If it says "for my honey" in the booklet of the album we'll know for sure.

Oh yes, forgot to say, "taisetsu na takaramono" -> "my precious treasure," made me go wahhhhhh omg repeated lyrics from RAINBOW! Wooooo. When stuff is repeated,
1. uninspirational writer
2. extra significance

And we all know surely #2 is the case... In RAINBOW, this phrase referred to a part of herself, yes? But here...seems much more external. I hope that people won't bash her for reusing this phrase verbatim because it can be a very powerful literary tool that can be used to draw comparisons and link things together very poignantly. Maybe this phrase has a special significance to her...probably does. Maybe it's something between her and her honey...

There is something we must remember about RAINBOW lyrics.
Is that Avex publish the song in the internet without the lyrics, so the people who had buy the disc could download it. They call the fans to write their own lyrics for RAINBOW and sent it to them, so they choose the best ones and compose the lyrics with them. This was posted a long time ago, I think.

So Ayu isn't repeat the same words, because she didn't wrote RAINBOW by herself, gotcha? ^^U

The RAINBOW version that was released online together with the RAINBOW album didn't have any lyrics by what I know, it was just an instrumental/beta version I think.

The song came in it's full version on A BALLADS.

very pretty, a lot more descriptive/poetic than most of her lyrics

I believe it's been established that the notes that fans sent in served as inspiration for Ayu. I think that when it says lyrics written by Ayumi Hamasaki, it means wholly written by her. My impression of her character is that she really cares about expressing herself, and that she would not take someone else's lyrics verbatim. In other words, the lyrics to RAINBOW are still her lyrics; it just happened that in this case, she invited her fans to be a more direct source of inspiration.

Thx for the translation. I love Ayu's writing. it does match the song itself

If you come across deep sorrow
I wish you will share it with me
I'll be able to do anything for the smile
My precious treasure
My precious treasure ...

how touching is that

I agree They're sweet lyrics, but she repeats this theme too much.
