Never heard of her before but the song is nice (:
I am a big fan of Kanon Wakeshima. She's got some great songs to offer apart from Still Doll and
Suna no Oshiro.

It's called Kuroi Torikago and is a little faster than most of her other songs. <3

OH GOD I LOVE HER !!! Her concert with An Cafe's Kanon as kanon x kanon last year was just pure epic !! She has one of the best voices ever !!!
I love her voice >_< Really beautiful :)
Absolutely love her! Her music is just beautiful, I found out about her through Vampire Knight but loved her so much that I got her CDs as well! n_n
