Billy Banban's 31st and 32nd singles were released on November 7, 2007 and August 26, 2009. It was also released as Fuyumi Sakamoto's 37th single on January 7, 2009, and Fuyumi Sakamoto's version was aired as a commercial song for "Iichiko" from November 2008. Lyrics: Matsui Goro Composition and Arrangement: Mori Masaaki Matsui, who wrote the lyrics, said the following in an interview. Woman: At first, I only knew the chorus of this song, so I thought, "Maybe he's fallen in love again with a classmate he met at a class reunion after a long time." Then, when I listened to the whole song, I realized it was a song about a married couple. It's just so erotic. Matsui: Well, not a married couple, but a middle-aged couple. It doesn't necessarily have to be a married couple. Woman: I see. But even so, isn't the expression "touching cheeks as if it's the first time" also erotic (laughs)? Matsui: I didn't write it with that intention (laughs). As I said before, the first line of the lyrics is visual. I thought about starting with a description of the scene, then expressing something sensory, or something that is conveyed through the skin. This song actually starts with the strong impact of the “a” sound. The chorus does the same. It just so happened that the part “To you again” was a good fit for this time of year. It’s actually a song that’s a little difficult to sing. Matsui: Also, the difference between a new and old sound is just the voiced consonant. “I’m still in love with you” sounds like a regret. Woman: “I’m in love with you again” and “I’m still in love with you” are quite different with the “ta” and “da” sounds. Was the word “I can still love you” in the second line of the chorus something you decided on from the beginning? Matsui: Yes. It’s the same melody, so I chose a similar sound. Matsui: It’s interesting that even though I wrote this song for a mature audience, elementary school and junior high school students also downloaded and listened to it. Even those children can relate to the two lines “I’m in love with you again, deeper than ever before/I can still love you, from the bottom of my heart.” "I'm in love with you again" is fine for two people who broke up last week, and some people even use this part as a ringtone on their cell phone. At the time, I thought that if you write a song for a certain number of fans, it will be a hit to a certain extent, but when it becomes a bigger hit, it's when people you don't expect think it's good and respond to it. Billy Banban said this in 2010. "I'm in love with you again" is a song that the brothers sang for their mother. Their 93-year-old mother would sometimes mutter to her husband (the brothers' father), who had passed away at the age of 91, "I want to see you again." The two sang the song because they wanted her to feel that "my husband is still with me." #I'm in love with you again #Haruna Kawaguchi
