i think i hear in Sweetbox's version. the second time where it could be need to again, i don't really hear the "d" to "t" transition when singing neeD To... similar to the breaks in japanese syllables work (like in "Kore tte" and "Chotto"). also cuz the first it definitely sounds like an "n" but you can hear the prep for "m" on the second one. it's the short closing of the mouth that you hear while getting ready for an "mmm" sound as opposed to leaving your lips open for a "nn" sound.
lastly, people have said that it's possibly she just took Jade's vocals during that part since it is definitely Jade speaking that part in the SWEETBOX version, but you can really hear the difference between the versions. Jade recorded each the words seperately "leave him" "lose him" "cut" "replace him" while ayu's version you can hear the breathing after each phrase. also, ayu's version you can hear whoever is saying that part has an accent (possibly Japanese?) while Jade definitely has an American accent =P
so yeah those really are the only ones two i felt that are different than what's posted
again sorry for making this so long... congratulations if you read it all ^^;;
