You took most of the words right out of my mouth.

I just wanted to mention it's a shame that the original version of Gamble got swept under a rug. Got excluded from the official cut of Gekokujyo Xtasy (the only concert footage we can officially get is the HF arrangement in Ringo Expo), ZCS went out-of-print as soon as HF came out, and the original recording was specifically excluded from anthologies, too. I'm not saying the HF arrangement is bad at all, but why abandon the original?

As for the demo tracks, I'd like Girl to get officially released as-is, since it's so great that it could only be made worse if you tried to redo anything about it. I'm open to the possibility of a concert performance of it (with Shiina Ringo on piano), but I don't want a new studio version.
