「眼淚不是裝飾品」作為1985年4月3日發行嘅中森嘅錄音室唱碟『BITTER AND SWEET』嘅先行細碟，喺1984年11月14日以細碟(EP: L-1666)形式發行。專輯『BITTER AND SWEET』入邊收錄咗呢首歌嘅專輯版。呢首歌係由井上陽水提供作詞作曲，由萩田光雄進行編曲嘅。監製是係繼「十戒 (1984)」嘅島田雄三，此外島田喺錄音室唱碟『BITTER AND SWEET』中都擔任了監製。對於中森嚟講呢首歌係由偶像型歌手成長成為歌手、藝人嘅一個轉捩點。呢首歌喺佢之後嘅作品入邊都有新收錄，譬如話1995年12月發行嘅精選專輯『true album akina 95 best』同埋2002年12月發行嘅精選集『Akina Nakamori〜歌姫ダブル・ディケイド』。2005年NHK實施嘅『スキウタ〜紅白みんなでアンケート〜』（紅白歌合戰投票）當中，「眼淚不是裝飾品」作為紅組第14位入圍。
"Tears Are Not Decorations" was released on November 14, 1984 as a precursor to Nakamori's studio album "BITTER AND SWEET" released on April 3, 1985 as a thin album (EP: L-1666). THE ALBUM VERSION OF THE SONG IS INCLUDED IN THE ALBUM "BITTER AND SWEET". This song was written and composed by Inoue Yosui, and arranged by Mitsuo Inoe. The executive producer was Yuzo Shimada, who succeeded "Ten Commandments (1984)", and Shimada also served as the executive producer on the studio album "BITTER AND SWEET". For Nakamori, this song is a turning point in the growth of an idol singer into a singer and an artist. This song has been newly included in his later works, such as the album "True Album Akina 95 Best" released in December 1995 and the compilation "Akina Nakamori〜歌呗ダブル・ディケイド" released in December 2002. In 2005, NHK implemented the "Red and White Songs" (Red and White Song Battle) (Red and White Song Battle), and "Tears Are Not Decorations" was shortlisted as the 14th in the Red Group.
