Goodbye Girl (Miyuki Nakajima album)

Goodbye Girl (グッバイ ガール, Gubbai Gāru^?) is the 16th studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, released in November 1988.

The album includes "Namida", her own rendition of a song Nakajima originally wrote for Kiyoshi Maekawa. The song released as a single before the album came out was the first material which was co-produced by Ichizo Seo, whom has been her long-term collaborator since then.

The album has commercially failed, although it debuted at the number-one on the Oricon Chart for the first time in 3 years.
