Kanon to Demo Game at Otakon 2010
Baltimore, MD (July 28, 2010) – Bassist kanon, one of the founders of the visual kei band An Café and
currently a video game producer, will demo his mobile phone game Pinky Distortion at Otakon. The
demo will take place at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 31 in the Game Room.
At his panel on Friday (4:30-6 p.m. in Panel 2), he will select 20 people to play the game. Anyone is
welcome to come to the demo and watch.
The recently released mobile phone game Pinky Distortion features DIS;CODE, a visual kei band in
search of a vocalist. The player takes the role of a young singer recruited as the band's manager, who must
find a way to keep the band together and lead them to their first successful live concert. The game
emphasizes kanon's belief that a group of passionate people can create something more amazing than any
individual.
With a signature flamboyant style and Fender Jazz bass, kanon attracted a sizable fan base around the
world as part of An Café. After a successful world tour and a big final show at Nippon Budokan in
January, An Café went on hiaitus.
In addition to the gaming demo, kanon will also be a guest DJ at the Otakurave on Friday night in the 10
p.m. hour.
Otakon 2010 will be held July 30 – August 1 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland.
