Aishiteiru to Ittekure (愛していると云ってくれ) is the fourth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, released in April 1978.
Five months before the album came out, she topped on the Oricon singles chart with a song "The Parting Song (Wakareuta)", which was released as her fifth single in September 1977. The album features her commercial breakthrough single and another well-known song, "World's Context (Sejou)". The latter was later featured in the second series of TV drama Kimpachi Sensei aired on TBS in 1980, and became known widely as one of her signature songs.
Aishiteiru to Ittekure has been her longest charting album on the Oricon, because the album re-entered the chart when "World's Context" was featured on TV program in the early 1980s.
