^ That version is used in episode 16.

From my point of view, the various existing versions of this song don't seem to me to have any deep meaning. In the sixth episode there is a version sung by Asuka, because it was in this episode that she was introduced... I don't see anything else besides this.

BTW, It's interesting to see the three main female characters expressing love XD

Oh, yeah. That happens. As the story progress, the contrast between what's happening and the credits keep growing (to the point in which it starts to get uncomfortable, probably intentionally).
I remember it changing in episode 16. We can hear Asuka asking someone (presumably Shinji) if he loves her (and making advances).
Just sit here and waste your precious time. When you want to do something, don't do it right away. Don't do it when you can. Read my posts instead. It's the only way to live a life without regrets.

Yeah, in that change the three female characters mutter several phrases, some of them well known:

  • Asuka: "Hey, you wanna kiss?" (ねえ キスしようか?) / "Loneliness..." (寂しい・・・) / "do you love me?"*
  • Rei: "do you love me?" (私のこと好き?) / "who are you?" (あなた、誰?) / "do you want me?"*
  • Misato: "Why don't you become one with me?" (私とひとつにならない?) / "If you become one both in mind and body, it's a very, very conforting feeling." (心も体もひとつになる それはそれは・・・ とても 気持ちのいいことなのよ) / "do you love me?"*
* These three lines are spoken in English.

In the ADV subtitles, there's a curious speech: "Pleasure... sky of reality... cruel strangers..." -- such a poetic one, lol. Someone asked me about it someday, but I have zero idea about.

To me, the variation always played a subtle yet fascinating role of complementing each ep. Matching with the mood(for the lack of any better term of in my knowledge) of the story in each ep on an artistic level, the distinct melody, voice, instrumental choice felt like a proper, soothing conclusion that helped me keep myself at bay from letting my curiosity prevail and do a 1-2 day marathon and at the same time increased the already built up suspense after watching an ep a day during the first watch. Which I'd say was a right decision imo, since that gave me a lot of time to brainstorm and indulge.

It's a shame that Ritsuko's va didn't cover the one in ep 13 though.

I'm pretty sure that came from the Japanese poster for EoE. It listed a bunch of metaphorical, often negative, ideas, and then wrote Rei and Shinji's lines from just before Third Impact starts:

"Then, why are you here?"
"Is it okay for me to be here?"

As for why ADV chose to insert that into Episode 16, I have no idea. ADV pre-Platinum subs tended to include a lot of bizarre changes to the original script.

Yes, that would have been nice. Perhaps she just doesn't sing? Or maybe they didn't think to ask her.

This seems a likely explanation. It appears that she's into tango singing and has provided some vocals for One Piece, but has no significant musical career beyond that I can see.

I never thought to look at this poster, but I've to say you might be right.

I found only one phrase that is fully match:
残酷な他人 (zankokuna tanin) → Can be translated as “cruel stranger”

Thanks!
