still doll wasn't quite my type of song, but the instrumentals were amazing.

Yay yay yay.
My Kanon single arrived today, it's so gorgeous *_____*
I'm so glad that the first pressing wasn't just the sticker :/ It sucks.
But such a beautiful poster <3
I got a crap load of anime advertisements with it XD

^wow thats sooo beautiful!!!

where is the sticker? 0.o

On the back of the OBI.

Aw, that's gorgeous! Now I really want my single.

ooww.. it's beautifull.. even she looks like doll

i'm curious about her nationality and ancestor

~ayu-cake~ - It's such a gorgeous poster~! I'm glad it was a poster too.

Does anyone have the romaji for Black Bird Cage? I love the English translation, it fits the tone of the music!

I have the Romanji~

I love Black Bird Cage, I've been listening to it all day <33

The poster is awesome and review is too!

I love the whole single ^^

Omg that's so awesome! I envy you :eviltongu! If only I wasn't broke right now X___x...

I listen to it every single day sooo many times :laugh
It's amazing. Just wish it wasn't so short =/

^ Totally agree. It is so addictive.

@~ayu-cake~
Lucky! That is such a gorgeous poster.

LOL I already deleted it out of my Mp3 player :P

Same here...

I know ;__;
Both songs are way too short, I want them to go on. This release has made me so hyped up for the next one, it's a shame I know I'm going to have to wait for ages ;___;

New Picture Diary update~
I keep getting confused with the diary and the gallery. x_x
It's a blonde haired girl in a red polka dotted dress and she's wrapped in ribbons.
It's gorgeous~

^It's gorgeous.

I love the new drawing <3

I couldn't translate the text next to it much, but she does ask if it'll look good with her cello~ Since red is her favourite color.

Oh wow, I love her picture diary! :D Such awesome drawings!

I think it's rather neat that she has her drawings separated in Diary and Gallery, since I think it's a lot nicer when you get drawings about what she's been doing rather than her just explaining it all. Pictures, to me, communicate a lot more than words can sometimes.

I wonder why it says 'I Am Bambi' on it?

I was wondering that too.

^maybe the name of the character is "Bambi"?? :shrug

The new drawing of "Bambi" is amazing - wish I could draw like that ^^

Bambi...reminds me of the stereotypical hooker name >___<

Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. Name aside, it's a pretty awesome picture.

^So Disney made a movie about a hooker deer XD? *jk*

She's got it all o_o. She can play an instrument, sing, and draw. Something in me wants to say she can ballet, but it may be the gothic clothes.

total sales first week

*33 **3,642 分島花音
:D

^the sales arent impressing but her talent is impressing just like what GRACE said she can sing, play cello and draw. She is nearly perfect IMO

i'll wait for the second single^^

Not overly huge sales, but she got a good spot none the less~

still doll promo:

It was in a magazine but I forgot which one it was.

^so she went to a magazine interview? thats great! i want to knw her more especially about her unique non-japanese look^^

That poster is gorgeous! Did you purchase your single at CDJapan, ~ayu-cake~?

Nice.

I wish she would perform the songs live.

100% agree with you,boss :D:D:D
but no one perfect,y know

she needs to be promoted..

i wonder if she would bring her cello to any performance...


i think yes... :yes

if her cello likes Gay-yee (bond member), it'll be lighter and easy to bring

no! cello isnt heavy! i hug it everyday~~~ and also wooden cello is better than electric cello...

LOL gay-yee's cello is like a piece of white tree trunks... quite unique but i prefer kanon use the wood one

Picture Diary update~
Kanon talks about time in a recording studio.
It's really cute!

Love the drawing with the cats in the studio!

Kitties *_*

what is she trying to say? @_@ start in the 10th page? sounds cute and her drawing is sooo lovely

Kittyyyyyyyy :O! That's so cute! Kanon is so talented.

aww. so cutee...

does anybody can translate it?

Just wanted to show a little love :D

http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08236/kanon...497.jpg.xs.jpg

she makes me want to learn and play cello xD

Awwww, that drawing is so cute!
I really love it.

I would looooooovveee how to play electric guitar.

Awww I love the kitty cat drawing! She is such a talented drawer, I wish I had her talent!

Took the words right out of my mouth :laugh

I'd love that red cello and have it sit in the corner of my room. ^^

It'd make a gorgeous corner piece wouldn't it? It's a fine looking Cello.

I only just noticed today that the still doll single says sold out on the Official Sony music shop.

^ohhh that sounds good but why the sales is not so high?

:yes

Oh, sold out? Good to hear! :)

The first week sales of still doll:

^ Ehhh that's alright, I guess. You guys may think I'm crazy, but I'm already wanting a new single from Kanon :cry. I didn't care for 'Kuroi Torikago' all that much and I'm desperate for more beautiful haunting songs like 'still doll'.

Me too~ I check Kanon's site a lot of times during the day, plus Mana's site/Aesthetics all the while waiting for something to pop up.

Yeah I'm anxious for a new single as well -.-
I don't want to have to wait for ages but I have a feeling that I will :(

i just noticed her debut sales almost same with PBS - ami suzuki. BUt PBS sold 5K in first week. so i can say it's not bad chart

New scans from FOOLS MATE.

Thanks to kozabo at jrock_scans on LJ.

I agree with ~ayu-cake~, especially since Mana's releases for his own band have been pretty slow recently. I hope it doesn't fall into the pattern where her releases tend to be really far apart from eachother.

More and more stories are also floating around that Kanon will be appearing at the Japan expo, in France, held from the 3rd to the 6th of July. If Kanon's there then Mana might make an appearance too. I'll keep checking back to the official site/Kanon's & Mana's site to see if anything appears but it'd be wonderful for her to make an appearance there. I heard that Miyavi posted on his official Myspace that he will be there for the Laforet HARAJUKU collection '08 fashion. More stuff is still to be updated on Official Site.

France...?
To far away :laugh

I'm jealous now, my favourite singers never come to England. :scry

^Well, I'm going to England this autumn!
so no need to be sad.

I wonder why Kanon isn't doing live performances?

I'm not sure why either. I heard a rumour Kanon would perform at Dis Inferno this year, but I disregard it as just a rumour and nothing more unless it's announced.

it's weird though. You would expect that a debut single would get a lot of promotion.

I think so too; I would have expected a few of performances. Maybe if the Japan Expo stories are true maybe she's waiting to perform her debut live there.

Her face is beautiful in this pic! O.O;
I love it!Thanks for the scan Sakura_Genki :)

As for live performances...I would love to see one from her as well. Her in that beautiful white dress and haunting song. It sends shivers up my spine :laugh

Same here - they should the last band that came was The Gazzete - but I wasn't a fan back then

^ Agreed~ It's kind of sad when you hear of them going to other countries and they just totally skip us, or stop when they get to France. Miyavi's playing a show in London on the 25th, I think.

AyUta - Agreed~ her face looks really really nice.

Wow Kanon is so pretty...not to mention adorable!!! I wanna see more pix of her though lol...something other than still doll-themed stuff. Maybe like a blog pic :).

We have another Picture Diary update~
She says thank you for the support for her debut single.

^ Wow, that pic is really pretty :O! I'd say it's probably one of the best I've seen from Kanon.

Miyavi is indeed playing on the 25th in London :)
I'm going, yey. :)

I love the new picture, it's so gorgeous *_____*

so many ruour about kanon^^ lol why must she perform far away rather thn performing in japan?

edit: theme of a-nation 0 intitate^^

Best pic diary is on 27th of May

I really love that drawing.
She has so much talent.

Please, Kanon, please. Perform live

You really need to think of something creative, you thief! :eviltongu

Maybe they figured the Vampire Knight tie-in was sufficient? -shrug-

Those Fool's Mate images are great. Her hair looks soooo pretty.... Thanks.

am i the only onw who think there's sth wrong with her eyes? looks lik not balanced~ or ami i dreaming?

la la la la la :innocent

^I know it was you... so don't try to hide it.

I want to see live performances :weep.
What was that rumour about Kanon going to Paris?

She does look a bit crosseyed in that picture...

^Yeah, I thought so too.

The rumour is that Kanon will be appearing at the Japan expo this year; although nothing is said if she'd performance or just make a general appearance. Last year artists like Nana Kitade and Kana were there.

Yeah I bet there are alot of Jpop/Jrock fans in the U.K too - wow I never knew that ^^ I wish I could go and see him...

New Picture Gallery update~
It's another picture themed on Alice in Wonderland!

^"Hi Miss Alice..." :laugh
I love the picture.

omg ARISU is soooo cute and beautiful but i think her hair is too bombed... :laugh

she really can draw~ no doubt about that~ jealous about it T.T sometimes i even cant draw sth that very detail ike her... i wanna try but failed all the time

I don't know about that one...I don't care for it much xD! I think it's the hair lol.

XD I think she said something about the hair and making it big, but I can't remember what she said.

wow I love the Friday pic - it's beautifull ^^

Another great pic!

Maybe she should release a artbook with her drawings or draw a pic for her next single cover

whaii.. she is amazing,beside singing,she can play cello and draw

^That's true.

I would really love it if she would release an artbook.
I hope she will release a next single soon and that it will have a CD+DVD version.

^ yeah I would love to get her amazing pictures ^^

Sigh.
I've listened to this single so many times now, and I'm aching for more material =(

wow my friends said she's going to learn cello after i introduce kanon to her^^

^LOL, really?

Aaaah, I'm dying for new stuff!
Even if it's just a live performance.

EDIT: What are the sales of "still doll"?

^ I believe it's 5,241

Has Kanon performed live yet on any shows?
