Wicked emotional, hell yea.

Hmm I just noticed, really, what a love song HEAVEN is.
If I'm not wrong, I remember reading somewhere that songs like "Teddy Bear", "No Way To Say", and "Memorial Address" are actually about her father, when he suddenly left home forever one morning when Ayu was only 2 years old; and that has left a scar on Ayu's soul ever since, which has also affected her relationships with men in general, I think; and also, Ayu was brought up, until her early teens when she moved to Tokyo, in an all-female environment at home, i.e. she, her mother, and her grandmother, and it was her grandmother who did most of her upbringing since her mother had to work full-time, which is probably why she seems to have a unique maturity of character that's reflected in her songwriting, as well as in her behaviour toward others.
