Hi everyone! I’m back with another review for an artist that I’ve had the wonderful privilege of interviewing. Kanon Wakeshima, in case you didn’t know already, is a cellist who has been playing since she was 3 years old. She’s also the first female vocal project of Mana. Followers of J-Rock may recognize this name, as he is the driving force behind Malice Mizer, who also gave birth to Gackt’s popularity, and his current group, Moi dix Mois.
First debuting with singles for the anime Vampire Knight, she quickly gained popularity. Shinshoku Dolce, her first full length album, debuted in Japan in February of 2009. Having already covered her debut performance at Otakon 2009 in Baltimore, MD and having sat down to discuss her work, I figured it was about time to tackle the album.
So, what can you expect? You’ll just have to check the jump! (more…)
