come again is a cover of the 2001 single by m-flo, the pioneering Japanese hip-hop and R&B unit formed by LISA, VERBAL, and ☆Taku Takahashi (Taku of the production duo ☆Taku Takahashi). Originally released as m-flo's twelfth single on January 17, 2001, the track became one of the group's defining songs, a smooth, club-ready blend of rap verses, sung R&B hooks, and a house-inflected beat locked at 130 BPM. The cover version entered maimai on day one of the game's arcade debut, July 11, 2012, placing it among the very first songs ever playable in the series. Over its lifespan, come again has passed through three genre classifications within maimai: it launched as J-POP, was reclassified as POPS during the GreeN and ORANGE PLUS era, and has resided under POPS & ANIME (ポップス＆アニメ) since maimai PiNK, a quiet record of the game's shifting category system. Outside Sega's arcade ecosystem, the original come again recording also appears in Konami's REFLEC BEAT and jubeat, making this one of a small number of tracks bridging the two major Japanese rhythm-game families. In-game, the song underwent a visual refresh when maimai DX launched: the original jacket was replaced with a new illustration, and the animated background video was retired in favor of a static jacket display. The Expert chart was designed by 譜面-100号 (Fumen -100 gou) and the Master chart by ニャイン (Nyain). Both have been re-leveled multiple times across versions, the Master chart eventually settled at level 12 with a constant of 12.4 during the DX era, making it a solid upper-intermediate challenge for its era.
