Do we know if crossroad is a single a-side single? or a double a-side single? the other song is still unannounced/unnamed and for all we know, she could end up making it an a-side by the time of it's release.

waterballoon 12th August 2010 04:53 PM

if it doesn't then maybe it spells more hope for crossroad lol

AyumiAi 12th August 2010 05:28 PM

Maybee kuu releasing that same day might help crossroad?
People would say oh why go to the store and buy crossroad ill wait for L and then buy them both
save myself a go to the store
but kuu's single maybe people will be like oh kuu + ayu il go and buy both together
there's an extra reason to go buy crossroad now on its first week no?
X)
im praying crossroad #1 L no doubt will reach #1 and i have a feeling L will sell very well :)

as far as I understood, crossroad isn't a double a-side single, I guess it's like with HEAVEN.

Some people are WAY too considered with this streak. Do you guys think Ayu will be personally hurt if it's broken? I can't recollect an instance where she even ever spoke of the streak publicly. Anyway, streak or no streak... it's only important that Ayu makes good music and if she's gonna keep the streak, I'd prefer she get it the natural way rather than let avex cheat for her like with You were... / BALLAD.

I don't think she views as a priority or anything, but I personally would hate to see it go to waste when she's so near, you get what I mean? :laugh

anyway, if crossroad's gonna be like HEAVEN, then wow is it her first single since then to have only one a-side?

Mirrorcle World, talkin' 2 myself, Together when..., and BLUE BIRD are all single A-side singles that were released after HEAVEN.

AyumiAi 12th August 2010 06:04 PM

What does single a side mean?
like it has 2 songs but why do ppl say it will only have one title track ? 0_o
im sorry i just became an ayu fan a year ago and im new to this thread so all this a side b side Q sidethings

An a-side is what is mainly promoted, it's the "main" or "lead" song on the single. It is what is mainly focused on. A b-side is the second song. It isn't as much promoted, and is like a second/less popular song.

It's really easy to tell what an a-side and a b-side are based on the single title. For example her single "BLUE BIRD". On it, BLUE BIRD is an a-side, and Beautiful Fighters is a b-side. If it was called "BLUE BIRD/Beautiful Fighters" they would both be a-sides

Quote:

A-side and B-side originally referred to the two sides of 7 inch vinyl records on which singles were released beginning in the 1950s. The terms have come to refer to the types of song conventionally placed on each side of the record, with the A-side being the featured song (the one that the record producer hopes will receive radio airplay and become a "hit"), while the B-side, or flipside, is a secondary song that often does not appear on the artist's LP.

A "double A-side" is a single which has two featured songs.

No. Just because they have PVs does not make them an A-side. The singles aren't called "talkin' 2 myself/decision" or "BLUE BIRD/Beautiful Fighters".

Also, don't let "c/w" trip you up. Like her single "INSPIRE c/w GAME" does not mean that GAME is an A-side. It just simply states that The single "INSPIRE" is including the b-side "GAME".

Quote:

The term "b/w", an abbreviation of "backed with" or occasionally "bundled with", is often used to refer to the B-side of a record. The term "c/w", for "combined with" or "coupled with", is used similarly
"fairyland c/w alterna" is very similar. The single fairyland is couple with the b-side alterna. It's a way of promoting a b-side without making it an a-side. Tricky way of promoting.

I know. I think it's a very good idea though. The whole "c/w" thing. promoting a b-side on a single without making it an a-side.

To stop any more confusions for anyone else. Here is a complete list of her b-sides.

Quote:

01. FRIEND
02. Two of us
03. LOVE ~since 1999~
04. ever free
05. theme of a-nation '03
06. GAME
07. alterna
08. Will
09. Beautiful Fighters
10. Secret
11. decision
12. Life
13. RED LINE ~for TA~

I would think teens as a cover than a B-Side actually, but so if a single has like 2 songs in it, but its title is only of one of the songs, it means the other is a B-Side?

Yes. Or if the single is a name that isn't a song, it means they are all a-sides because the single is a multi-a-side single. Like ayu's "H" single. She has no song called H, but HANABI, July 1st, and independent are all a-sides. Or her single "A". She has no song called "A" (actually she does but that's a bit different) but all the songs are a-sides on that single. End roll, Trauma, monochrome, and too late.

waterballoon 12th August 2010 06:50 PM

so L's gonna be a 3 a-side single then, sweettt

AyumiAi 12th August 2010 06:51 PM

Ahhh Thank you! That makes more sense now :)

primavera♥ 12th August 2010 07:03 PM

I'm still really hoping she does on rock song on either or both singles. I feel like not much time has gone by. I can't tolerate all this wait. I want more information. XD

I really wanna see the tracklist soon

She's done rock recently with Microphone, Rule, Mirrorcle World, etc. but I want a sad, love rock song like is this LOVE? and Because of you. If there's any rock, I hope it's like that.

Unless they decide to change it like they did with BLUE BIRD.
