A Scenery Like Me (ア・シーナリー・ライク・ミー, A Shīnarī Raiku Mī) is a self-cover album by Chara, which was released on February 18, 2004. It debuted at #27 on the Japanese Oricon album charts, and charted in the top 300 for 5 weeks.[1] It eventually sold 19,000 copies.

The album features new versions of material from her first four studio albums, Sweet, Soul Kiss, Violet Blue and Happy Toy; as well as two new songs, Ao (青, Blue) and Ai no Hikōsen (愛の飛行船, Blimp of Love). The new versions featured a stripped down arrangement, self-produced by Chara and performed with her band.[2]

Two songs were used as promotional tracks. The self-cover of Are wa ne (あれはね, Is That Right) was used as a radio single, and a music video was filmed for it. The self-cover of Tsumibukaku Aishite yo (罪深く愛してよ, Love Me Sinfully) was used as the opening theme song for the NHK interview show Mayonaka no Ōkoku (真夜中の王国, Midnight Kingdom).
