Mi-ha (ミーハー, Mīhā) is the second studio album by Japanese singer/songwriter Chisato Moritaka, released on March 25, 1988 by Warner Pioneer. In contrast to the city pop-oriented debut album New Season, Mi-ha is a mix of rock and pop tunes, with its tagline: "Rock? Pop? Whichever is fine." (ロック?ポップス?どっちでもいいや, "Rokku? Poppusu? Dotchi demo ī ya"). The album also marked Moritaka's songwriting debut with the title track.[1][2]

The album peaked at No. 17 on Oricon's albums chart.[3]
