Rie's is an amazing musician! Not only does she play guitar. She writes all of her songs, programs, and plays all the instruments except drums. She usually employs Kanade Sato on Senri Kawaguchi. Both of them have recorded drums on multiple albums before turning 17 years of age. For 'World Journey 2' Kanade Sato plays drums on all tracks. There are many highlights on this album that show Rie's maturity as an instrumentalist. For me, Paris Dusk is my favorite. Rie slows her playing down and her beautiful soul shines through. I suggest this album as well as World Journey 1.
