Where was it supposed to go exactly? =S

^ Yeah, I don't get that either. I'm actually glad the song didn't go the way I expected.

~ayu-cake~ 12th April 2008 11:16 AM

I really thought the ending was perfect to the song.

I wish the release date wasn't so far away ;___;

I really have to agree with you there. The previews sounded stunning, but after that part of the song it really doesn't seem to go anywhere. It's much less dark and forceful than that part made it seem the whole song would be. I'm let down, but I still like the song. Hopefully her future songs really showcase her unique style in a better way. The PV's beautiful and eerie though.

As for her success in Japan, I don't think she will have much. I'm sure she'll have the support of fans of Vampire Knight, but I don't see much beyond that. A mainstream successful career just wouldn't seem to fit someone with her musical style.

^^ Me too T___T

I hope her single has nice covers.

~ayu-cake~ 12th April 2008 11:27 AM

As a debut, I think it's a brilliant song though.
I'm rarely impressed with debuts but this was impressive to me, especially for a female of the genre.

I agree with her not having success in Japan, as expected really.
I can see her having quite a Europe following though?

WillofDusk 12th April 2008 01:51 PM

I'm bored of the song a bit too early...
I still enjoy the cello bit a lot. Just the song is getting lame :(

Sakura_Genki 12th April 2008 02:42 PM

I think she'll have a bigger following/success in Europe rather than Japan, which is what I'm expecting really. Europe has warmed up to her a lot more than Japan has. I'd hate for her to go Mainstream, she wouldn't suit.

I wish the release date wasn't so far away either~ I'd really like a stream of black bird cage to be on her site sometime.

I'd like to see Kanon in Mon+amour's Madousho, since it deals with behind the scenes and what Mana gets up to when he's not in the public eye so I'm guessing it would include something about Kanon and the PV shooting/making the single and stuff. Bad thing is though that if Kanon was in there I can't post it since it's against the rules of Mon+amour and I'd seriously get my ass kicked by other Mon+amour members/Mana.

apple-pi 12th April 2008 05:29 PM

What is Mon+Amour? Mana's fanclub?

Sakura_Genki 12th April 2008 06:47 PM

^ Yeah, it's Mana's fanclub~ Madousho is a booklet(s) you receive as part of being a member.

Chandrachan 13th April 2008 01:09 AM

I love still doll - the PV is ok it could have been better though but I love the song!! ^^

bondingo 13th April 2008 03:33 AM

Wait, why exactly do people think she'll have success in Europe? Was the song released to radio there or something?

cloud♥honey 13th April 2008 03:39 AM

I don't know. I think she's fugly and her song is terrible. Nothing's wrong with me, thanks, but... wow, 7 pages. She's really popular on here. o.o

I dont understand what people mean by that either....

Will someone explain, please.

CHE.R.RY 13th April 2008 03:56 AM

When I first listened to it from my friend's mp3 I thought the song was cheesy and boring LOL xD...but I got used to it. Other than the song being a little too short I think it's awesome! I kind of have to agree that it doesn't go anywhere (there could've been a little something extra added in somewhere), but I still love it either way. The cello part is :love! I <3 cellos A LOT.

Europe loves music of this style and image. France and Germany especially.
I believe Moi Dix Mois and the like are very popular there as well as the UK.

Sakura_Genki 13th April 2008 08:34 PM

Exactly what ~ayu-cake~ said. Moi dix Mois are hugely popular in Europe, mainly France and Germany and the UK are just catching up due to bands like the GazettE. A huge part of Kanon's popularity is due to Mana's producing and composing her music, since in Europe he's renound for his beautiful guitar playing and musical skills, which is why Moi dix Mois' tours focus on Europe; Germany (they played five dates there last year) and France most of the time. I think they only ever do Dis Inferno in Japan and that's the only time they play there and most of their promoting is done in Europe.

Sakura_Genki 15th April 2008 02:32 PM

Sorry for the double post~

Apparantely Kanon's making her live debut at Japan Expo in France, which is held from the 3 - 6 in July. The official site doesn't say anything about it yet so I'm not sure if it's true but last year Anna Tsuchiya performed there, along with the band Dio -Distraught overlord. Everybody's hoping she's bringing Mana along with her if she's there. XD He hasn't attended an expo in a while.

Chandrachan 15th April 2008 10:12 PM

^if it is true I would love to go see her and Mana ^^

Sakura_Genki 15th April 2008 10:28 PM

I'd love to go to! It'd be great to hear Kanon live and see her cello skills in person.
