is the fifth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, released in March 1979.
The album is best known for the track "Ōkami ni Naritai", which has been one of fan favorites and later included on the compilation album Daiginjo released in 1996. It gained another public attention in the late 1990s, through the TV ad for Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co.'s energy drink which features the song.
Shin-ai Naru Mono e was relatively successful upon its release, although there was no lead single before the album came out. It debuted at the number-three on the Oricon LP chart and climbed the summit of there in April 1979, providing her with the first number-one spot on the album chart.
