The minidisc in the adapter (from another minidisc, Orinoco Flow in single CD case)
I happened to get this Japanese minidisc! π₯° It was released in 1991, almost 35 years ago...
There are two pictures of Enya, a little description about her, and the music on the disc: Caribbean Blue (plus the lyrics) and Orinoco Flow, two of the best-known and loved Enya singles. π€πΆπβ‘

This seems to translate to (titles adjusted) :
Born in Ireland, Enya is a composer and singer who grew up speaking Gaelic and inherited pure Celtic blood from her music-loving parents. The story of her journey from debut to success is nothing short of a modern-day fairy tale. Her major-label debut album, βWatermarkβ, created through synthesiser performances and hundreds of vocal overdubs, was released in 1989 (when she was 26)\. Within less than six months, it reached No. 1 on the charts across the UK, Europe and Japan. After two years and eight months, her new album, βShepherd Moonsβ, has finally arrived. Once again, she has written all the songs herself and taken full responsibility for the sound production. Her vocals have gained a new maturity, and the sound has an overwhelming breadth. If you close your eyes, it is filled with such a wonderful presence that the Irish moors seem to spread out before you. Such is the first single, βCaribbean Blueβ. Accompanied by that sensational hit, βOrinoco Flow...β.*
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
*Enya was probably 26 when working on her album Watermark, but it was released when she was 27, in late 1988 (and in Japan, the album was released in February 1989). π
