Introducing Kanon Wakeshima~ [Debut Single 28/05]
 

Kanon Wakeshima

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2710/91103124ks1.png

Kanon Wakeshima is a vocalist and classically trained cellist who has been playing cello and studying Classical music since the age of three. She's just 19 years of age. Moi dix Mois' Mana is producing her and is responsible for the composition, programming and arrangement; and Kanon writes the lyrics.

Her debut single, still doll, is being released on 28th May on DefSTAR Records (Sony). It's being used as the ending song for the anime Vampire Knight. There is a sample from her debut single playing on her official site. Mana describes still doll as "a 3beat whisper voice type, medium slow mysterious number."

Official Website: http://www.kanonweb.jp/

Personally, I like her~ She looks really sweet and that sample on her site is really nice. I'm expecting some nice things. She must be special if Mana's producing her.

She looks just precious.
I love the preview on the site, so haunting. I wouldn't expect any less from Mana.

I think I'll be following this one :)

Thanks~

I like the preview.

ayuayu798 27th March 2008 05:43 PM
I like the preview a lot . I cant wait to hear the whole thing.

octocoffee 27th March 2008 08:27 PM
Lovely preview. It's reminiscent of Marionette -prelude-. Cello rocks, by the way. I wish I could play it. Hopefully she can join the other classical vocalist Kanon that's in my list of favorite artists.

everlastingRAINBOW 27th March 2008 09:58 PM
Very cool preview! Makes me think of Halloween :yes

Zachery! 28th March 2008 10:36 PM

Me, too. At first when I saw the thread title, I was groaning and thinking "ANOTHER debut??!" and thought she was gonna be like most of the other debuts we've seen on AHS so far (poppy, nothing new, etc.). But the fact that she plays cello and is being produced by MANA shows something different and unique about Kanon. I look forward to hearing her work.

Beauty4123 29th March 2008 03:15 AM
wow, she's pretty. i'm gonna look up that anime ending to hear the song, lol.

mi|kshake 29th March 2008 03:58 AM
Will keep my eye on her - wish the single release wasn't so far off though!

mi|kshake~

YuriChan 29th March 2008 05:55 AM
Wow!! This is awesome!! =D Can't wait to hear the full song! :)

Yoake 29th March 2008 12:33 PM
I love her look
thanks

MeruChan 29th March 2008 02:51 PM
She looks promising than the other avex and sony debuters! And she looks sooo dolly which suits the song title! I would like to see the other half of her face! Keep me updated about her! Looking forward to her debut!

Miku 30th March 2008 12:27 AM
I want the full single now :D

octocoffee 30th March 2008 03:17 AM
HOLY CRAP THERE'S AN ANIME FOR VAMPIRE KNIGHT?! Wow, I'm sorta scared to wonder why it took me so long to realize that...

bondingo 30th March 2008 06:18 AM
Wow, she honestly seems like the most promising debut artist since alan. I'm really excited to see what she'll do, because by the preview I'm already loving her. It sounds really sinister, and I love the classical influence.

TITANIC 30th March 2008 09:17 AM

Yup^^ It airs April 7th, along with this song =O;

Sakura_Genki 1st April 2008 11:32 PM
^ Yeah~ I'll be looking out for the ending to see what it's like.

I've been looking for information and there's supposed to be an interview in FOOLS MATE that came out.

Plus picture from her profile~

AyUta 1st April 2008 11:36 PM
^ Thanks^^ She looks just like a doll. I think she's very cute and I will for sure look out for her future releases.

octocoffee 1st April 2008 11:54 PM
@Sakura Genki
Thanks for the pic! She's adorable.

@Ayuta
Thanks for the info! I'm terribly excited now though, and I'm sure my homework is going to pile up...

WillofDusk 2nd April 2008 11:45 AM
I think I'll love this new artist her song is so mysterious!!!

Sakura_Genki 2nd April 2008 05:36 PM
Her Picture Diary has been updated with this really cute picture and some writing.

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5127/profilexm9.jpg

And my Japanese is terrible but I think she talks about something like Music and painting being the same, and something about a cat and studying something.

Chandrachan 2nd April 2008 06:37 PM
She's pretty ^^
I wanna hear the full song!! ^^

LEOyumi 3rd April 2008 12:22 AM
Wow, it seems she's gonna be awesome! Can't wait for her debut single ^_^

hayasaki 3rd April 2008 08:06 AM
Awwwww. Nice Style... =) i'll be waiting for her single XD

apple-pi 4th April 2008 10:54 PM
COOL.
She looks beautiful, writes her own lyrics, not to mention playing the cello!
Plus the single's title is totally awesome. I love everything about dolls. Anything that mentions dolls in any way will win my sympathy XD
And WOW, Mana? That should be very interesting. Has he worked with girls before?

Anyway. I'll be waiting for her debut single<3

Aw, that's really kawaii^^

Sakura_Genki 5th April 2008 04:09 PM
apple-pi - Mana's never worked with a girl before, that I can remember. He's worked with the band Schwarz Stein and of course his own bands.

Same!! I NEVER get excited over debuting artists (the only one I was excited over was alan), so me looking forward to her debut means A LOT xD Wow, she seems so amazing. I LOVE the preview, her voice is awesome. I agree with bondingo about how it sounds sinister, but it sounds sweet/beautiful at the same time ^_^

I also think it's really cool how Mana's branching out about who to produce music for :D Wow, I'm soooo excited for this single <3 I can't believe we have to wait so long for it though T_T

WillofDusk 6th April 2008 08:51 AM
^agreed I wished it was available for streaming like Alan's debut song

I cant stop listening to the preview
I love the string sound soo much!!!!!!!!!

happiholic★ 6th April 2008 07:17 PM
Well, Vampire Night is going to air soon, and when it does, we will probably get to her a longer version of the whole song, as her song is going to be used as an ending theme and I'm sure someone will upload the show to the internet.

Sakura_Genki 6th April 2008 07:33 PM
Official Thread here~

It's nice to know she's getting popular.

Ayu_no_tenshi 12th April 2008 09:30 AM
i loooooooooooooooooooove "still doll" and she is so beautiful

Choyan 12th April 2008 12:31 PM
<333 I've been SOOO looking forward to hear more about her since Mana mentioned about her on his site *0*!! <3 She seems extremely promising, her cello playing + singing is even more wowing <33

SO EXCITING!! >w<!
