Otogibanashi (おとぎばなし) (subtitled "Fairy Ring") is the 30th studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, released in October 2002. Like some efforts such as Jidai: Time Goes Around, it mainly consists of her compositions which had previously interpreted by other singers, or performed on the series of her musicals Yakai.

Nakajima had a duet with Masashi Sada on "You Reminds Me of...", a song they wrote for Ken Takakura and Nae Yuki in 1994.[1]
