By the way, I've always wondered what "c/w" stands for?

c/w = "coupled with"

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It might help clear up some confusion for others..

I guessed that "c/w" meant "coupled with" ^^;;

Thank you for explaining.

As for as I know in Western music industry, b-sides refer to songs that appear in the single that is not the single title track. They have chances to appear in the album.

But the thing is, it's Japanese music industry. fairyland c/w alterna is just the the way how they call the single. Moreover after seeing song titles like Greatful days and STEP you, I don't really care now. As long as the song is good.
