Kanako Watanabe, better known by her Kanako Hoshino (星野奏子) alias, is a vocalist for BEMANI who joined KONAMI following a vocalist audition held by KONAMI in 2004 (the same one that [[Reiji Sakurai]] participated in). Since her debut she's sung nearly a couple of dozen songs for BEMANI, and written the lyrics to several other songs not featuring her singing. Her earlier songs were mostly done by [[Yoshitaka Nishimura|DJ Yoshitaka]], though she's also extensively worked with [[Keiichi Ueno]] and [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]], among others.

* Prior to joining KONAMI, Kanako was a finalist in the screenings to join the female girl groups ''Morning Musume.'' in 1998 and ''avex dream 2000'' in 1999, and also served as a MC of TBS TV's variety show ''Rank Oukoku'' from 2000 to 2002 [https://media.muevo.jp/articles/9283].
* Interestingly enough, after her debut, [[Sanae Shintani]], who appeared in quite a few arcade beatmania IIDX titles at the time, did not appear in any others after [[AC IIDX RED|beatmania IIDX 11 IIDX RED]] (the game Kanako debuted in) until [[AC Resort Anthem|beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem]] six years later, the only other beatmania IIDX arcade title to feature new Kanako and Sana songs in the same game. The ''only'' other BEMANI game to feature both new Sana and Kanako songs in the same arcade game is [[AC GFDM XG|GuitarFreaksXG & DrumManiaXG]].
* Kanako has also appeared in UNLIMITED STUDiO's ''SEVEN's CODE'' and TAITO's ''テトテ×コネクト''.
* Kanako provided vocals on [[Tatsuya Furukawa|good-cool]]'s second album, [[good-cool ultra expander]], for the track ''Break Me Out''. This is her only collaboration to date with good-cool.
