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" that became an enduring seller, Lullaby for the Soul was greeted with relatively high anticipation. It debuted at #3 on the Oricon chart in first week (highest position since her 1996 compilation Daiginjyō which became last #1 hit), although it quickly fell off the top 100 with physical sales of less than 100,000 copies in total.[1]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.
