New Horizon is the fifteenth solo studio album by Japanese guitarist Tak Matsumoto, of B'z fame. It is an instrumental album (except for "Feel Like a Woman Tonite", with guest vocals by American singer Wendy Moten[1]) and it was released by Vermillion Records on April 30, 2014 in Japan. The album debuted at number 3 on both the Japanese Oricon weekly album chart[2] and the Billboard Japan album chart.[3]
Some tracks of the album are not new; the title track was featured in a series of commercials by Japanese transportation company Sagawa Express, "Black Jack" is a rerecorded version of the Black Jack Special theme song, and "Rain" had been already performed live during their 25th anniversary tour.[1] The album also features three covers: "Take 5", which had already been covered in Matsumoto's debut solo album Thousand Wave, and two other tracks by Japanese musicians, the only tracks with Japanese-language titles.[1]
The American and European editions come with a slightly different track list (with "Take 5" as the opening track and the title track coming next) and the two Japanese-language titled tracks translated to English
Paul Brown - recording and engineering on tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10; mixing on tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10; arrangement on "Feel Like a Woman Tonite"
