I pretty much agree with this. I love both Simple and Clean and Hikari, but I think if I had to choose it would be Simple and Clean because that song is extremely special to me.

As for Passion v. Sanctuary, I do agree. The lyrics to Sanctuary seem strange to me and the lack of the beautiful background vocals from Passion, as well as the extremely weak vocals in the song, make it less awesome. It seemed really forced and Simple and Clean didn't have that problem at all.

I think that's kind of funny too that Sanctuary feels forced and Simple and Clean doesn't when Sanctuary/Passion was originally in English and S&C/Hikari was originally in Japanese.

OH! I forgot to mention... I love the ~after the battle~ version of Sanctuary much more than the original mix. It's right up there with Passion. So, if you're talking ~after the battle~ then I like Passion and Sanctuary equally as well.
