Hatsuiku Status songs sound so different from SR and TJ's work. I wouldnt know how to decide among that material either. alot of fans havent heard it. i cant remember most of it!

In most collectors' circles, these are not called b-sides, but "rarities" (one-off tracks featured on compilations, bonus tracks, tracks from OOP releases, etc.). Another SR "rarity" would be "put your camera down", which has had a similar history to Ichijiku no Hana.
Anyway, here's my top 10's, including strictly b-sides and excluding ZCS. I had a particularly hard time judging SR's stuff, as you could imagine. I mean, these b-sides are all so amazing and yet have such separate goals, it's difficult to even compare.

Solo
Memai
Aozora
Suberidai
17
Σ
Aisaika no Choushoku
SG ~Superficial Gossip~
Unconditional Love
Ringo Catalogue
Rinne Highlight

TJ
Rakujitsu
Rakujitsu (← This is how much TJ needed this song.)
Kokoro
Kao
Pinocchio
Koi wa Maboroshi
B.B. Queen
Karada
Sono Onna Fushidara ni Tsuki
Dynamite

gah, I don't want to be super annoying, but I've noticed a lot of people doing this...

Original version: Tokyo no Onna
Ringo's cover: Tokyo no Hito

this has been confirmed numerous times and places with furigana ruby text, etc etc. I don't know why she did this but she did. Her song is "Tokyo no Hito"... "Onna" is nowhere (just in the kanji behind it, which is indicated to be pronounced "Hito").

thanks, sorry. :x

I've heard often that all of The Peanuts' onna kanji songs were pronounced "hito", which is supported by the Japanese wikipedia page -- so it goes for the original too.

Oh? Well then that would explain why Ringo insisted on that furigana then! So it's never "Tokyo no Onna" but always "Tokyo no Hito"! woww.

Well, if we take it a step further and talk about self-covers...
Kurumaya-San:
Koi Wa Maboroshi:
C'mon, Let's Go :
TJ's "Ringo No Uta":

...I'd have to go with Ringo because yeah, I actually do like HF. In its' entirety.

"C'mon let's go" is nice.

[Tokyo Jihad]

its also not a b-side.

Are there some viral Barbee Boys marketers trolling the forums?
