***Ten-Sei*** (転生) is the 33rd studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter [Miyuki Nakajima](/source/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](/source/Bunkamura) Theatre Cocoon during January 2004. Except "The Mirage Hotel" which was already included on her 2003 *[Love Letter (Koibumi)](/source/Love_Letter_(Miyuki_Nakajima_album))* 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](/source/Film_adaptation) of the novel written by [Seicho Matsumoto](/source/Seicho_Matsumoto)) starring [Ryoko Yonekura](/source/Ryoko_Yonekura) and aired on [TV Asahi](/source/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]
