Six titles of Miho Nakayama's album works, including her first analog version, will be released on color vinyl.



This is the sixth studio album, released on February 10, 1988. The original LP product number is K28A-850. Produced by Toshiki Kadomatsu, it contains a total of 10 songs, including the album version of "CATCH ME," which reached number one on the single charts. Toshiki Kadomatsu composed seven of the 10 songs and wrote the lyrics for six of them, including "SHERRY" (lyrics and music by Toshiki Kadomatsu), a coupling song for "You're My Only Shinin' Star" (not included on this album), which was released as a single one week after the album's release. The album powerfully features the sound of Kadomatsu at the height of his career, when he was still very active as a musician, and Nakayama Miho's singing beautifully expresses the fragrance and speed of a beautiful, shining city night. Two other songs are written by Masaki Yui and composed by Sato Hiroshi, and one song is written by Saito Kensaku, who was active in the Jadoos, and composed by Fujisawa Hideki. The first track on SIDE-B, "CATCH ME", is the theme song for the Fuji TV drama "Ohima Nara Kiteyo ne!", set in a long-established restaurant in Mukojima, Tokyo, in which Nakayama Miho plays two roles. It was released in October 1987 and reached number one on the singles charts. The album version is included on this album.

This is the seventh studio album, released on July 11, 1988, just five months after the previous album, "CATCH THE NITE". The original LP product number is K28A-860. Of the 12 tracks on the album, three were composed by Toshinobu Kubota, and many of the other tracks were composed by Toshinobu Kubota's production team at the time, including Ichiro Haneda and Takuo Sugiyama. In addition, there are songs composed by KITARO and Koji Nakamura, and two songs (one of which was co-written with Ichiro Haneda) by singer-songwriter CINDY, who continues to work with Nakayama on songs even after the release of this album. Nakayama Miho herself wrote the lyrics and music for the track "Long Distance to The Heaven" (SIDE 2-5) under the name of Mizuho Kitayama, and she also wrote the lyrics for "Into The Crowd" which opens SIDE 1. Other lyricists include Kawamura Masumi, known for Kubota Toshinobu's songs, Serizawa Rui, who has worked on many of Nakayama Miho's songs, and Yasushi Chika, and the songs of this album are developed with a Western approach, making the theme of this album, "summer," even more danceable and emotional. Nakayama Miho, who was only 18 years old at the time, conveys various scenes and emotions that color the summer with her fresh sensibility and expressiveness, including "In The Morning," the coupling song of the single "Mermaid" (not included in this album), released at the same time, as well as "I Know" and "Moonlight Sexy Dance".

This is the eighth original album, released on December 5, 1988, 10 months after the previous album "CATCH THE NITE" and only 5 months after the previous album "Mind Game". In 1988 alone, they released a total of four albums at a high pace, including three original albums and the remix album "Makin' Dancin'". The original LP product number is K28A-880. The album version of "Witches", the 14th single released in November the previous month and which reached number one on the charts, is included. A total of nine songs are included, and the collaboration with CINDY, who provided songs for the previous album, is deepened. Five songs, including the opening song "Sweetest Lover", are composed by CINDY, and one song is written by CINDY and composed by Yuji Toriyama. The lyrics for "Sweetest Lover" were written by Nakayama Miho herself under the name Kitayama Mizuho, and it was used as the theme song for her radio show "P.S. I LOVE YOU". Other lyrics include six by Chinfa Kan and one by Masami Tozawa, and the production team includes Yuji Toriyama, Kunio Muramatsu, Hiroshi Narumi, and Ichiro Hada. If the previous album "Mind Game" was a summer-themed album, this album expresses a more urban, more mature, and stylish worldview, with songs like "Bad Girl" and "Try Or Cry" reminiscent of late autumn and winter.

The ninth original studio album, released on September 5, 1989. The original LP product number was 292A-50. This album was released following the release of the best album "Ballads", a collection of ballads, in March 1989. The title means "hide and seek" in English. It includes a newly recorded version of "You're My Only Shinin' Star", which was released as a single in February 1988 and reached number one on the charts, titled "Present from Miho," and an edited version of "Virgin Eyes", the latest single at the time of release. This was the first original album to reach number one on the charts since "Catch the Night" was released in 1988. In addition to "Virgin Eyes" (lyrics by Yoshimoto Yumi), which was provided by singer-songwriter Anri, the production team included CINDY, Toriyama Yuji, Kobayashi Shingo, Ogura Yasuharu, and Otani Kazuo, and the album includes "Island Blue" composed by Nakanishi Keizo, two songs with lyrics written by Nakayama Miho herself ("Hide'n'Seek" and "Island Blue"), and two songs she wrote and composed ("Endless My First Love" and "Split Love"). Of the five tracks on SIDE-1, the funky, uplifting songs by CINDY, who composed and produced tracks 1-4, are sandwiched between the medium tempo ballad "Endless My First Love", written by Nakayama Miho herself, which closes SIDE-1. SIDE-2 then develops into urban contemporary songs composed by Anri and Nakanishi Keizo, and ends with the hit number "You're My Only Shinin' Star", written and composed by Kadomatsu Toshiki, in a structure befitting the final original release on analog LP.

The 12th original studio album, released on July 18, 1990. This is the first time it has been released on LP, and due to the CD recording time at the time of release, it will be released as a 45 rpm 2-disc set with higher sound quality. The album title is a combination of Jewel, which means "jewel" in English, and Luna, which means "moon" in Latin. It was co-produced by Matsui Goro, who wrote the lyrics for 7 of the 10 songs, and Nakayama Miho, who wrote the lyrics and music for 3 songs ("Kuchibiru", "Soshite Sono Natsu", and "Tengoku e no Kagi"). The single "Goddesses' Adventures", which was released at the same time, is included in the album version, and "Kore ni I Love You", composed by Sakiya Kenjiro, which was released as a single in a different version in 1991 after the album release, is also included. Other composers included Saito Hideo, Hayashida Kenji, Nakanishi Keizo & Konishi Takao, giving the album a breath of fresh air. The album opens with "Kuchibiru," written and sung by Nakayama Miho, which evokes the feeling of a fresh summer breeze. It includes ambitious songs such as the gorgeous "Banban Jewel," which ties in with the album's title, and the comfortable "La Mer of the White Sand," with its bossa nova touch. Like "SUMMER BREEZE" (3rd album) and "Mind Game" (7th album), this is an album themed around summer.
