Background[edit]
CD'87 was released to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Nakamori's debut. Also around that time, Nakamori was named "Artist of The Year" at the 1st Japan Gold Disc Awards.[1] The album was released only on CD, hence its name.
Cassette-tape only single "Nonfiction Ecstasy" was not included in CD'87 but rather in the following compilation album Best II. Best II would also include CD'87's four singles. In 2023, CD'87 was remastered and reissued, this time including "Nonfiction Ecstasy" as a bonus track.
