''East Asia'' is the 20th studio album recorded by Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, released in October 1992. The album features "Shallow Sleep (Asai Nemuri)", a hit single released in July 1992. Nakajima wrote the song as a theme for ''Shin'ai Naru Mono e'', a television drama that she made guest appearance as a doctor. ''Shin'ai Naru Mono e's ''themes song'' ''peaked at #2 on the Japan's Oricon chart in summer of 1992, and thus became her first single. This song has sold more than a million copies. Prior to the release of the album ''Shin'ai Naru Mono e'', the songs "Two Boats" and "Haginohara" were already performed on ''Yakai'', which are experimental theaters Nakajima has performed annually since 1989. "Thread (Ito)" is a love song Nakajima dedicated to Zenji Nakayama, a later leader of Tenrikyo who got married at that time. In 1998, it was featured on the television drama ''Seija no Koushin'' and was also released as a double A-Side single with "Another Name for Life". This song has become well-known through a cover version recorded by the Bank Band, a project which Kazutoshi Sakurai and Takeshi Kobayashi launched for a charity. Their interpretation, featuring Sakurai's vocals, was included on their 2004 ''Soushi Souai'' album. In December 1992, ''East Asia'' won the 34th Japan Record Awards for 10 Excellent Albums, which is a prize that honors ten exceptional studio albums.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= History of the Japan Record Awards - List of the 34th Award Winners )〕 ==Track listing== All songs written and composed by Miyuki Nakajima, arranged by Ichizo Seo (except "East Asia" co-arranged by David Campbell) #"East Asia" - 6:48 #"" - 4:39 #"" - 5:21 #"" - 6:35 #"" - 6:49 #"" - 4:49 #"" - 4:39 #"" - 8:12 #"" - 5:07 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「East Asia (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
