i think it's just a psychological thing.

and that because there is comparison to a ballad in the past which was BIG, the new ballads will kinda never surpass those..
I don't believe it's psychological for a second, cause you either feel the impact on the first listen, or you don't. Zutto... certainly had zero impact, and there have been many other singles in that I had similar feelings about. But, Zutto... is certainly the worst offender. I can't think of a single ballad single that had less of an impactful feeling.

Also, it does not take into account the many album tracks which had a "bigger" sound to them, despite not being a single and not being promoted as heavily.

Another thing to consider is when the songs have an impact on you even if you came to the fandom late and weren't around during the promotional process or active during the time of the singles release. Which takes that psychological impact out of the equation.
