New Horizon is the tenth studio album by Tak Matsumoto, set to be released on April 30, 2014. As with Tak's previous album Strings Of My Soul, the album is also scheduled for an international release at a later date and will again be produced by Tak alongside 335 Records' Paul Brown.

The promo image of Tak distributed with the announcement for the album's release. The album was titled New Horizon as it is a work in which Tak wanted to explore new avenues he had not yet taken in his musical career.

The album will be supported by Tak Matsumoto LIVE 2014 -New Horizon-. The tour, which will tour from May to June of 2014, is Tak's first true solo tour and will feature new and old support members for the shows, including Yoshinobu Ohga, who has worked with both Tak in his solo efforts as well as numerous recent B'z live outings.
