Why this particular song didn't make it as a jingle for a Camellia Diamonds commercial is beyond me.
"Love Again" is from the golden-voiced singer-songwriter Keizo Nakanishi（中西圭三）early in his career. It served as the coupling song to his debut single "Tangerine Eyes"（タンジェリン・アイズ）from March 1991 and it was written by Masumi Kawamura（川村真澄）against Nakanishi's and Takao Konishi's（小西貴雄）melody. It's a cool and groovy ballad about second chances at love when a man meets his old flame by chance on the stairs leading into the subway. Just hearing the singer's voice soar in the refrain is enough to give me some of the chills that the couple must have felt on those stairs during the rainy evening.
Both "Love Again" and "Tangerine Eyes" are also on Nakanishi's May 1991 debut album "KEIZO ~ Kanawanai Yume mo Atta"（かなわない夢もあった...There Were Also Unfulfilled Dreams） which peaked at No. 57. I'll have to cover "Tangerine Eyes" sometime soon.
