I for one enjoyed the song. It was nice and relaxing; an excellent take on an already excellent song.

I must say I'm not really too fond of the guitar during the solo parts, however the violin fits perfectly and it's way stronger than those whiny vocals in the original.
Not something I'd pay for, yet ten times better than most fan arrangements.

If I wouldn't already have listened to k-waves Lab's Chrono Cross Arrange CD (with all instruments played by Kou Ogata), this track here would certainly be my favourite :D

Oh, I'd have to disagree on the point about Mitose not injecting any emotion into the song. :P One winning point for Radical Dreamers, in my opinion, was the wonderfully bitter-sweet quality Mitose infused in the song. Her innocent child-like stylings also added much tot he song as well. These are qualities I feel that any instrument, aside from another human voice, would find hard to replicate. That said, the violin in the arrangement under discussion does bring out something slightly different (in a positive way) from what the vocal version did.

Splitted. Those who want to comment about the arrangement can continue here.
