Waiting for Kanon Wakeshima to sign her art work.

In addition to being a musician, Wakeshima is a visual artist and, since Royal/T also hosts an art gallery, her work was displayed for sale during the party. After the performance, a beefy line formed in the front gallery portion of the space as Lolitas, club kids and cosplayers armed themselves with posters, CDs and even some of her artwork to have signed. They were clearly smitten with Kanon Wakeshima.
