{{nihongo|"Ichiban Kirei na Watashi o"|一番綺麗な私を||"The Most Beautiful Me"}} is the thirty-second single by Japanese singer Mika Nakashima. Released on August 25, 2010, it was the theme song for the TBS TV series, {{Nihongo|Unubore Deka|うぬぼれ刑事||Conceited Detective}}.{{cite web|url=http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-6322|title=Mika Nakashima to perform two shows at Budokan|date=July 7, 2010|work=Oricon|publisher=Tokyograph|access-date=September 4, 2010}} Nakashima played the supporting role of Rie Hagurashi in the TV series.

This song has been noted for its "old-sounding" tune reminiscent of 20th-century Japanese pop songs, such as Teresa Teng's; J-pop hit songs have mostly been under the strong influence of electronic elements from the likes of synthpop, techno, hip hop and Eurobeat since the 1990s.[http://www.excite.co.jp/News/music/20100921/E1285025937564.html Mika Nakashima : "Ichiban Kirei na Watashi o Daitanoha Anata Desho?"] September 21, 2010 {{in lang|ja}}
