Is it just held or is there an effect that makes the "o" sound skip to the rhythm of the song? if it skips, it's the single version.
"TO BE"'s biggest differences are the intro's instrument fading a bit after each note instead of just echoing at a steady volume, and the drums are quite a bit different in places. In the intro, just before the mandolin kicks in, there's a specific drum fill that's very easily discernable from the original mix. If there's a "DOON DOON DOON, doon doon doon" just before the mandolin, and the very beginning sounds sparse (like the heavenly-sounding background synth seems to dominate over the echoing & fading lead "plucking" synth instrument) then it's the album version.
"immature" has just a totally different arrangement. the album version sounds like the Concert Tour 2000 performance, and there's alot of emphasis on lead keyboards. It sounds kinda like the disney electrical parade music at times ^^;;... the single version is the original, "JT Original CM Version", used in the Momo no Tennensui commercial with the mannequins. It's darker sounding, the synthesizer sounds like it wants to be an electric guitar when it grows up. It's more raw-sounding but i got tired of it easily, i tend to prefer the "prettier" album version.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Del. I can't say I recognize a really significant difference in TO BE or immature, but then again, they're probably more subtle variations that only someone with sharp perception would be attuned to. I recognized the difference in monochrome right away. I guess I'll have to compare the seperate versions.
Kind of like with the 2003 rebirth mixes. I didn't really recognize a change in those either. Hm.
