About 又〜も

又(また)~も is a combination of the adverb 又(また), a noun, and the adverbial particle も. It can be translated as 'moreover', 'additionally', or 'furthermore'. As も is being used, whatever is being said in (B) will usually be new information.

To use 又(また)~も, an (A) phrase will be stated, before 又(また) will open the (B) phrase, and then be followed by a noun + も.

Instead of も, でも or ても may be used for extra emphasis.

Fun Fact

The kanji 又(また) and 叉(また) share an interesting relationship. 又(また) is used to refer to things that reach a point of separation, but then fold back on themselves (being translated as 'again', or 'in addition'). On the other hand, 叉(また) refers to things that reach a point of separation, and then split (being translated as 'a fork in the road', or 'crotch').
