Kanon had another role in a musical in 2008, that being Bijogi Junction in April, but a bigger opportunity for Kanon presented itself when she was selected to be one of the four members for a new Hello!

In August 2009, she played the part of Nadeshiko Fujisaki in Shugo Chara! The Musical alongside fellow Smileage members Yuuka Maeda and Meimi Tamura.

In December 2012, Kanon released her first photobook.
