Jouka has a nice, fluid feel, with a bit of floatiness as well. The first. The original will never lose its touch. Reminds me of a light blue...
Sabaki has awesome guitar and drum patterns, and a nice synth line near the end. Filled with passion. Reminds me of the color of a burning fire.
Chikai has chilling vocals. Reminds me of a dark green or blue, and also that time just before sunset. The Custom Drive sample isn't as thoroughly used as the RED ENDING in ~Jouka~
Yeah, Sabaki wins. | |

Everytime I come to visit here, Sabaki is one vote above Jouka... >_>
BTW: Who voted Chikai?
Whoever did neglected to post...
But anyway, Chikai is starting to grow on me, no longer a distant third, but still third...
BTW: Can someone give me info on that Wiegenlied mix? Like who remixed it, where it appeared, etc.... | |

The Wiegenlied mix is real alright. It's an instrumental version of CaptivAte that's the last track on the IIDX HAPPY SKY OST that is much slower and gentler in tone. Oh, and longer too.
Sadly, that's all I know about it.

To be exact, the Wiegenlied mix is supposedly done by a string ensemble, a piano, and a flute. It's all computerized though.
Anyway, I'm surprised at the small number of votes for Chikai; I really liked the part when the Custom Drive theme kicks in. Overall, I personally liked all the CaptivAte's equally, so I'm simply going to vote for the one that will help balance the results a little.

The only reason I know where its from, is because I played GOLD. I really enjoy it, and if SABAKI did not exist, I could not choose between the 2 beatmania Captivates.

Judging by the poll, Sabaki may be decided the winner.
(The bolded words is Sabaki translated into English) | |

Agreed with kannazuki about Jouka's Wiegenlied mix (which literally means "cradle song" in German, and it really is). Nice song for a short afternoon nap.
Anyways, among the 3, I prefer Jouka and Sabaki. I'm not quite enjoyed with Jouka, though, although it gradually grew on me.  | |

It's the indirect noun for "pledge". Or at least that's the closest English synonym I can think of at the moment. XD
Edit: Online translated it as "oath". Guess I was close enough. My English isn't too good yet. XD

I'm much more familiarized to chikai due to the fact that the opening of DistorteD is good. | |

My opinion:
!) Jouka
The whole song itself sounds amazing. From the opening piano runs as well as the synths, then come the vocals which sound cold and dark yet beautfully sung. Yet obviously, the best part comes from the IIDX RED ending. Too bad though that whenever I play the [h] chart, I make the song sound so crappy 
2) Sabaki
Opening guitars are there. Though when you look at it, when you compare the GFDM V2 opener with the one from IIDX GOLD, there may not be much difference after all. I mean, add the vocals and you would feel A/I's voice to be sweet and euphoric. Take away the vocals, then you can appreciate the guitar plucking more. Nothing to gain and nothing to lose by removing or adding the opening vocals.
3) Chikai
At first, I thought it sounded crappy. My first worry was that her voice was degenerating (much like my initial fear years ago that TERRA/Junko Terashima was having the same thing as I felt that her singing voice was going downhill after DoLL). Though after playing it more, it kinda grew on me. As usual, the best part comes after the vocals as these are all piano runs then this goes on as it reaches the Custom Drive theme song part.
So personally:
JOUKA>SABAKI>CHIKAI
Needless to say that all of them are neat songs to play with
