Eien no Shuru1994

Under the Sun is the 16th studio album by a Japanese singer-songwriter Yōsui Inoue, released in September 1993.

Two songs "Gogatsu no Wakare" and "Make-Up Shadow" were released as a single prior to the album, and the latter became a massive hit.

"Make-Up Shadow" was featured as the theme song for Subarashikikana Jinsei, a television drama aired on Fuji TV. The music was composed by Jun Sato (who used the pseudonym Utsuru Ayame), and Inoue wrote the lyrics. A song became the highest charting single for Inoue, reaching the number-two on the Japanese Oricon Weekly Singles and selling in excess of 800,000 copies. Sato also arranged the song, and his arrangement won the 35th Japan Record Awards.

The album debuted at the number-one on the Japanese Oricon, and became his fifth chart-topping non-compilation album since 9.5 Carats released in 1984.

All songs written and composed by Yosui Inoue (except where indicated)
