PV of Calendula Requiem (the clip's not shot very well but this will do for now)



watch it now if you can endure those ranbid fangirls screaming at the backdrop LOL

hahaha. Oh fangirls. But the song sounds great. The collaboration turned out crazy cool, I really like the difference in style it adds to Kanon's typical repertoire.

hopefully covers for Calendula Requiem will be out soon

I wonder will this be a 1 off thing . If the songs on the single are good , I will consider to buy it :)

Here's the preview minus the retarded fangirls.



This song is so good.....T_T

Yay new thread! I wanna see some covers now :yes

i love kanon with her japanese dress, so beautiful

Ohhh I love this <3 I'm so excited for this single! It looks and sounds so different, but in a good way! :heart I love the collab, too <3

but no offense , an cafe's Kanon is so ~_~

Now I'm pondering if I want to get this or not T_T

I love this song. Its so anime-ish and different from her creepy stuff (which I love too). This is like another side that we should get to see more of.

*ripping the PV & also doing a PV rip of it currently xD

the song's awesome still , period . Ah I think I'm going to get this with the DVD on HMV Japan

I don't know if this's a 1 off thing but I better do it before I regret LOL

omfg :D!

LOVE it!

AMAZING, this is the full PV then

I am so addicted to this song lol......I thought the other Kanon was going to sing....since I dunno who he is....but it seems not....which is GOOD lol....

LOL Bryan xD

the other Kanon , he's the bassist of visuel kei group an cafe that's why he didn't sing or do anything else in the PV other than playing the bass

but anyway I ordered my copy of Calendula Requiem last night from HMV Japan *O*

amazing. amazing!

Holy cow, this is so good. Her vocals have improved tremendously since her debut, and this style suits her so well. But the bridge near the end...wow, easily my favorite part.

Love this song and PV!

anyone find the new KERA scans with kanon? vol. 148 i think..I heard she was going to be in it n.n

I received my copy of Calendula Requiem earlier on from HMV Japan which's an early Christmas present from x-megumi-x

http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/5784/dsc01696.jpg

eh sorry don't mind ABC's Q.E.D. album there xD

The B-sides are really cool . The Doll House ! is so enchanting while Umigame Soup is downright creepy D:

I love the packaging for Calendula Requiem , it's so colourful & really both of them should collaborate more often T_T

I have uploaded the single here :)

^I love you :shughug Thank you so much!

I did scans also for my copy of Calendula Requiem just now as I was scanning/uploading Acid Black Cherry's Q.E.D. for my friend xD

thanks Karen!!
Oh, The Doll House is so good

I will upload the PVs of Calendula Requiem & Shoujo Shikake no Libretto ~Storytelling by solita~ soon which I ripped/encoded both from my Kanon stuff 8D

aw, thank you so much! I'm crazy excited to hear the whole thing.

DVD rip of Calendula Requiem PV can be downloaded here

I'm uploading the DVD rip of Shoujo Shikake no Libretto ~Storytelling by solita~'s PV currently :)

Thanks karen!

PV DVD rip of Shoujo Shikake no Libretto ~Storytelling by solita~ can be downloaded here

I finally downloaded the single. The Doll House is amazing :thud
I love this whole single :yes Only the soup song makes me hungry.

Does anyone know what Kanon sings at the beginning of the chorus of The Doll House?

I really hear this: Please take me at you...

EDIT: never mind. I already found the lyrics here: http://keyofkanon.e-monsite.com/rubr...n,1219431.html

Kanon sang Please take me out here ! at the beginning chorus for The Doll House !

I actually scanned my copy of Calendula Requiem a few posts back so if you want the scans , just download them Kris

^xD Oh yeah, I forgot sorry. :(

From 2ch

50　1,894　kanon×kanon

;____;

oh well , at least my copy's there LOL

:thud She deserves so much more love....

not bad, better than her album

LOL that's true

still this's awful . I thought with Kanon collaborating with an cafe's Kanon , it should have at least helped her with her popularity in Japan

guess not .__.

Damn, bad sales lol. And was An Cafe even that popular? I know they're popular among Visual Kei listeners, but they didn't seem too popular on the charts (too lazy to check on their sales)

I don't listen to Visuel Kei bands so it's hard for me to comment something about this

I guess Kanon will always be those artistes that will be popular overseas as compared to Japan

She seems to be more accepting especially in Europe if you ask me , cos of the style she has , be it when it comes to her music , her getup & etc

^I bet she's only popular in France and Germany .... (-_-'')
I don't see Kanon here in the Netherlands .... Dutch people should also give her more love.

Ouch

shes KOKIA number 2 lol.
more famous outside her country

I really like this single! She sounds amazing!

The soup song though... sounds really cool except for the scary children singing along. O_o

Umigame Soup is the only song in the single that's not written by both Kanon's

in fact , if you see the scans that I've uploaded , it's kinda like a song written in a poem style manner :O

I finally took some time to really listen to the single, and I really like it! It's a style that really suits her well. I appreciate that she's pushing herself vocally too :) Umigame Soup was super cute, but I can't decide if I like Calendula Requiem or The Doll House! better.

thanks to Chevalier@jpm


the new song by kanon x kanon is so pop, i don't like it

O______________O

omg pretty shocking to hear that & kanon x kanon is not even pop to begin with D:

I don't know , in 1 way it's good that kanon x kanon is branching out to do something different but on the other , what will longtime Kanon fans think about this ? :dead2

Haha, whoa XD

rly hope that this is somekind Anime Remix or smtng

I'm in shock

kanon x kanon are releasing their 2nd single Koi no Dotei on 15th June @_@

:thud

Whoa, was not expecting that O__O

Wow that's really out of the blue, isn't it?

I don't like the song to be honest....

the new song is really different from what she did before but it's not unpleasant
Moreover she did that song as kanonxkanon. so maybe she want to separate her KxK & her KW career at the musical level?

yeah maybe so Aurore , you made a good point about it come to think about it :O

Then again , an cafe's Kanon doesn't really do anything much in the unit other than playing bass so it's still Kanon Wakeshima's voice you hear at the end of the day haha

but yeah at least Kanon has an excuse to do something different in kanon x kanon . I think in her normal solo stuff , this's something I would dread to hear :x

well it's different that's true but it's not that bad - a bit cutesy but okay

so to be honest musically KxK is just moniker for KW xD

kanon x kanon? what? o.O oh I want her spooky/dark music from the Vampire Knight era back! edit: omg Shiki!!!

Calendula Requiem was released under kanon x kanon while still doll & Suna no Oshiro were released via Kanon's real name

I don't know why they love to complicate things ~_~ because at the end of the day , Kanon's the 1 singing the songs & not an cafe's Kanon :laugh

anyway whatever , waiting in anticipation for Koi no Dotei to be out & why I have a feeling kanon x kanon might release an album or something ? :tired

cause maybe the think

an cafe is popular = kanon from ancafe is popular = kanon from an cafe will bring wakeshima more copies sold and more popularity

and its understand able cause kanon members have a bigger fanbase that KW did in both japan and mostly in Europe

She's coming to AM2!!! (apparently, a new Anime/Manga/Music convention in Anaheim California) :thud

She'll be performing as kanon x kanon with that dude but as the solo artist Kanon Wakeshima as well!

http://am2con.org/

OMG....choices....go to Anime Expo (they got AKB48 last year)....or this convention to see this amazing cello player/vocalist T_T Why do they have to be during the same days. Stupid planning.

^ Apparently AM2 could only get the Anaheim Convention Center the same dates as AX (and there's a lot of bad blood between the two conventions, yikes). I'm already planning on going to AX, unfortunately. :(

I went to AX last year not knowing anything about anime lol...I only knew like DBZ and Naruto....too bad I got into FMA right after T_T AKB concert was nice but the stage setup was so underwhelming. If they get someone good, I might still go but Kanon is really tempting...I think this convention is cheaper too right?

^ Yeah, AM2 is much cheaper!

Tracklist for Koi no Dotei which have been updated on CDJapan & Amazon Japan

CD RE

1. 恋の道程 ; Koi no Dotei
2. カップリング ; Kappuringu
3. 恋の道程 (Less Vocal)

CD LE

1. 恋の道程 ; Koi no Dotei
2. カップリング ; Kappuringu
3. 恋の道程 (TV SIZE)
4. 恋の道程 (Less Vocal)

Kappuringu? What does it mean?

Google Translate gave the English translation meaning of カップリング as Coupling x)

I honestly don't know what to expect for Koi no Dotei man at this point in time

I need to see covers soon !

I like Calendula Requiem's CD only cover (Shiki version), it's cute XD
As I said, not really happy about this new kanon x kanon project, but they're probably trying to do sth about Kanon's already poor sales :/ and it's not helping obviously o_o Calendula Requiem is ok, really, it's not so bad even though it sounds too pop for Kanon ._. does cello start after 3:00 ? The B-sides are terrible...

I wish Kanon would promote on music programs :bsigh

yeah I agree :(

I never seen her performing live in music shows to begin with

& on the stuff she does with kanon x kanon , I really don't mind . It gives her a separate entity from what she does as Kanon Wakeshima

Calendula Requiem is awesome imo . I can't see her doing something like that if she's in solo mode but I'm not so sure for the preview of Koi no Dotei , that's way too pop for me to handle D:

for me, Calendula Requiem is a really great single, and i loved "The Doll House", it's so much better than the new song

I love The Doll House ! Umigame is creepy but that's so typical of Kanon

I frankly don't mind the stuff she does in kanon x kanon but I'm still uncertain for Koi no Dotei at this point in time :O since the preview I've heard , I got a shock from it even up to now :dead2

why!!! they don't even appear on the covers
now i hope something epic with Kappuringu
-----------
edit

according to cdjapan, the b.side is 恋愛のスゝメ RENAI NO SUSUME, Kappuringo isn't on the tracklist

To be honest, I'm not really fond of the covers...
I like it betters when the cover features the artists themselves.

Oh well... I'll live :laugh
