is the debut album of Japanese singer-songwriter Sachiko Kanenobu, released on September 1, 1972 by URC (Underground Record Club) Records. Joni Mitchell, Donovan and Pentangle were among Kanenobu's influences. The songs have been described as "capturing Kanenobu's distinct youthful innocence, her fascination with nature, and a longing for inner peace." Released in Japan with no concerts to promote it, Misora achieved commercial success in Japan but soon slipped into obscurity. The science fiction author Philip K. Dick, a friend of Kanenobu's fiancée Paul Williams, was impressed by the album, and would later produce a single ("Fork in the Road / Tokyo Song") with Kanenobu. Misora garnered a cult following in the years since its release, drawing comparisons with the work of Mitchell. It was reissued in 1995 to acclaim, and Light in the Attic Records also reissued the album (as part of the label's Japan Archival Series) on July 19, 2019, with English translations of the lyrics by Kanenobu.
