I can't find links with proof ATM, but I will look for them. But Ayu said frankly that she wrote the lyrics for "Memorial Address" after the passing of her grandmother.

The thing about Ayu's grandmother IIRC was when she was in the hospital and Ayu was recording poker face. After the recording session Ayu got a call saying that she had passed away. This was in the "Light and Shadow" interview that SuperTV did in 2004. You might be mixing it up with some other theories...?
Also, Ayu hadn't even conceived of Memorial address until she heard the original song. (Kumo / Spider by LOVER SOUND TRACK composed by Tetsuya Yukumi)
From the beatfreak for Memorial address:
Quote:
08 "Memorial address"
Music: Tetsuya Yukumi / Arrangement: tasuku
This is the title track, but also the bonus track, and the only one of the 8 tracks that was recorded in a band session. Originally I was going to record this song by myself in the studio, but during recording, there wasn't just me, the band and chorus were all around me. When I heard them playing I just wanted to sing, I think. Yo-chan's guitar, Enrique's bass, Shingo's piano. It calmed me down, the sound of all these people who've supported me. I think I really needed it. "Memorial address." In my mind, it's very special, and when I made it, it became important to me in the same way "teddy bear" (from "Duty") is.
