I bid all of the passionate fans of Kanon Wakeshima to forgive me for the following words and take no offence.
well... what I wanted to say is... she's a prostitute in music.
it seems to me she sings whatever she's told to.
first she had Mana as a producer and she was doing that ugly 'gothic-cuty' songs. no exact melody, no mood in the songs - but who cares if there are the words like 'lolita' etc. and Kanon herself is dressed in beautiful one piece and having a glove made of lace. she's lolita in her appearance and the songs are lolitic enough - that's what determined her success.
however! then she encounters with a wonderful person who composed the 'calendula requiem'. you're not saying it was again a Mana's production, are you? 'cause I'll never believe you. that's when we can hear her voice in all it's power - her strong choruses, her weak verses, her trembling voice when she's ending a phrase - the trembling voice that creeps into our souls making them shudder 'cause we understand that if she's trembling so much, there ARE some emotions in the song.
then she's asked for a one more single with the purpose of using it as theme songs for an anime.
the cover of the single is enough to understand that the anime a great drama full of human feelings and providing the watchers with a deep morals. yeah, I'm joking.
so did KanonxKanon. both Kanon and Kanon cared nothing about the songs so they just performed some cutesy things without any thinking over or trying to be original. it sounded cute. it did sound cute, so Kanons accomplished their goal if it was really to create a cute and usual and hollow song. it sounded like I've heard it before some million times.
and that's where the discography ends, leaving us to wonder what will be the next. and also, leaving much to be desired about that pretty and powerful voice being awfully wasted.
