What's the "official" title of the fairyland single?
 

Is it fairyland or fairyland c/w alterna? Also, what are the official track titles? For example, is fairyland just "fairyland" or "fairyland 'original mix'"?

Thanks!

release title: fairyland
track title: fairyland "original mix"
song title: fairyland

conversation:
A: have you heard fairyland?
B: i've heard the song, but not the "original mix"

"c/w" is not usually paired with the title
in cases such as INSPIRE, it is labeled on the cover for advertisement purposes

Ah, I see. I wanted to know so I could properly tag them on iTunes, so would this be correct?

hahahahahahah...AHS filtered out S.H.I.T from the title :eviltongu

I think it's only "fairyland" as the single name, since "c/w alterna" isn't on the cover.

One question I want to ask is whether the INSPIRE single would be "INSPIRE" or "INSPIRE c/w GAME" since "INSPIRE c/w GAME" is on the cover. o_O

^ Well I guess it´s Inspire c/w Game ^^

I heard it was called fairyland c/w alterna. ::Shrugs::

So does this mean that Alterna is a Bside or a c/w side?

c/w sides get more attenion
B sides are just there as filler space

Okay, now I'm lost. That's quite confusing. LOL.

LOL! It is kind of confusing >_<

i did it this way:

um no. There is a diffrence between c/w and bside. For example Inspire c/w Game. If Game was a Bside it wouldn't get a PV and as much attention as it did compared to something like Heat from Koda Kumi which most people haven't even heard of.

actually, i think Delirium-Zer0 is right on this one. for example, BoA's "LISTEN TO MY HEART" single says "c/w Snow White & LISTEN TO MY HEART (English ver.)," and neither of the "coupling with" songs have PVs (Snow White wasn't even featured on BoA's debut album). another example is with BoA's "kimochi wa tsutawaru" single which has on the cover "coupling with Next Step." "Next Step" didn't get a PV and again, never made it on any album.

however, if you look on utada hikaru's "COLORS" single, it has "Simple & Clean" as a B-side, which didn't have a PV, but was definitely given more attention than "COLORS" because of its use in the promotion for "Kingdom Hearts."

so in the end, b-sides and c/w's have no importance over one another. they're the same. equality for all (songs)! ;)

btw, isn't B-side used in j-pop? i mean, Do As Infinity has an album entitled "Do the B-Side" :eyebrow weird :D

i think original mix shows that the track in the single is original ^^

shouldn't we just look at the cover? :|

i think the most accurate thing to look at would be the spine. Not the OBI spine, the case spine.

Yeah, BoA's b-sides are Snow white, Realize (stay with me), earthsong and NEXT STEP.

well if you're going to go by the OBI, then it's "fairyland c/w alterna"

Either way is fine.
The only reason why they put "original mix" is because in singles u'll be expected to see some mixes of the song so they put "original mix" so that u'll know which is the original version of the song.
And the reason why they nv indicate "original mix" is of cos very simple... U cant expect them to indicate on every song that it's original right?

i have the CD and CD+DVD versions, the OBIs only say 'fairyland' ... I can see where you are confused, because on the front part of the OBI (not the spine) it does say 'fairyland c/w alterna' ... and of course to add to the confusion, the DISC itself does read 'fairyland c/w alterna' ... jeez, and the cover just says fairyland. But for all cataloguing purposes the spine is regarded as the end-all for official titles - and the spine simply says fairyland.

further more, there are only about 3 ayu singles that i do not own at this point, and nothing is EVER offically credited with "c/w..." (on the spine, that is)

and deli, i'm going to be checking up on that b-side reference ... i know we've had this tuff before. oh yes, that was over the term "A-Side" ... the "Shine We Are!" single from BoA actually credited itself as a double a-side, while we all know Earthsong kindof vanished into obscurity shortly thereafter. (why did i just go into that?)

I guess sometimes we forget that the japanese are using a language that they're not native to for almost all of their releases ¬¬*it adds confusion to native english speakers who can notice discrepancies so easily.

and as far any ayumi anything goes, statements made by myself or deli should be regarded as canon ... don't you guys know that by now?

STEP you / is this LOVE?

ring any bells? ;)
