JECICA is the first indies album by Michiyo. It was released on March 3, 2004, and is Heike Michiyo's first album after graduating from Hello! Project in 2002. It was released independently on the record label Sweet Hysteria Records under her new stage name, Michiyo (みちよ).

It was released in two versions: a 1st limited edition and a 2nd edition with different covers. The limited edition could only be ordered online (from her official record store), and came with a 24 page photobook, shot on location in Australia, and one of three signed photographs (one special candid shot (namajashin), or one of two normal candid shot).
