Miyuki Nakajima chronology

Aishiteiru to Ittekure (愛していると云ってくれ) is the fourth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, released in April 1978.

Five months before the album came out, she topped on the Oricon singles chart with a song "The Parting Song (Wakareuta)", which was released as her fifth single in September 1977.^[1] The album features her commercial breakthrough single and another well-known song, "World's Context (Sejou)". The latter was later featured in the second series of TV drama Kimpachi Sensei aired on TBS in 1980,^[2] and became known widely as one of her signature songs.

Aishiteiru to Ittekure has been her longest charting album on the Oricon, because the album re-entered the chart when "World's Context" was featured on TV program in the early 1980s.^[3]
