The single is double a-sided single. So both songs are the title songs.

^^ Yup. Noticed how "Born to be..." also has a PV?

Seriously, Ayu should really stop with the double a-sided single. It's getting tiring.

I've been wondering this for a while but.. what exactly is an a-side and a b-side? like I know with records but what do they mean by it with a CD? Sorry if that's a stupid question, I just never could understand what an a-side/b-side is on a CD! ^^;;;

an a-side is the main song and a b-side is the coupleing trrack. for example,
vogue single
a-side: vogue
b-side: ever free

I just made a thread about it in the ayu chat room. The short & sweet of it is that the terms "a-side" and "b-side" haven't meant anything since the days of 7" single records, and they've NEVER really meant anything with ayu.

True, but at least we get more big budgetted PVs..

On the other hand, her albums have been single collections.. (M)U had 6 A-sides, 2 B-sides, 2 Airplay tracks(Rainy Day, Ladies Night). Altogether 10 out of 14 tracks were receiving airplay and airtime on MTV. 2 more are interludes, and we then only have 4 original tracks left.

She has got to promote. Sales slipped and I guess this was the plan. Ladies Night never aired on MTV though? It was strickly for the album?

I like the double A-sides. Both songs usually end up being really great, and then there are more PVs for us to watch!
