[edit] Gabriel Robin

According to the IMDB she is in fact Gabriel Robin http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0437819/ "Escaflowne (2000/II) (lyricist: "Sora") (as Gabriela Robin) " Perhaps this should be changed beyond speculation.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.225.241.56 (talk • contribs) 15:07, 16 April 2006

Note - imdb is not a reliable source. It features user generated content like wikipedia, and cannot be used to source something as fact AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 16:53, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

• I always figured that if she is her, and she pretends not to be, then it behooves us to sustain the illusion, and that the courtesy is least one can do.

• The Google summary for this page says it contains Speculation on her identity. Wouldn't that (as phrased) be original research? Shouldn't that be reworded somehow? (I have no idea how to change that or anything... not much of a wikipedian!) 24.56.114.29 (talk) 00:59, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pics?

Can we get some images of her in the article? You know, as a reference since she's described as having Edward from Cowboy Bebop based off of her? ForestAngel (talk) 19:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, we would need a picture someone has taken of her that they will release under a free license. (Wikipedia generally doesn't allow copyrighted pictures of living people.) I just searched on Flickr and couldn't find any. Maybe there's a Wikipedian out there who's gotten a picture of her at an anime convention... rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 19:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No mention of formal study?

This article mentions Kanno had some formal training at the Conservatoire de Paris and Waseda University in Japan.

http://nippop.com/artist/artist_id-133/artist_name-yoko_kanno/

It's unclear if she was studying composition or piano performance (or something else?) but it's probably something that should be mentioned in her biography if we can get a confirmation. Did she graduate with a degree in anything? Who did she study with? Is this information private and thus unattainable? Streichorchester (talk) 02:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

NEVERMIND! I just learned that the blogger who posted that "bio" had their information wrong and this is the Yoko Kanno who studied in Paris http://www.kilie.com/yoko/

Of course, I don't know for sure, but man if this isn't confusing enough already... Streichorchester (talk) 21:07, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
