Kanon is singer songwriter based in Japan.
She debuted in July 2002 with her first live performance shortly after graduating the College of Music in Queensland, Australia. A year later, Kanon released [Alleluia], a mini-album containing various songs in her own piano self-accompaniment. That same year she was invited to perform live in Russia at the Moscow Baptist Church, the Red-Plaza stage, and at a home for the elderly. She was very popular with the crowds and was deemed a highly regarded Japanese representative. The first year-and-a-half of her career proved to be a fantastic display of vocal prowess, but also, in particular, lacked in original compositions. It wasn’t until February of 2004 when Kanon released the album [Hymn of Grace], this one being the first to include songs written and composed by her. Prior to this release she solely sang covers of songs (usually ones that fall under the category of popular folk songs) indigenous to various regions of the world.
Equipped with a beautiful face and a voice to match, Kanon aspired to reach the pinnacle of her potential, possibly out of a desire to far exceed the positive feedback from listeners all around the world. They say her voice is “one that heals,” which is an accurate description considering her soothing vocals and extensive range. Sony Music Japan International recognized her talents and together they released her first single [KISEKI Song of Love] in October 2004.
The following year was busy, portentous to Kanon’s promotion now that she had her newly signed contract under Sony Music. June of 2005 opened up with her album [Primary Flowers] as well as an invitation to sing Japan’s national anthem during the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany-Asia public showing. She ended the year with a flowering demonstration and a live performance in Tokyo in October. The release of her mini-album [Destiny] was complement to this display.
In 2006, Kanon released three singles [Kokoro], [My Destiny/Serenade], and [Brand New Breeze]. Her December album [Sanctuary] became the accumulation of her 2006 work with a few new additions. Kanon was invited to perform at MIDEM 2007 opening the 2007 year in January as Japan’s representative; this was very much an honor as it was enjoyable for her. Even after the significant privileges and eulogies bestowed unto Kanon, her style still reflects that of her essence - contemporary classical.
Tie-ins are also a part of Kanon’s routine and plays in her overall promotion. Her song “Brand New Breeze” is being used in the opening sequence of the current anime Kiniro no Corda ~primo passo~. In the videogame industry, one of Kanon’s most well-known endeavors is her collaboration with avex trax to aid in the completion of Namco’s RPG Tales of Legendia, in which she sung as lead vocalist in a few of the games’ tracks. In fact, visiting the provided link will direct you to the game’s official site, where a sample of one of those songs can be heard. One song in particular from the [Tales of Legendia Original Soundtrack], “Tori wa Naki, Boku wa Utau” (”The Bird Chirps, I Sing”), has captivated fans across the globe, thus increasing the number of listeners to what it is today.

一人分の景色の中
君の色があたりまえになる
知らなかった心地いい距離や
くだらない意地の張り合い
ほらまたすぐに笑い合えてる
日常を重ね合って行く
途切れず強くなって行く
君の半分が満たすんだ
ぴったりと
もっと寄り添って
生きて行こう
ボク等なんだか似てるね
頼りないとこも
補ってちょうどいいとこも
ちゃんと向き合って
生きて行こう
偶然の引力は
神様だって予測できない
必然を示してるんだ
ボクのピースは
不完全な形をしてて
脆くて弱い
そんなものだろうね
出会ったこれまでの選択を
「間違いじゃない」って
言ってくれた
今君の声が追い風に響く
ゆっくりと
もっと寄り添って
生きて行こう
ボク等なんだか似てるね
落ち込む癖も
すぐ立ち直って顔を上げるとこも

The song "The Light" by Kanon talks about the relationship between two people and how they have become an integral part of each other's lives. The singer talks about how the other person's presence has made their world a more vibrant and colorful place, with their quirks and differences bringing them closer together. This is reflected in the line, "Your color has become natural in the scenery that I see alone." The song also talks about how the challenges they face together have only made them stronger as a unit, and how they complement each other in their strengths and weaknesses.
The nature of their relationship is described as being one where they face each other honestly and openly, and where they are able to laugh at themselves and revel in their shared experiences. The lyrics convey feelings of warmth and comfort, as well as the joy that comes from being with someone who truly understands and accepts you. The overall message of the song seems to be one of optimism and hope for the future of this bond, as they navigate the uncertainty of life together with a sense of determination and trust.
