Vague much?
If you're looking at lyrics, you can find romaji online at places like Divine AYU.

it says that the writer does not want the lyrics to be published due to certain reasons. The words also appear in vogue sinbgle under "ever free".

May be because Ayu doesn't want to release the real meaning behind Memorial Address....

so what are the ones under EVERY song title in A Song for XX album? they look like some kind of 'writer's notes' and seem like hamasaki wrote them herself, i'm very curious what are they suppose to mean, i can only read the hiragana & katakana too, anyone knows?

The notes in the A Song for XX booklet were translated by masa. Go to his site or the Lyrics section of AHS to read them.

I believe that Memorial Address is about the death of her father and the words to Ever Free suggest this as well. I think that the subject of her father has and always will be a very difficult subject for her so perhaps that is why the lyrics for both Memorial Address and Ever Free have been omitted.

The complete lyrics to "Present" weren't printed either. In the "A Song for XX" booklet, it says: "Kono kyoku wa, seisakusha no ito ni yori, kashi no ichi bubun nomi wo hyouki shite orimasu."

It means "In accordance with the intentions of the creator, only one portion of the lyrics of this song are written."

Her most personal songs, maybe? ever free & Memorial address are both about people close to her dying (it's debated WHO they're about specifically although I read "ever free" is about her grandmother), and girlish & Present are both messages to fans. She probably wants people to take whatever meaning they want out of the lyrics; she wants them to be as personal to fans listening as they are to her. The singer Seal never included the lyrics in his albums for the same reason. He didn't want people to listen first, fall in love with a certain lyric, and then find out later that that wasn't what the song said at all.
