Are you sure it's kimerareta? You don't hear her sing rareta. More like naneta.

"Because I was taught by you on that day that everything happens necessarily, not casually"
This sentence doesn't make sense.

"the Rules"
Why "the" Rules? The Rules are never specified, so it should be without "the".
What I understand from that sentence is "I" was taught by "you" that every happens 'for a reason', and not 'without a reason'. I mean these are lyrics after all, it's going to be so boring if every line is just so direct!

And using 'the' kind of makes the 'rules' more specified. Like 'girls are so beautiful' and 'the girls are so beautiful' may mean the same thing, but the former is referring ALL girls, while the latter refers to this group of girls whom were mentioned before, or at least clear enough to be told which girls in the context.

What I guess from 'the rules' is that it's not just any rules. Obviously we can't break the rule of killing someone (okay that's a law but whatever), but we can break other rules... other more personal and complicated rules, like 'having a Blackberry is the rule to be cool now'. I think that's what Ayu was trying to sing about anyways.

So in this case, 'the rules' really appear to be quite necessary...
