New Season (ニューシーズン, Nyū Shīzun) is the debut studio album by Japanese singer Chisato Moritaka, released on July 25, 1987 by Warner Pioneer. It was produced by Yūzō Shimada, who also produced albums by Akina Nakamori, Naomi Tamura, and Aco. At the time of the album's recording, Moritaka had not started to write songs; instead, the album's songs were written by several composers such as Hiromasa Ijichi, Hideo Saitō, and Shingo Kanno (of the band Orquesta de la Luz).[1][2]

The album peaked at No. 21 on Oricon's albums chart and sold over 43,000 copies.[3][4]
