# Jidai: Time Goes Around

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. 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 song for the 1970 Osaka Expo, and "Doukoku", originally written for Shizuka Kudo and used for the TV drama Ano Hi ni Kaeritai.
