wait.. Isn't Memorial Address about her father when he died? I read that here on AHS.

Here are the translated lyrics, courtesy of Anime Lyrics dot Com:

Spoiler:

I fell asleep that night, my heart full of unease
I remember dreaming a sad, sad dream
That morning, the telephone's ring broke the silence
My premonition had become real
Leaving the scars that will never disappear from my heart
You vanished alone to become a star

So this is goodbye - you've gone to a place where I'll never see you again
I still can't even accept the chill of parting forever
I wanted you to tell me, I didn't care if it was a lie
That you definitely loved me
Just once is all I ask

The sadness that probably will never end closes the curtain
The cold of the changing season penetrates my body like a knife, but

That was a summer day that I will never forget
The sky kept crying, because I couldn't
After all, it was so much like the dream I had
Even now, I still can't manage to let the tears out

So this is goodbye - even your final words cannot reach me
Making me feel how much parting forever hurts
I wanted you to tell me, I didn't care if it was a lie
That you never regretted the days we spent together
Just once is all I ask

Please tell me why, until the very end
All you left behind for me was memories

So this is goodbye - you've gone to a place where I'll never see you again
I still can't even accept the chill of parting forever
I wanted you to tell me, I didn't care if it was a lie
That you definitely loved me
Just once is all I ask

This is all a bad dream,
And I have yet to wake - please, tell me so

It's so sad. Now that I think about it, this song could also be about her grandmother.

But the explanation I've once read here is that she never knew her father (except for a faint memory) and that suddenly, after haven't seeing him for years, she got a phone call saying her father died.

But I don't know if that's true, and I guess no one will know. just what I've read.

[BTW, I thought End Roll in AT08 was so fake, I actually sighed and rolled my eyes, which I've never done before during her performances]
