I'd prefer new takes on the songs, but not at the cost of quality. Most of Ayu's orchestral versions are complete muddled messes of vaguely melodic sound. The layering is too complex and you just get.... gray. you know? Not horrible but completely unmemorable.
"Missing" had the same issue here - it was the one that went most off the original source material, and I couldn't even tell what the rhythm was for a good chunk of it. Muddled, gray, dull.
It was a smart, albeit amateurish, move to follow the original accompaniment with nice, classical instrumentation. Uncreative maybe but when you're in a time crunch it's the best way to go if you wanna do something that's guaranteed to be listenable.
