Aww you beat me to creating a thread about her. Oh well, my fault for waiting too long.
I've heard of Kanon back in April when I started watching Vampire Knight and heard her song be the ED theme to the anime. I was instantly drawn to her unique style of fusing Gothic Lolita with classical.
I even blogger about her in this entry. I'll probably do a proper one for her in the near future.
For those that don't know her
OFFICIAL WEBSITE
http://www.kanonweb.jp/
She also does a lot of artwork. So instead of a usual blog, she has a picture diary which she posts some of her artwork on but she also has a picture gallery.

Her English Profile
and CDJapan did an interview with her not too long ago. You can read that HERE

Tracklist
1. still doll
2. Kuroi Torikago (黒い鳥籠; Black Birdcage)
3. still doll ~Orgel Version~ (～オルゴールVersion～; Music Box)
Future Release:

Tracklist
1. Suna no Oshiro (砂のお城; Sand Castle)
2. skip turn step♪
3. Suna no Oshiro (instrumental ver.) (砂のお城)
4. skip turn step♪ (instrumental ver.)
5. Suna no Oshiro ~Orgel version~ (砂のお城 ~オルゴール・ヴァージョン~)
I definitely looking forward to her upcoming single Suna no Oshiro, the release date is getting closer now that October is almost over. |

I know, and I'll be x50 more excited for when she announces an album 
Kuroi Torikago is too amazing to be a b-side, I think it should have been a Kuroi Torikago single or at least a double A-side.
Kanon is too underrated. |

Yay! Pretty pretty thread.
What do I think of Kanon Wakeshima? -points to set- That's what I think. She's so talented I absolutely love all of the songs she's released to far. They're so great. I've been listening to Suna no Oshiro on repeat recently, but I love all teh songs equally. |

^ I think the title is misleading. That lady is really just interpreting Mana's hand movements. Kanon's not in the interview, she's actually being talked about.
@Koda
Thanks! |

Thanks octocoffee, that makes much more sense since I saw her name in the questions and the girl didn't look like Kanon at all.

This was semi-recent but I believe it's already passed. Oh well, just thought I'd throw the link out there for anyone that's interested in what she's done lately. |

| Well put Ushee It'd be interesting to see how many styles an album, especially Kanon's, can span. |
