Maybe I listen to Sheena tonight? I think so.

As it is so often the case with her many self-covers, I can appreciate both versions about equally. The original rocks more, the second has all the orchestral stuff, which I am a total sucker for.
The one thing that makes the original a bit better in my eyes is that it's it's all in Japanese. It always bugs me a bit when she sings English. Except for Kuki, which sounds really cool in the English version from Heisei Fuuzoku as well.
And in case someone else is reading this thread, here's a live version of the track we're talking about.
The arrangement is very similar to the self-cover, but I could find neither of the album versions on Youtube.
Fantastic stuff anyway:
