Also is a good one to demonstrate how different the versions can be. They are undeniably the same song, but damn, it's a night-and-day difference.

Yes, I always hated the version of I am... because Endless sorrow it's one of my favorite songs. Now, I find the arrangement of the album ok, but it kills the strenght of the original song anyway.

Memorial address was recorded like it was a studio live, with no interruptions. Normally, songs are recorded multiple times and the version we have is a collage of the best vocals from these sessions. Probably she coughed (lol) or forgot the lyrics (an Ayu classic) during the first take.

In this case, I was happy with that choice. It's an extended version of one of WHATEVER versions (I always forget which one), but it suits so well with the whole LOVEppears album vibe.
