But how come in the CM for STEP you/is this LOVE?, the say "NEW MAXI SINGLE"? It only had the two songs and the two instrumentals...

A-side is the song that's in the title of a single, while B-side is a song that is included on the single, but isn't in the title. Sometimes they write "fairyland c/w alterna", but that's just for information, it's not the actual title.

Well how come Kumi's Yume No Uta/Futari de... is known as a "double a-side" and both songs have PVs, however Futari de... did not appear on the album?
