I thought I'd just make another general thread for Kanon since the other one got locked.

Apparently Kanon will be featured in the next FOOL'S MATE with an interview.

I know some people here were waiting on an interview with her, so if anyone gets the scans and someone could translate that would be great.

The fact "produced by mana" is the most significant talent xDDDDDD

I can't defy this fate
My head jars in its confusion

I can't resist against time and heaven.
In blind obedience, both my hands
Tighten the thread
I open my eyes that have been sewn shut.

Break down the invisible walls!
Even with mechanical thoughts,
Dreams are ruined.
The reason you ruminate the shadowy past and the dreadful future
And the bound words of the present:
To know limits
Is to be inside a black birdcage.

Even if this voice
Gets put out

Believe in things you cannot see!
Even with my trembling arms,
I want to protect someone dear to me
The place my thoughts that progressed up to now struggle on to
To see hopes
Even in a black, confined world

I open my watering magenta eyes

might as well post all the lyrics in this thread or link to faiths website...

Anyways, this is probably my favorite drawing yet. I saw it and I was like "...:O"

It looks like cupid. The stray ribbon even makes a heart kinda (but I could just be imagining things)

A thread to make me come back.

I really wonder how her cello would sound live in still doll, as opposed to numeric loops =). She was definitly a good find!

^ Yeah, me too. For some reason I think that it would be difficult to sing and play cello at the same time.

Most likely because it's really unusual to see Cello players sing, but it's probably as hard as with any other instrument. Rasputina is an awesome band with the leader playing Cello and singing :)

But when Kanon plays cello, she doesn't sing, the only moment when she plays cello is in the sort of solo in the middle of Still Doll and Kuroi Torikago.

^ Huh? She's playing cello almost all the way through still doll. That part you hear at the start continues onwards.

Also Mana said it was interesting to sing and play cello at the same time, so I think she must do that at some stage ::shifty::

huh Well the part in the begining continues during the whole song and also during the cello solo(middle and end), so.... this sound is just an arrangment

But I'm sure she'll play it live, because it would look silly if she was sitting with a cello and only played it for 10 seconds :P.


The music video on the top page of her website has gotten a bit longer. They should put the whole video there since it's probably not going to get an official release (should have been on Still Doll single <_<.)
