Kanon Wakeshima to Move to London!

Last week on June 2nd, Kanon Wakeshima made the announcement on social media that she has left her firm (Sony Music Publishing) and will be moving to London in the fall of 2019. She will stay there for a year and a half. She explains that this is a great chance to work with others and improve her songwriting skills. She has mentioned that she'll still be working with Sony Music Publishing on writing lyrics for other songs.

We have translated the announcement in a series of tweets:

Some fans have found out about the announcement prior via private messsaging in social media. Regardless, it has now been made official and we can say that Kanon Wakeshima has become an independent artist.

With that said, what will this mean for new content? We will likely see something new before she leaves Japan. As for during her stay in London, we will not hear much from her as an artist, but it is likely that she will collaborate with other musicians, singers, and composers as she continues to improve her abilities.

So, what does this mean for Kanon Channel? Of course, we will still continue to provide updates for everyone, be it tweets from Kanon, translated interviews, and other tidbits we have planned. While not much will appear in terms of newer content, we will still have something for everyone in the remainer of 2019 and into 2020. Stay tuned for that soon.

We wish her the best in her endevors and hope to witness a new Kanon Wakeshima in 2021!
