A BALLADS version is good too actually. I don't know which version I like better. I think in ASFXX and in A BEST, she's expressing her feelings very purely with her old voice whereas in A BALLADS, her singing voice is apparently a lot stronger so it really belies the emotions that are suppose to be given off by the song. That and the arrangement of the song is different with new instruments etc. Honestly I think each of the three versions of this song has its own strengths and weaknesses. I can't say which one I prefer now that I listen to all of them.

To tell you the truth... I don't know who's name I would insert in the ×× spot... I've never deeply thought about who it would be... Maybe multiple people~?
You're not the only one heh. It's just that...I think this song is meant to relate to a certain group of people. And within that certain group of people, each person will relate the song differently according to their own life/experiences. Overall I still love it even if it doesn't affect me as deeply. Just by listening to it I can still get something out of it, by feeling all the emotions that overflow from it.
