Footnotes:
[1] The title is ラクヨウ, written in katakana, which is the reading of the word 落葉 (rakuyou / falling leaves), however, together with footnote [3], the falling of leaves refered to in this song is not the actual falling of leaves, but rather, words, so the songwriter must have wanted to avoid writing actual leaves (葉) in the title, therefore, resorting to katakana.
[2] Literally, the word written was 十六夜 (izayoi / the night after the full moon / the 16th night), but this is also used to refer to autumn / fall in poetry.
[3] In usual Japanese, "word(s)" is 言葉 (kotoba), but this is made from two words--言 (koto / speech / word) and 葉 (ha / leaf), which can be said as 言の葉 (koto no ha / word(s)). Since this song is about autumn, and that is when leaves fall, this is using 言の葉 (koto no ha / word(s)) as actual falling leaves, which the singer does not want to fall and scatter before she is prepared to say them herself.
