I'm still hating the original version, but the orchestrated one is pure gold. I just can't believe how the feeling of the song changes completely.

About the Ayu vs. Hikki comparisions, I think Utada is way more a musicist than anything. She spent a lot of time more than Ayu in studio to craft her sound and she's basically raised inside the music industry. She delivers a much more refined work than most pop artists (worldwide).
Ayu songs are far more "basic" than Hikki's, but she's above average. I like how she uses some word plays and how her arrangement could be very creative from time to time. "Party Queen" is an underrated album over here, but has some of her most creative melodies and arrangements (pay attention to "Shake it", "Return Road" and "a cup of tea")
