Thank you for your comments


I can't tell you how happy I am to read all of the comments from everyone about my album.
Thank you so much for all of the comments!

I was given a staff pass to commemorate my live in France.
It's a special edition with Wasabin holding a cello!
So cute~

From now on, I'd like to post my cell phone pictures little by little.

By the way, Wasabin is the mascot of Wasabi Records, my French record label!

Vampire Knight's Kanon Wakeshima to Sing at Otakon
posted on 2009-05-11 21:00 EDT

Cellist/vocalist makes American debut at July 17-19 event in Baltimore

The Otakon convention has announced that Vampire Knight theme song cellist/vocalist Kanon Wakeshima will make her American debut at the July 17-19 event in Baltimore, Maryland. Wakeshima wrote and performed the "still doll" ending theme song for the television anime version of Matsuri Hino's Vampire Knight manga. Wakeshima then contributed the "Suna no Oshiro" (Sand Castle) ending theme for the anime sequel, Vampire Knight Guilty. She also made a cameo in the first anime series by playing a maid in the eighth episode.

Wakeshima was one of the performers at Tokyo's Individual Fashion Expo IV, the most recent installment of the largest Gothic Lolita (Goth-Loli) fashion show, last September. The event highlighted the connection between manga, anime, music, and Gothic Lolita fashion with Wakeshima's performance and a sneak preview of the anime adaptation of Yana Toboso's Kuromini coopersuji manga.
