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

[AyuMayu]

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!

[h1608]

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

[AyuMayu]

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

I think the only ayu single with more than one song title in the title of the single was LOVE ~Destiny~/LOVE ~since 1999~ (at least based on what's on the spine)... the reissue wasn't titled like that, i don't think o_O

[[taskin.ayu]]

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

[[AHS]MortalSex]

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

[greggerz189]

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

[elepop]

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

[AyuMayu]

LOL! It is kind of confusing >_<

j-nerd, in jpop, b-sides and c/w's are basically the same thing. c/w just means songs-besides-the-title-track. The poker face single says poker face c/w FRIEND on the cover. b-side isn't really a term in jpop (though a-side is for some reason, but really only on multiple a-side singles like A, H, and &... really a single is only ever considered a multiple a-side of all included songs are in the title or if the title is different from the first full song on the single).

As for a single's official title, it's better to go by what the spine or obi says, since that's not really using any design conventions. Alot of times the graphic designer will put the c/w song's name on the cover just cuz they think it'll look nice there. The spine is no-nonsense, artist and title. Maybe a nice font. that's about it.

The spine just says fairyland, then it's just called fairyland.

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" weird

[kournikova]

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

[lotusoka]

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.

[greggerz189]

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