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
are confusing.. :S
For example blue bird as single a side right? but it also had Beautiful Fighters >.<
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.
