To me, it has always been Demo < ZCS < HF. I felt that each new version was an improvement instrumentally and vocally. Gamble is a beast of a song so the stripped down demo seemed awkward for me. The orchestra is a big part of the reason I fell in love with that song. But then again, it probably doesn't help that I listened to the versions in reverse order.

I like Shampoo too but I felt like the main ideas in that song could have easily been adapted to some of her other compositions. There are a number of solo and Jihen songs that have a similar vibe and sound. It specifically reminds me of a early prototype of Kenshou Naoshi. Of course the melody and tempo are different but the same types of instruments are present and they play similar roles.
