1) [1] a UK hip hop / grime rapper
2) [2] a classic italo-disco project.
3) [3] a Japanese singer who covers Vocaloid songs.
[1] In his early teens Kano attended Langdon Comprehensive School in East Ham, Newham, where his mother still works. Kano was a promising footballer, representing Chelsea F.C., Junior Hammers and Norwich City by the age of thirteen, but in the end he abandoned his sporting ambitions in favour of a musical career. His cousin Jonathan Fortune plays for Charlton Athletic.
His first track was "Boys Love Girls". Kano first became known on the UK grime scene for his work with his original group, N.A.S.T.Y Crew (Natural Artistic Sounds Touching You). From this springboard he was signed as a solo artist and began work on his debut solo album.
He is signed to 679 Recordings and is a label mate of The Streets. He was also a key member in East London’s N.A.S.T.Y. Crew. However, since being signed to 679 recordings, he has now left N.A.S.T.Y Crew, and took Demon and Ghetto with him.
Home Sweet Home was a great critical success, from across the British press, most notably The Independent and The Observer, two creditable UK based newspapers. Many artists in the UK and US have expressed positive views of the album, including Busta Rhymes, Nas, RZA, Jay-Z, Andre 3000 and Chuck D of Public Enemy.
Towards the end of 2005, Kano also released a mixtape, Beats & Bars, which is currently only available at his concerts.
London Town was released on September 10, 2007, which included hit single, "This Is The Girl", featuring Craig David. London Town includes tracks featuring Gorillaz member Damon Albarn formerly of Blur, Kate Nash, Craig David, Vybz Kartel and Leo The Lion.
Kano is also releasing a special Deluxe Limited Edition that includes a DVD featuring a interview with Kano, This Is The Girl video and acoustic studio footage with Craig David.
Kano has now left 679 recordings.

[2] Kano was a post-disco music project formed in 1979 by Italian-based producers/musicians Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto. They were early producers of a style of Italian dance music called Italo-disco, a blend of 1970s disco and funk with the addition of synthesizers.
Kano's sound was first heard on radio stations and in dance clubs around the world with their debut hit single, 1980's "I'm Ready", from their self-titled debut album (which also included the minor hits, "It's a War" and the instrumental track "Cosmic Voyager"). The b-side of "I'm Ready", "Holly Dolly" used the same essential production elements. "I'm Ready" also peaked at #21 on the Black Singles chart. "It's a War" was also a big hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the U.S., reaching #2 for five weeks.
The project went on to record two other albums, including 1981's "New York Cake" (which included the minor hits "Don't Try to Stop Me", and "Can't Hold Back") and 1983's "Another Life" (including the title track and "I Need Love") which introduced West Indian-born singer Glen White. Their last song was 1985's "This Is the Night".
"I'm Ready" was later used as a sample on a few songs, such as Gigolo Tony's 1986 hit "Hokie Pokie" and Rofo's 1987 hit "Flashlight In A Disconight". The most well-known use of it as a sample is on Tag Team's 1993 hit, "Whoomp! (There It Is)". "Another Life" was remixed by Master Blaster featuring in their 2003 album "We Love Italo Disco". "Another Life" was also sampled in the 2005 track "Discopolis" by Lifelike & Kris Menace. "Ikeya Seki" was sampled by the French electro house artist Kavinsky for his track "Grand Canyon", which appeared on his 2007 EP, 1986.

Round And Round
Kano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look for the man in the moon
But he′s retired now
You say you're higher than you been before
You say you′re lower than you ever thouight you' get
If I do, if I don't live my life
Like there′ll be no tomorrow
You come, you go,
You go round and round and round and round
You come, you go,
You go round and round and round and round
You do then you don't,
You go round and round and round and round
Buy me something with this silver coin
Maybe there′s a social club you should join
Look for the man who lives inside
Look for God and the secrets you will them
If I do, if I don't live my life
Like there′ll be no tomorrow
I'm living for today
You come, you go,
You go round and round and round and round
You come, you go,
You go round and round and round and round
You do then you don′t,
You go round and round and round and round
In Kano's song Round and Round, the lyrics suggest an exploration of the cyclical nature of life, love and relationships. The song encourages the listener to search for the good in situations, even when it may seem difficult. The opening lines ask us to search for the lining in the silver sky, to look for hope in impossible places. The reference to the man in the moon being retired suggests a sense of loss, as the moon has always been a symbol for guiding light, but now its guidance is no longer there.
The lines "You say you're higher than you been before / You say you're lower than you ever thought you'd get" suggest an emotional rollercoaster. It speaks to the highs and lows of life that can be both exhilarating and exhausting. The chorus emphasizes this cyclical motion as the subject comes and goes, round and round, and the metaphorical reference to a social club suggests that perhaps there is a community or support system that could help us navigate these cyclical patterns.
Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize the importance of living for today, not worrying about tomorrow. They also encourage the listener to seek out higher truths, whether through a search for hidden meaning or a greater purpose.

Look for the lining in the silver sky
Search for the good things in life even when it seems like everything is dull and grey
Look for the man in the moon

You come, you go, you go round and round and round and round
Life is full of ups and downs and it's easy to get stuck in a cycle of repeating mistakes
You do then you don't, you go round and round and round and round
Life is constantly changing and it's hard to keep up or make decisions
Buy me something with this silver coin
Money can be used to buy material things, but they won't necessarily bring happiness
Maybe there's a social club you should join
Finding a community or a group of like-minded people can bring a sense of belonging and purpose
Look for the man who lives inside
Discover your true self and don't be afraid to show it to the world
Look for God and the secrets you will them
There is a deeper meaning to life and it's up to each individual to find it
