Early experience

Kanaon has been loved since childhood Influenced by musical parents, he started learning cello at the age of 3. In junior high school, he formed a string choir and cello group and started musical activities, initially playing classical music. She started participating in classical music concerts at the age of 15, and gained extensive performance experience before her ensemble switched to playing baroque music. When I graduated from junior high school, I started composing music. It was the first time he stood on the stage as the lead singer at the cultural festival in his first year of high school, and he belonged to a light music group in high school. While studying in high school, he participated in an audition organized by SONY Music, which sought the possibility of self-expression in music, and became a finalist (winner), and then signed a contract with デフスタ_レコ_ズ (record company). The single "stilldoll" debuted on May 28.

～TheDebutStoryofKanonWakeshima×Mana～

Singing, playing the cello, collecting cute things, and drawing. However, I also like excellent clothes and snacks very much. Here is such a 27-year-old girl, her name is: Kanon Akashima.

It seems that because her parents are deep music fans, Kanon started listening to music before she was born (it can be regarded as prenatal education). Moreover, her name also comes from music, and she got her name from Kanon (pronunciation of Kanon)

With the recommendation of her parents, she started studying cello at the age of 3. As she grew up, she also Falling in love with the world of music. When I enter adolescence, I am also interested in pop music besides classical music. What she encountered there was singing. Soon, she also began to devote herself to composing lyrics and music, and even created a new independent style called "playing the cello and singing at the same time."

The "Mana" who has a strong interest in such a rare existence as Kanon Akashima, is called the leader of the ultimate art collective, not only led MALICEMIZER, but also the current Gothic Rock Project·Moidix Mois. He has received enthusiastic support not only in Japan but also in Europe as a market, and has also received enthusiastic support overseas. He revealed that it was the first time that he personally performed for a female artist.

Looking at the figure playing the cello and singing at the same time, I think intuitively "This!" Because I like classical music very much, I not only sing but also play the cello. I feel like I have a new future!

Originally, this Mana is a person with a refined aesthetic that goes hand in hand with his musical talent. In recent years, he has surpassed the stage of music activities and also has a background such as hosting the clothing brand Moi-meme-moitie. Mana proposed the fashion concept called GOTHLOLI with the word "GOTHC&LOLITA", which was unprecedented. Since then, the development of Gothic & Lolita, coupled with the music style of "VISUAL-KEI" which is now the most common language in the world, it goes without saying that the Asian culture originating from Japan has been widely and deeply penetrated. At the same time, it can be said that it is an unshakable fact that Mana, who is an authority in every aspect, is regarded as a charismatic figure who is an absolute leader in every aspect.

The possibility that Mana felt for Kanon Akushima like that. That, not only does she have an absolute sense of sound that was cultivated from a young elite education, but her unique cello + song style really extends to many aspects.

In addition to music, she also has other contacts. First of all, she likes to draw. I also like painting very much. In fact, she gave me some pictures, which are very good. Also, I think her character is very interesting. Contrary to the sense of maturity that the teenage years are about to end, rings and other decorations are decorated with cookies, candies and the like (laughs). Different from the adult-like feeling, there is also a girlish-like part, and in that double-sided place, people feel that "this is her style."

”

In this way, Mana feels that there are unknown premonitions and impressions of Kanon Akashima. Soon, the debut single "stilldoll" will also be connected. Furthermore, this song serves as The ending theme of the TX series TV anime "Vampire Knight" was aired on April 7, 2008. It is a fantasy waltz tune and an elegant cello melody (of course, it is played by Kanon Akushima herself). The atmosphere is beautifully intertwined with the charm of Newwave (a music style) of electronic music. The singing voice of Kaon Arakshima echoes in this incredible sound, and it is as soft as a chiffon cake and contains as much texture as it contains. With its intoxicating sweetness, the beauty in your ears must also be expanding on one side.

When I received the music from Mr. Mana, I felt like I had entered an ancient castle. The same feeling!

In this song "stilldoll", her performance about this song is even more noticeable than the singing, which makes it feel story-telling. The words, which are complexly intertwined with both partial and psychological descriptions, can be said to be a reflection of Kaon Awakishima's delicate sensibility.

His works began to be composed entirely of lyrics and music by himself, and the style of music became more J-pop, but the same thing remains the same. Cello playing throughout.

It is worth mentioning that after moving to Warner, Fukijima began to single-handedly design the costumes for his concerts and CDs.

Main Works

Kanon's Cello

In Fenjima's songs, the cello plays a very important role. In songs such as "Monochrome Frame", there are special features where cello playing replaces part of the singing. Fenjima himself once said that in his music, the cello is not just an accompaniment instrument, but a part of the singing expression.

It can be said that for Fenjima, the cello is a companion and friend like a human being. She also uses the method of "personification of the cello" to introduce the four characters with different characteristics and appearances to fans through paintings. The same kids.

Seven Thousand Weights

Roman pronunciation: Nanachie

Color: Red

Gender: Female

Participating CD: "stilldoll", "Sand no Castle", "killykillyJOKER", etc.

The prototype is the crimson cello equipped by the company when Benjima debuted, with a beautiful light and warm color like red wine. Also very popular among fans. As the earliest personified violin, Qian Qianzhong has the most varied hairstyles and clothing among the four, from kimonos to princess dresses. What remains unchanged is the long red curly hair that is as easy to identify as the original character. He seems to have a lively personality and is often eating candies or chewing gum.

Mikazuki

Roman pronunciation: Mikazuki

Color: White Gender: Female

Participating in CDs: "Invading Food" and "天の" The prototype of "Tree" is the second cello equipped by the company when Fenjima released the album "Invading Food". Its snow-white shape is pleasing to the eye.

The image of Sanriyue has always been that of a girl with shoulder-length short white hair, slightly shorter than Qiqianzhong. Generally speaking, it is characterized by a paralyzed face and a speechless face, but in a certain year's Christmas picture, there was also a smiling expression.

Yaeharu

Roman pronunciation: Yaeharu

Color: Brown

Gender: Male

Participating in CD : "withyou" "ファ_ルプレ_にくらり/サクラメイキュウ" "signal"

The prototype is a brown cello, which is a very common shape among cellos. Yaeharu is the violin that Bunijima has been playing since before he debuted. He is the eldest of the four violins. His image is that of a bespectacled man with brown curly hair. He always looks like he is awake. He seems to be the tallest among the four pianos.

A Hundred Rabbits

Roman pronunciation: Momotose

Color: silver gray

Gender: Male

See Performing CD: "Shoujo Shikake No. 1"

The prototype is the third piano equipped by the company when Akirashima released his second album, although it only appeared in "Shoujo Shikake No. 1" Among this CD, it is the most beautiful piano in the hearts of many fans. In addition to the eye-catching silver luster, the edge of the piano also has exquisite black edging.

The anthropomorphic image is that of a silver-haired boy. His expression is always a bit confused. When he smiles, people can't help but wonder whether Bai Tushi is a smiling tiger? It's a mystery anyway.
