You are welcome.

Btw, have you heard the word, "kachouhuugetsu"?
ka = hana (flower)
chou = tori (bird)
huu = kaze (wind)
getsu = tsuki (moon)
This word has been used as a pronoun of natural beauty in Japan. There have been many many traditional poems and pictures whose theme was hana, tori, kaze and tsuki. And in this lyrics, it's quite obvious that she was inspired by this word. But, as far as I know, there has never been such lyrics as "hana no you ni ..." "tori no you ni ..." "kaze no you ni ..." "tsuki no you ni ..." in the songs of other singers. In other words, she followed Japanese tradition of beauty, but added new arrangement to it. Excellent lyrics.
