Koichi Nishikawa Self Selection

[Machine Translation] October 2007 marks the 20th anniversary of Unicorn's debut. The group is well known for the many masterpieces that have been produced not only by the group but also by the individual members themselves, as they were a group of people with exceptional personalities and talents. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of their debut, a total of 7 CD & DVD titles highlighting each member will be released simultaneously! This is the best album of Koichi Kawanishi's work as the drummer of VANILLA, who debuted as the drummer of Unicorn and later became the drummer of VANILLA with "Give Me Love", and is still active as the drummer of JET-KI. The album, selected and supervised by Kawanishi himself, chronicles his career, from the songs he wrote and composed during his Unicorn days to the songs he released under the name "Koichi Nishikawa" from "Liquid Man" to the songs he composed during his VANILLA days. The booklet includes an interview with Koichi Kawanishi himself.
