Jidai (時代), subtitled Time Goes Around, is the twenty-first studio album and fourth self-cover album by Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, released in October 1993.[1] Like previous releases such as Okaerinasai and Change (Oiro Naoshi), the album mainly consists of songs which she wrote for other singers.
It features a re-recording of her song "Jidai", used as the theme for the 1970 Osaka Expo,[2] and "Doukoku", originally written for Shizuka Kudo and used for the TV drama Ano Hi ni Kaeritai.[3]
