"Feel" is the third studio album by Japanese psychedelic-folk rock duo Nagisa Ni te. It was released in 2002 by Org Records. In 2002 P-Vine Records re-released this album followed by Jagjaguwar in 2002 for North American/Europe distribution.

Characterized by a very clear production sound, "Feel" can be regarded as one of their most acoustic. After Geographic's "Songs for a Simple Moment" compilation, "Feel" is among their first in western distribution as a studio release.
