blossom (Orchestra version): O gosh...:'( It sounds SO SAD! I knew it was a sad sounding melody to begin with but the orchestra version is amazing. her voice blends so well with it and I love the strings! Best remix for a long long time really. Very impressed...

moving on to MOON's

MOON (Orchestra version): I was anticipating this a lot because I'm soooo in love with original. I love how the verse just got creepier haha...Her vocals sound strong but not too much in the chorus. that's a really good thing I can totally hear the emotions even better now. There's something so ethereal in this. I actually hoped for a really powerful orchestra so this is a surprise haha. NICE! the ending is so gorgeous. It's as though there's an orgel in this too..BONUS!

I agree, the orchestra versions are very different than before. Their not...BAM FULL ORCHESTRA with vocals. This time everything blends so well! and they lie on the softer side too.

edit: I dont know if its just me, but Virgin Road's chorus sounds like Ayu is calling out to someone. The melody gives me that feeling. It's so special.
