I finally checked, and I evidently actually did bring it up already (without linking), but Synchrocyclotron was the first thing i watched from Kaf. There are finally a couple of other covers of it out there now, but none actually match hers despite being great in their own right. This is a kind of song spoiler here but one that you probably won't understand until you hear it. Kaf nails that last "ta?" in a way only she can, sounding basically exactly halfway between a chord change and an inquisitive question, and it shows especially compared to other covers. It's deceptive how difficult actually pulling that off is. It's not an inherent "Kaf" song like the real, Kanzaki Iori-composed ones are and can't compete with them, but it's a song that nevertheless allowed her to play to her strengths really well.

bin is as far as you can get from any other Kaf song, cover or otherwise. It's more the kind of thing you'd expect to hear covered by someone like Ryushen instead (which she did). Unexpectedly though, it was also a great fit for Kaf. Ryushen's cover doesn't really deliver so Kaf's is also easily my favourite for it too. I was exploding when I was watching the live premiere for it, impulse subscribed to the original composer, etc etc. bin is culture.

Incidentally, Ryushen has also covered No Doubt, and more recently Tenjin Kotone too, but they failed to win me over enough to ever post them. Aer's version really blows them out of the water. It's surprising that hers differs so much from them as well as the original, because her version feels like exactly what the song needed to sound like in the first place. I'm excitedly hoping she has genuine prospects of getting a lot of attention because of it.
