Birthday[edit]

May I ask where the birth date December 10, 1992 came from? I deleted it because in Kanon's profile page she states that she is 19, which would mean she was born in or around 1989, and if her zodiac sign is Cancer she must have been born in June or July.
- Torika (talk) 20:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About her name[edit]

It says on her profile ([1] in the profile section) that her name came from the English Canon, and "Ka" (Flower)+"Non" (Sound)=Sound of Flowers. Should this go anywhere on her page, even though it's trivia? Moocows rule 22:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It could maybe be worked into the prose since she notes she was basically pushed into music from before birth :-P -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 15:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Charted[edit]

The claim was made during the AfD that "Still Doll" charted. If this could be sourced to the Oricon website and added to the article, this would make Ms Wakeshime definitively pass WP:MUSIC criteria 2, thus preventing any further proposed deletions. —Quasirandom (talk) 04:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[2] for Still Doll (33 on the weekly charts and charted for 5 weeks) [3] 砂のお城 was a peak of 39 and charted for 3 weeks. 221.93.171.51 (talk) 04:55, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Implementation done. Good refs. Suggest to upgrade later with links to Oricon starting with "ranking.oricon.co.jp" they are less clogged with ads. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KrebMarkt (talk • contribs) 21:11, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kanon's Year of Birth[edit]

Does anyone have a reliable source actually giving Kanon's whole birthday? Right now her year of birth is listed as 1990, because of the profile in the February 2009 issue of Shojo Beat giving her age as 19. However, her profile at http://www.kanonweb.jp/profile/index.html states she is 20, but does not say when it was published, which could mean she was born in 1989 or earlier. Neither gives her actual year of birth nor full birthdate. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 19:46, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese wiki says 1988, will cross check from that basis

3 july 1988 from french websites but i question the RS quality of those website or at least they are not reliable enough for WP.

Here kanon wakeshima my space : http://www.myspace.com/kanonwakeshima

She is Cancer sign (22 June - 22 July) that consolidates the plausibility of her birth date.

I will continue to look for a RS source. --KrebMarkt 20:30, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

She is Cancer. She debutes May last year. In that time, she was 19 years old because she didn't pass her birthday.

She became 20 years old after her birthday. After birthday in 2009, she will be 21 years old. So she is born 1988.

kanonweb profile is officer site. officer site always doing renewal.

A picture Diary 2009.01.01 【お正月】She said will be a coming-of-age ceremony this year.

成人式=a coming-of-age ceremony. (Blackcath (talk) 08:05, 21 January 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Can i have the exact citation, so i can do it properly and solving once for all the issue. Thanks--KrebMarkt 19:30, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coming of age ceremonies in Japan are actually for 20, not 21. So she would be born in 1989. --ErickAutumn (talk) 21:23, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kanon was born July 3, 1989. Websites that say so: -animedubs.com/artists/kanon_wakeshima/ -www.imdb.com/name/nm3062388/bio -www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=70839 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.158.81 (talk) 17:35, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

None of which are reliable sources for this context, and none of which provide a source for their info, while the current info came from a reliable source. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 17:39, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The currently-displayed date of 28 June 1988 is correct, according to Kanon herself. It came up in conversation at AM^2 2011 in Anaheim (July 1-3), when she was given a birthday gift -- which turned out to be belated by a few days. I'm not sure how to notate a non-published conversation with the actual living subject as a source, but at least we can close the dispute now.

Number 6 ("Annui" Kibun) is actually Ennui Kibun!, meaning "Bored Feelings!" in French and Japanese. moocowsrule^{talk to moo} 23:15, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay....but why post it here? -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 23:59, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

xD because I have NO idea how to make a wikitable. If I knew how, then I would create the album list on the page... moocowsrule^{talk to moo} 02:10, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But it wouldn't belong in the article :P (and track listings are not posted in a tabular format, but a list format). -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 02:11, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay... but the Shinshoku Dolce album article got deleted. xD I just realized (and this really doesn't belong in the article) that Still Doll has haiku in it. moocowsrule^{talk to moo} 22:11, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Married?[edit]

I overheard rumors from fans that she was married, but I can't substantiate this on any English-language web sites. Any truth to this rumor? If so, shouldn't the article mention it, as other articles on celebrities do? -moritheil^Talk 06:22, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no reliable sources confirming it, then no. WP:BLP. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 12:46, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, of course if we can't find sources, then no. I was asking first, if anyone could find a source verifying this, and second, if that was true, then if should it be added. Sorry if that wasn't clear. -moritheil^Talk 16:12, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Concerts[edit]

Should her live concerts be included in this wiki? I think she had 3 concerts in 2010 and will be having another 3 this year. --Mikazuki3 (talk) 14:30, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Otome no March and The Strange Treat![edit]

She released "Otome no March" as a digital single after "Toumei no Kagi" Last year, she she did three concerts name "The strange Treat!" and sang new songs. This year, she attended "Sakura-con"...
