Notes

0. The BGM is an arrangement of Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance #1" a.k.a. "Land of Hope and Glory". It was playbacked also in Legend "D" for SU-METAL's Birthday Celebration.
1. It is a tango titled "だんご3兄弟" (Dango San Kyoodai; Three Brothers of Dumplings). It was performed in children's TV program targeted at 2-4 y.o.(?), but it appealed to people of all generations and the CD sold over three million copies.
2. It is a Japanese rock band "GLAY". On 1999 Jul. 31st, it gathered an audience of two hundred thousand in the parking area of Makuhari Messe, near Tokyo.
3. The Japanese notation is "由ありて結ばれる", but this explanation is strange. "由" is read as "yoshi" (as one-kanji word). It is read as "yui" only in few two-kanji words such as "由緒" （yuisho; history）. There's no other one-kanji word read as "yui" than "結" in the dictionary. Since "結" is read as "musubu" too (the meanings are nearly same), when used for name, another kanji read as "i" is often attached (e.g. "結以", "結衣") to show the reading "yui". The attached kanji is often regarded as meaningless. "由" of "由結" may be attached for the same reason. I don't know whether her parents really meant "理由ありて結ばれる" (riyuu arite musubareru; to be tied by some reason) and 'he' only misheard it, or 'he' made up whole the story.
4. YUIMETAL often said collecting seals was her hobby. Stamp-size stickers are called "seal" in Japan.
5. YUIMETAL belongs to a girl group "Sakura Gakuin" (= Cherry Blossom School), but its membership is limited to 10-15 y.o. girls (in 5th-9th grade).
