Boys & Girls is Hamasaki Ayumi's ninth single. Boys & Girls was used as the Kao "AUBE" lipstick CM song, featuring Hamasaki on the commercial. The song was so successful that she was invited to perform it at the annual Kohaku Uta Gassen concert. This single reached #2 on the Oricon charts in its first week, and #1 on the next three weeks. It sold 1,033,390 copies in 1999, becoming the #11 single of the year. It charted for 17 weeks and sold a total of 1,037,950 copies, making it her first single to sell over a million copies. This single is also Hamasaki's first to chart on the United World Charts.
