I barely listen to the original ASFXX version, I usually go for the A BEST version cause of her voice. And while I love the A BALLADS version, I think the original is still more emotional for me, it's more raw and sincere imo.
Talking on this, probably my favourite performance of the song is the one from the 2001 Dome tour tbh, as she kept on singing it through the years it started to fit her voice better but it got so... artificial... idk the movements with her hair, the poses, they were not spontaneous. Like, if you watch the a-nation' 08 perfomance and the one from the Asia Tour, it's basically the same thing but without the rain. On the Dome Tour though it's just ayu desperatly singing it out of her heart. It just give me chills every single time I watch it. And that's the same difference of feelings I get between the A BALLADS and original versions.

ikr it was just amazing she performed that remix on CDL, it was something I never though that could happen
