Sadly, I think the reason those songs are only considered as epic and majestic as they are is because they were released when Ayu was in her prime---1999 to 2001 (and a little of 2002). They are still good songs, but face it, if they were released in, say, 2006 or 2007, many people would brush them off as "boring" like they did BLUE BIRD or fated. Boys & Girls would be just another "cutesy happy song" and "M" would be another "Oh, another rock song?". I think that if they were released recently, they'd elicit those kinds of responses.

EXACTLY! It's not necessarily the songs that are so amazing (
although in this case, they are!), but the hype that went along with those songs.
M was huge because it was a great song AND Ayumi was in her prime. So yes, I agree 100%!
