I heard that religious Japanese are either Christian or Buddhist.

There's a lot of religious ideology in the song "M" from what you guys have said. The song seems to have been inspired by the story of Mary Magdalene but the PV takes place in a church with Ayumi playing as the Virgin Mary. Maybe the PV portrays both, because there's Ayumi dressed in black right from the beginning, and only in the black outfit is she vocalizing (maybe role-playing as Mary Magdalene) while in contrast she's a silent figure when dressed in the white gown (Virgin Mary).

*shrugs* Just a thought.
