It is shown that the oscillatory tail of the scalar field has the decay rate of t-5/6 at asymptotically late times, and the oscillation with the period 2π/m for the field mass m is modulated by the long-term phase shift. These behaviors are qualitatively similar to those found in a nearly extreme Reissner-Nordström background, which are discussed in terms of a resonant backscattering due to the space-time curvature. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
