Ten-Sei (転生) is the 33rd studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, released in November 2005.
Like some previous albums 10 Wings, Hi -Wings- and Tsuki -Wings-, Tensei is composed of the songs Nakajima wrote for her experimental musical Yakai. All the materials appeared on the album were originally performed on Yakai Vol. 14: "24-Ji Chaku 0-Ji Hatsu" which was taken place at the Bunkamura Theatre Cocoon during January 2004. Except "The Mirage Hotel" which was already included on her 2003 Love Letter (Koibumi) album (Ten-Sei features newly arranged version of a song), most of the songs appeared on the studio album for the first time.
From the album, "For Those Who Can't Go Home" was later released as a single (flip side was live recording version of "Relay of the Soul" which was taken from Yakai). It was featured as a theme song for the television drama Kemonomichi (adaptation of the novel written by Seicho Matsumoto) starring Ryoko Yonekura and aired on TV Asahi in 2006.[1] "Relay of the Soul" was also used in the drama series called On'na no Ichidaiki aired on Fuji TV during autumn 2005.[2]
