"CAROLS" Performance: What Does This Word Means?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfd7uFRrV8c

Listen to 1:23.

She sang "soshite", even the lyrics were written so.

It supposed to be "yagate".

Any native Japanese or anyone who's good in Japanese mind telling me what it means?

It's been bugging me.

Thank you, fellow Ayu fans!

soshite means and then, yagate means before long. The change doesn't make much difference to the lyric as a whole, so I think she just misplaced the word.

Really? Isn't "CAROLS" good?

I love it how pitchy her "I" vowel is!

I think she deliberately sang it so, as the lyrics were written on screen as she sang.

The mystery's solved!
