You don't like Relation ??? I would totally recommend this album it's their more experimental album from the 90's all the singles are classics (I'm not really into Sweet Heart because it's too sugary) Wanna Be a Dreammaker, perfume of love, Sa Yo Na Ra and what about the album tracks Creamy Day, like a snowy kiss, Illusion
Across the Street, Cross the Waters is probably the least accessible song in this album too much experimental but it's definitely interesting !
I can't believe you don't recommend it XD

I'm glad you share my feelings about Ayu's Many Classic Moments. I don't think Ayu's level of emotion is the problem for me? But one thing I love about the original that Ayu's version doesn't do as well is how it builds intensity by switching and contrasting between loud and quiet: it starts off very quiet, just the lonely synth playing before Keiko comes in singing quietly, and from there she and the music get progressively louder until the chorus, where Keiko goes all out and the arrangement settles down and lets her do her thing. The contrasts aren't as strong in Ayu's version, it starts off louder and I feel like she doesn't really go all out in the second part of the chorus? Like, this would have called for some NO FUTURE level bombastic bellowing, but I don't feel like I'm quite getting that. I hope to hear it in the rest of the song! But she totally nails the chorus! I'm still excited to hear the rest though something is a little off.
