B>A?
 

I was originally going to put this in the general music chat but I realized asians are way more heavy when it comes to singles than the rest of the world so I threw it hear, and it's easier to talk about.

Are there any B, C, or even D sides that you preffer or A sides? I realized a few of my own when thinking about it

Zwei - Ice Breaker > Hikari
Ayumi - alterna > fairyland
Utada - Kettobase! > Can You Keep A Secret?
Monkey Majik - robots inc. > aishiteru (maybe)

Now you don't have to put them into math equations like I did, but it's easier to see it that way. Like I said, off the top of my brain, I can't think of any b-sided american songs I like over their a-side counterparts. let alone any bsides at all.

a bunch of alan stuff and some Namie..

alan:
Kagome >>> Kaze no Tegami
Beauty >>> Swear
Tokyo Mimei + sign > Hitotsu :P

Namie Amuro:
exist for you > Put 'Em Up
Let's not fight > Say the word (sorta)

sifow
love regrets>RULE
RULE is good, love regrets is amazing!!

alan - Beauty > Swear

oh wow I just realized.

ami suzuki - aishiteru.....>>>>>>>>> kiss x3

I am so in love with aishiteru. such an amazing song. kiss is good too, but not as amazing.

But isn't alterna an A-side? fairyland c/w alterna was a double A-SIDE single. ayu doesn't have many b-sides, though generally it can be difficult to determine whether a song is a b-side or not, though I can surely say a song is an A-SIDE if:

-it's featured on an album

AND

-has a PV

However, the other possibilities are just really difficult to determine precisely.

alan:
Sakura Modern>Ashita e no Sanka
sign>Hitotsu
Kagome>Kaze no Tegami

GACKT:
uncertain memory>OASIS
Cube>Kimi no Tame ni Dekiru Koto
Oblivious ~Kao ni nai Tenshi~>Faraway ~Hoshi ni Negai o~

Ayumi:
immature>appears
ever free>vogue
Life>Mirrorcle World
Sparkle>Rule

^ i thought Rule and Sparkle were both a sides?

^ I dunno. Wasn't Sparkle's PV released on the album not the single?
But Sparkle never really felt like an a-side.

alan
Beauty>Swear

Ayu
Sparkle>Rule

Oh it has to have a PV to be an a-side

Cause the single is Rule/Sparkle and not just Rule...but I'm not sure what counts as a or b sides @_@

sign > Hitotsu
Kagome > Kaze no Tegami
Namida > Megumi no Ame
Beauty > Swear
ever free > vogue

I think there are more...now just gotta look them up~

it's difficult to tell. I mean, Will was a bside, and it's still on the (m)u album. ayu releases instrumentals even for bsides to make it seem like an a-side. X_X I can't tell. either way....

alterna > fairyland

and there are plenty of acceptions to those rules. the songs on A, H, Unite, and audience are all a-sides and none of them have pvs, and are all on albums.

DEFINITELY! Bounce is just pure awesomeness *________*

Um. "Sparkle" isn't a B-side, it's an A-side released with "Rule" hence "Rule"/"Sparkle".

Koda Kumi
Winter Bell > Stay with me
Bounce > anytime
Love Holic > Kiseki
HEAT > Chase

Kanon Wakeshima
Black Birdcage > Still Doll

Sparkle is A side.

B-side ayu only :
two of us
Ever free
Teen
Theme of A-nation
Life

those all I remember and IMO
Ever Free >>> Vogue

Namie Amuro

Did U > Wishing On The Same Star

BoA: soundscape > Everlasting
BoA: IZM > BUMP BUMP!

:thumbsup

Ayumi Hamasaki
ever free > vogue
theme of a-nation '03 > ourselves, Greatful days, and HANABI ～episode II～

ever free is so amazing ;3; too amazing.

Utada Hikaru
Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) & はやとちり > Wait & See ～リスク～

Kana Nishino
celtic > glowly days
GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN > 遠くても feat.WISE
Stamp > Style.

and That's all I can think about right now.
