Guided is, as far as Aikatsu Gothic-themed songs go, is pretty much in the high end (then again, they always are XD) in terms of quality and atmosphere-wise. I can even say with confidence that thanks to the increased budget and work done to render the CGI, the performance itself was very spectacular and felt 'clean', with barely any low framerates or other imperfections. Also, the beginning itself totally caught me off guard-the way the scene transitioned from the 'past' to the present stage was nothing short of amazing indeed.

However, what I like best about Guided is the way in how Sakuya (or her singer, Suyama Emiri), sings it; it's more she's reciting a fairytale/ folk story from her heart rather than just spelling out the lyrics. It also helps that the song's lyrics actually sound like genuine lines taken directly from a storybook, so it's pretty cool and helps keeps Sakuya in character, as well as make the entire experience authentic in its own original way.
