For You is the sixth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Tatsuro Yamashita, released in January 1982.

In 1980, the single Ride on Time became a hit, and the album of the same name. As a result, he would frequently hold live concerts throughout 1981. It was difficult to plan for the next album, but his band continued to improve as they performed live. With the success of his previous album, Yamashita said, "This album finally fulfills my dream from the time of Sugar Babe, I wanted to record as much as I wanted without worrying about budget and time".^[1]

When the album was released in 1982, it would become his second hit studio album, peaking at number one on the Oricon LP charts and two on the CT charts. This was also his last studio album under the AIR/RVC label. Later that year, he would marry Mariya Takeuchi on April 6. Originally, the song "Morning Glory" was written for Mariya Takeuchi's album Miss M. The songs "Sparkle" and "Loveland Island" were used as commercial songs for Suntory beer. Meanwhile, the song "Your Eyes" was used as a commercial song for Nissui starring Bunta Sugawara.

At this time, advances were made in car stereos and Walkman devices that made it possible for music to retain sufficient audio quality while on the go. The album was produced and promoted with this in mind to reinforce the resort pop feeling, going as far as making the slogan "Summer, the sea, Tatsuro!" officially cementing his image as the "Summer Song Guy".^[2] Originally, Yamashita was thinking of requesting Hiroshi Nagai to make the album cover. But at that time, he already decided to work on the album cover for Eiichi Ohtaki's album A Long Vacation. Eizin Suzuki instead worked on the album cover art.^[1]

In the 2002 reissue of the album, four bonus songs were added into the tracklist. One of the bonus tracks "Every Night" was originally from the album Miss M, Yamashita also recorded a cover of the song but ended up being unpublished, it was later remastered and was included in the reissue. In addition, Loveland, Island / Your Eyes was released as a single on the same year. The song Loveland, Island was used as the ending theme for the Japanese drama series The Long Love Letter.
