"Saigo mo Yappari Kimi" (Japanese: 最後もやっぱり君, Hepburn: Saigo mo yappari kimi) is the 15th single song by Kis-My-Ft2, released on November 11, 2015, by Avex Trax.[1]

Overview

This is the theme song for the movie World of Delight, in which Tamamori stars.[2] They perform a sign language performance in the music video, inspired by the handicap of the film's heroine.[3]

This song is a love ballad by Tsunku for Kis-My-Ft2 about a man's pure love.[4] Tsunku wrote the song based on his understanding of the movie's content, which is themed on a love story.[4] Tsunku said, "In writing this song, I expressed the pure love of a man. When I was writing the song, I was thinking about the bonds between human hearts and minds,[5] including family and friendship, and I was very surprised that the song turned out to be much stronger and much more tender than the love song I had in mind when I wrote it."[5] Hiromitsu Kitayama commented that he was so moved when he first heard this song that he almost teared up.[4]

This is the second consecutive two-month release with the previous one. Like the previous work, it is available in three forms: first pressing limited edition, standard edition, and Kis-My-Ft2 Shop limited edition. Kis-My-Talk is not included in the rental version.[1]
