Technically speaking Kanon was pretty much out in Happy Around! since early 2022 and her departure was just finalized in August of the same year, although health and vocal issues are some of the factors why she left, but if you actually look at it a bit deeper it's not only the reason why she left. There was actually this joke back then about Happy Around! saying Three Happy and One that is not so Happy To Be Around! cause let's be real here Kanon isn't a great dancer since Happy Around! songs are dance oriented and her low and deep voice doesn't really fit Happy Around!'s overall theme of Happy, Bright, Cheerful, and full of Energy, and if you noticed her performances during her time in the group and if you can read her body language she's visibly uncomfortable performing Happy Around! songs live and it's too obvious that she doesn't want to be there kinda like she's just there to fulfill a contractual obligation. and to be honest I've been expecting her departure in mid-2021 when Petit Mix ended but since they have performances till late 2021 she has to press on and fulfill those dates before finally leaving the group. And her leaving the group actually makes it better cause not only she can finally focus on her solo career but Happy Around! finally found someone with Mai-chan who can perform their songs with more passion and enthusiasm and to be honest when it comes to Vocal Range, Piano Playing Skills, and even Dancing Skills Mai-chan is an actual Upgrade and I'm really happy with this current line-up of Happy Around!.
You're totally right. I think that Bushiroad wanted to utilize aspects of how Kanon was in Bang Dream to sell Happy Around when it was new. At the end of the day D4DJ is a business and they wanted Kanon for marketing. I didn't know this stuff back when I made my tier list almost a year ago and also this video serves to back peddle on some of my opinions back then. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the essay and check out my future ones.~
@@streamingparson6774 Yup, great stuff, and sure thing, and for that, you'll get a sub here anyway I would like to invite you to please check my channel as well, I do covers of Japanese songs and Anime Themed Music and I've been wanting to cover the new version of Brand New World but unfortunately I just faced a couple of setbacks like I had some issues with my recording gears and I just got sick recently and lose my voice but will definitely do a cover of it once I feel better. Anyway about your opinions before it's okay at least you have a change of heart and at least you can appreciate Mai-chan's talent unlike some of Kanon's fans who are hating on Mai-chan and can't accept Kanon's departure and this is what I will never understand about Kanon fans on why they are hating the one who replaced her well, in fact, Mai-chan does the job much better and when it comes to personality Mai-chan also stands out cause aside from being such a great Pianist, Singer and Dancer Mai-chan is such a sweetheart I mean I can talk all day here telling all the great encounter I got with her but for the sake of this comment I will give two instances where she treats me right. 1. Last year when I greeted her on her birthday she replied to and apologized that it took her a bit late to reply and I said it's okay I really appreciate it, I'm happy and I really love her. 2. Also on her birthday just recently I greeted her and here's the rough translation of what she said "THANK YOU, I'm so happy, Thank you for celebrating with us again this year! I apologize for the late reply last year. This year I definitely wanted to reply right away! Thank you for sending me the images too Lorelai-chan, Rei-chan, Asahi-chan, and Hatate-chan. All of them are characters that I love and cherish From now on, I will continue to do my best so that I can return a lot of happiness And I hope to meet you at our LIVE concerts someday". And I said I won't mind how long it is as long as I get a reply from her I'm happy and though I currently don't live in Japan I have plans to move there so that I could finally watch Happy Around! Live Concerts, so yeah let's meet someday. Anyway here's the link to the screenshots I made from her reply jeffrymanlutac.blogspot.com/2024/02/thanks-mai-chan-and-i-love-you.html

@@streamingparson6774 Hey man sorry for the late reply I was very busy back then, anyways I already subscribed to your channel. And speaking of which, I'd be honest with you back in 2018, when Shizaki Kanon replaced Akeko (Akesaka Satomi) in the role of Shirokane Rinko and the Keyboardist for Roselia, I was underwhelmed. The deepness of her voice bothered me a bit and my initial reaction was I was like really? Is this your girl? is this the one you will get to replace Akeko in the role of Rinko? cause make no mistake Akeko is considered a veteran in the industry and you're replacing her with this amateur? Also, I was like how come Bushiroad missed Mai-chan (Irie Maiko) for the role of Rinko since Mai-chan was already been active in the industry at that time, and let's be real here Mai-chan's voice is more identical to Akeko's voice than Kanon's. If only Bushiroad had looked a bit further and waited a bit longer, Mai-chan would have been Rinko's seiyuu and Roselia's Keyboardist instead. But then again though not my favorite Rinko I'd rather prefer Kanon to be in Roselia than in Happy Around! After Kanon left Happy Around! they finally got Mai-chan who is an objective upgrade in all aspects like Singing, Piano Playing, and even Dancing Skills, and since her inclusion into the group, their vocal harmony and choreography improved as well. But that said I would still love to see Mai-chan to be in BanG Dream! not in Roselia though but in a new band with a Neo-Classical and Power Metal band that is similar to the music of X Japan, Versailles, Galneryus, etc. Since BanG Dream! doesn't have a screaming metal scene yet though I considered Ave Mujica as a full-blown gothic metal and doom metal band than Roselia I would still like to see BanG Dream! heading in a more technical and heavier direction.
