VIDEO: Kanon Wakeshima "Lolitawork Libretto (Storytelling by Solita)"



Here's a new video from Kanon Wakeshima. In it, French singer Solita reads a book and Kanon is the girl acting out the stories. It's all got a pretty Alice in Wonderland feel (not surprising) but there is a bit of original style to it as well. The one thing I can't get past though is how terrible Solita looks! It's like they intentionally make her look oily and grumpy just to make Kanon look better. I mean that lighting under her face! Those makeup-less closeups! Her total lack of emotion or movement! What's going on?! Otherwise it's a perfectly passable Kanon song just like all her other stuff. Oh, and I still wish they'd do more with Kanon's cello playing. They really seem to be phasing that out, despite every promo of her prominently featuring the instrument.
