Naniwa Express! A super instrumental band that has been an integral part of the jazz fusion scene. In fact, in 2022, they will celebrate the 45th anniversary of their formation and the 40th anniversary of their debut. After a hiatus in 1986, the band made a full comeback in '02.' The album "THIS is IT!", which was difficult to find for a long time, has been reissued with the latest remastering and UHQCD specification. The heavy groove of Rikiya & Dennis' explosive twin drumming is a must-hear! This is the band's seventh original album. If "life of music" released the year before was a test run for the band's resurrection, this album is the one that finally shows off the band's full potential. The power and sense of style of this album is astonishing, and makes us think that it may surpass their previous works before they broke up.The quality of the original songs recorded on the album is extremely high, and it is clear that the creativity of the individual members was also at a high level of fulfillment.

The power of his twin drumming with Rikiya Higashihara drove the band to full throttle."
