The song was first certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan as a full-length cellphone download a year and a seven months after its release, followed by a platinum certification a year and four months later. As of May 2011, it is the only Radwimps song to receive a platinum certification. ==Composition and writing== The song is simply arranged with a band arrangement, however increases with complexity over time. Later in the song, vocal distortion is introduced, instruments are played more frantically, with drum and bass sounds increasing during the final stages of the song. The song ends with an instrumental outro, featuring distorted guitar sounds. Two versions of the song exist, the single version as well as the found on ''Radwimps 4: Okazu no Gohan''. The lyrics of the song begin with the song's protagonist wondering if he should express his feelings to a girl. He describes how unique the girl is, such as that her beauty is "the greatest genetic change of this century." The pair begin to date, and the protagonist begins to think about the relationship. At first, he states how he cannot believe in miracles, but feels that him meeting his lover makes him want to believe in miracles. He feels that their relationship is beautiful and wonderful, because his lover calls it a miracle. At one point in the song, the protagonist wants to write , but instead of reading it ''kimi'', reading it as the word , as well as writing and reading it as the word . He feels like nothing could separate them if they do this. At another point, the song references the Japanese divination style Rokusei Senjutsu. The protagonist's lover insists that that the protagonist's destiny star is Jupiter, and that hers is Mars, and that he is at the (misfortune time) at the end of his six-year cycle. The protagonist says that he's actually an earth person (instead of a person with destiny linked to a planet), but no matter if that's true, or if his destiny star is Jupiter, it's only one planet away from Mars. According to vocalist and songwriter Yojiro Noda, "Futarigoto" along with the band's next single, "Yūshinron", took an amazing amount of effort to create. "Futarigoto" was written and recording sessions for it began even before ''Radwimps 3: Mujintō ni Motte Ikiwasureta Ichimai'' was released. The song initially came simply, and it was intended to be on the album, however the band members could not work out how to finish it.〔 The song was recorded during the same sessions as "Setsuna Rensa"'s B-side, "By My Side".〔 The band's 2009 album, ''Altocolony no Teiri'', features an answer song to "Futarigoto," called "Märchen to Gretel." The song features a reprise of the writing characters but pronouncing them as different words for love lyric, and is a response to the promise in "Futarigoto" about how someday a song will be sung about how successful that technique was. Noda was unsure why he made such a promise at the time of writing "Futarigoto." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Futarigoto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
