Kanako Kotera (小寺可南子) has been famous as a game song singer for an RPG named “The Legend of Heroes”. The name of the most famous song is “I swear..”, which is an ending theme of the game. As I am not a game freak, and I never knew her before she made a presentation on the TV program Uta-sta, for a mainstream record label as a duo named “2PEACE@LOVE”. I heard that they passed the first test supported by four composers out of five, which has been the best record of the program so far. After that I have been keeping alert to see her continuing activity as a solo singer. Just then, I went to her solo live performance last year. It was astonishing because she performed with a beautiful voice and quite correct pitch, in spite of the hard rock style. I did not know that she had been (and is still) a game song singer, and I thought that she had enough talent for and was going to be a rock singer, with the help of the producer Masato Kamata. They uploaded many up-tempo song PV’s on YouTube/MySpace and all of them have been excellent, I feel.
I had a chance last weekend, to attend an off-the-net closed party to communicate with each other and to celebrate her birthday. This time I guessed right, in the back of my mind, about the situation. And I realized that the other dozen participants were in fact almost all game (at least game-song) fans. It was very interesting that I was the only one to see her through a unique facet. It means she has many layers (hidden talents) as an artist, I believe.
She seemed to be very pleased with the direct communications, surrounded by friendly people to have a happy and memorable cerebration period. I am convinced that she, with multiple talents for music, stands at the crossroads of her music life. Whichever way she goes, she would certainly progress to realize her ambition, I truly believe.
