Original, complete, animated short version, and re-recorded version
In 2006, KSLA-0026 placed the original full version of "Last regrets," the TV animation short version, and the 2006 memorial mix on tracks 1, 3, and 5, respectively. The label clearly states that the latter re-recorded the vocals, making it different from versions that only cut the old full track.
Adaptation of Lia's acoustic
In 2002, "recollections" also included Lia's song "Last regrets -acoustic version-," which was initially a newly released adaptation. This differs from the production statement from the 2006 Memorial Mix: the former confirmed acoustic adaptations with Lia, while the latter confirmed the vocals were re-recorded.
PC Standard Edition: The melody before the opening credits
The game opens with instrumental melodies from "Last regrets," followed by the opening animation.
A male tempo from the development period
In a 2023 interview, Tomoyuki Nakazawa confirmed that the male temp for "Last regrets" was performed by Kazuya Takase; That audio source did not reveal the singer's name at the time.
