Lullaby for the Soul (心守歌, Kokoromoriuta) is the 29th studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, released in September 2001.

As a follow-up to a double A-Side single "Earthly Stars (Unsung Heroes)"/"Headlight, Taillight", Lullaby for the Soul was greeted with relatively high anticipation. It debuted at No. 3 on the Oricon chart in its first week (highest position since her 1996 compilation Daiginjyō which became her last No. 1 hit), although it quickly fell off the top 100 with physical sales of less than 100,000 copies in total.[1] A music video of the opening track was produced to promote the album, and it was later issued on compilation DVD Utahime: Live in L.A. in 2004.
