Man, I love this song. :D Amano Tsukiko is one of my favourite singers at the moment. Kurenai, Chou, and Noise by her are also brilliant.
Another thing I really liked about Yuri's good ending is the way that the recurring thematic motif of water is linked to her being unable to cry despite all she's been through. Her tears ultimately cleanse her of her suffering, much like how the "pure water" of Mount Hikami was used in ritualistic cleansing.
The endings are decided thus:
Yuri: Whether you defeat the final boss in her "drowning" (bad ending) or "praying" (good ending) form.
Miu: Whether or not you take a photo of your mother before following her out into the Lake of the Departed. Taking a photo = good ending, not taking one= bad ending.
Ren: First, whether you choose the hair lock or the photo as your token. If you choose the child, it's whether you fight her or let her grab you, and if you choose Ose, it's whether you touch her or take a photo of her.
As for how I rank the ones I've played, I think I still love Fatal Frame 4 the best, with 2 (the Wii version) and 5 vying for second place. They're all among my favourite games of recent years though. :)

I'll have to give those a listen! :)
And that's really cool. I didn't even know this game was going to have multiple endings until it was over, but I think it was done very well and adds to the replayability.
I really want to play the others at some point, especially 4. Hopefully Nintendo localizes that game eventually. If not I'll have to homebrew a Wii or something. xD

Yeah, I deliberately avoided spoilers before playing the game, so while I'd heard there were multiple endings, I went in blind as far as having no idea what they were, or what the criteria were for deciding which I got. XD
I highly recommend the Fatal Frame games on Wii if you enjoyed the Wii U one. They're very similar in terms of core gameplay and style, just obviously with Wiimote controls and simpler visuals. 4 is actually the scariest of the bunch for me.
It's a damn shame Nintendo never brought 4 outside Japan or 2 to North America. Thankfully, both can be played with rather straightforward homebrew hacks.
