Here is the performance I was talking about. It was a-nation '05. But I was mistaken -- it is the same key, but it sounds brighter because it doesn't have the heavy bass and dark sweeping strings to add to the atmosphere. It is just really just bright piano with a pad underneath it.

I was actually talking about the arrangements, but in addition to A song for XX, YOU and Who... were given new vocal tracks. They sound muuuch nicer, especially Who... .

No, I don't think End roll was re-recorded. But I'm positive it was re-mastered. The background vocal was reduced significantly, and the lead vocal was warmed and brought out more. That's probably the vocal difference you hear.

(practicing)
some guy talking to ayu: "You suck!"
ayumi: Shhh!! *or some sorta laugh noise,*
same guy: One, two, one two three four....
(playing)

Actually what is being said is
男: よっしゃ！
あゆ: よっし・・・！
男: ・・・っしゃ。
Guy: Yossha!
Ayu: Yossh(i)...!
Guy: ...ssha!
"Yoshi" (or more emphatically, "yosshi") is an exclamation that means "All right!" The guy says "yossha!" which is a little bit rougher and more energetic. Ayu says "yossh(i)" (the "i" sound is often cut short), which is more standard. The guy then playfully "corrects" Ayu's "yossh(i)" by adding a "ssha" to the end of it and laughing.
