{{nihongo|Aishiteiru to Ittekure|愛していると云ってくれ|}} is the fourth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima, released in April 1978.
Five months before the album came out, she topped on the Oricon singles chart with a song "The Parting Song (Wakareuta)", which was released as her fifth single in September 1977.{{cite web|url=http://www18.ocn.ne.jp/~hbr/JP1_e.htm |title=List of number-one singles on the Oricon chart in Japan |work=Original Confidence |language=Japanese |accessdate=2008-10-21 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081226082219/http://www18.ocn.ne.jp/~hbr/JP1_e.htm |archivedate=2008-12-26 }} The album features her commercial breakthrough single and another well-known song, "World's Context (Sejou)". The latter was later featured in the second series of TV drama Kimpachi Sensei aired on TBS in 1980,{{cite web| url=http://www.kyoto-wel.com/item/IS81212N01150.html| title= Production details of the DVD Kimpachi Sensei; Second Series| language=Japanese|accessdate=2008-10-21| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20080920000938/http://www.kyoto-wel.com/item/IS81212N01150.html| archivedate= 20 September 2008 | url-status= live}} and became known widely as one of her signature songs.
Aishiteiru to Ittekure has been her longest charting album on the Oricon, because the album re-entered the chart when "World's Context" was featured on TV program in the early 1980s.{{cite web|url=http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~yamag/album/al_nakajima.htmlき|title=- Yamachan Land (Archives of the Japanese record charts) - Albums Chart Daijiten - Miyuki Nakajima|language=Japanese|date=December 30, 2007|accessdate=October 25, 2009}}{{Dead link|date=September 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
