What singles have b-sides that were never released on an album?

[AyusakiFan]

Hello! It was recently brought to my attention that some of Ayu's singles have b-sides that never made it to an album. I'm not one to really collect every single but I do collect them if they have exclusive songs that can only be found on the single alone. Which singles have b-sides that were never released on an album?

Vogue had Ever Free
& had Theme of A-Nation '03 but it was put in A BALLADS
Startin'/Born to Be... had teens a cover of TRF
glitter/ fated had Secret but it was put in Secret
Mirrorcle World had Life

[Catzi]

Depend on you has Two of us.
vogue has ever free
& has theme of a'nation '03
LOVE~Destiny~ was only a single, and it included LOVE~Since1999~. Similar to Mirrorcle World with Life.

I think those are it.

Thank you so much! Now that I've finished collecting her studio albums, I'll focus on getting these singles and the A BALLADS album as well!

Theme of a-nation 03 was NOT on A BALLADS. Lol.

Actually, teens was put on an album, just not an ayu album. It was thrown on to TRF's lif-e-motions album. "teens meets Ayumi Hamasaki". It's an ayu cover of the same song by the same band released back in 1995 on their "Happening Here/Teens" single. Then they made an acoustic version of it and put it on her Startin' single.

These are all of her b-sides in chronological order. the ones in bold are the ones that never made it to an album.

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. teens "acoustic version"*
10. Beautiful Fighters
11. Secret
12. decision
13. Life
14. RED LINE ~for TA~

*I'm a bit iffy with this one because the original version was never released in ayu's discography (but it was in TRF's since it is a cover). The song on the Startin'/Born to Be... single is "teens (acoustic version)" which is obviously not "teens (Original Mix)" but I threw it up there anyways because neither it, nor the original mix ever made it onto an ayu album.

Gosh.. I can't even remember what Theme of A-nation '03 sounds like. I shouldn't be able to call myself a fan.

I wasn't sure if you wanted to include great song versions that are only on singles...

The Green/Days and Mirrorcle World singles are a great buy because they have special 10th Anniversary tracks. These are: To Be, Love: Destiny, Depend On You, and You.

'A Song Is Born' single contains her duet with Keiko. This version does not appear on any of Ayu's albums

Also, if you are only counting her Studio albums there is one song that appears only on it's single and her 'A Complete'. That song is 'Endless Sorrow'. Her studio album 'I am...' has the ~gone with the wind version~.

'A Complete' also has her Chinese version of 'Who' Great song!

Since the original version of "teens" isn't on the Startin'/Born to Be single, I'm a bit iffy about buying the single just to get an acoustic version of a song. But at the same time, I don't want to buy TRF's Lif-e-motions album just to get it either. I might just download it.
