Dé eaya (デ・イーヤ, De īya) is the 13th studio album by Japanese entertainer Miho Nakayama. Released through King Records on March 15, 1991, it is Nakayama's fourth studio release (after One and Only, Mind Game, and Merry Merry) to not feature a single. The album's title is derived from the Japanese word "De iiya" (でいいや, "No"), but stylized to sound Spanish to match the Latin music motif of the album.[1][2][3]
