I would consider the slower love songs as ballads. This does not have to be the tradition love as between humans but you could express love for anything. Imagine Jewel but about cheese... lol (that would be kinda great actually).
Of course this is counter by the Power Ballad which is nothing like a traditional ballad, but in a forum of entertainment that is meant to break and mold the terms are really meaningless.
Much like ayumi I do not classify momentum as a ballad... not in the slightest. More of something that you would play on the beach on the cusp of spring. Think of a week or two after the first flowers blossom, but you still have chilly nights.
Thats just me though.
