I don't hear the cheapness in beloved. Honestly my first thought was if it may have been another arrangement by that American guy. If the strings are "fake" not all of them are because some make sounds uncommon from midi-strings - and they are background instruments in this song so I don't care, especially as we're getting an orchestra version.
IMO some of Ayu's best vocals, a really pretty arrangement(but not her best) and an average melody. Together creating a song that stands out for the technical aspects moreso than for the creative ones. However I'd call it different from what she released the last years, Who... may be closest.
