New Love (B'z album)

New Love is the twenty-first studio album by the Japanese rock duo B'z. It was released on May 29, 2019, about a year and a half after their previous album Dinosaur. It is the first B'z album to not have an accompanying single, though music videos were produced for "Tsuwamono, Hashiru", "Wolf", and "Majestic".

The album debuted at number one on the Oricon weekly albums chart and on the Billboard Japan album chart.

The album comes in three editions: A standard CD edition, a vinyl edition, and a limited edition box set featuring the CD with a t-shirt featuring the album art.

"Wolf" was used as the ending theme for the Japanese TV show Suits. "Majestic" was used in a Pocky commercial and "Tsuwamono, Hashiru" was used in commercials for Lipovitan to support the Japan national rugby union team.
