In my opinion, a lot of Ayu's older ballads are overrated. M included. They're all nice and they're classics, but I never listen to them. I prefer the likes of HEAVEN, Together When..., JEWEL, No way to say etc. To me, they are FAR superior to Dearest and even M (which I don't really even consider a ballad to be honest so maybe that's why). You were... is shaping up to be what I consider one of Ayu's best ballads.
