More correct statement is “Japan has its own standards when it comes to its talent.”

Holy crap! That was unexpected. Normally, its just about 1 member, but 2 at the same time. That's a huge blow. Maguro is now the only founding member left with Koga and Koizumi gone. It's not even KANA-BOON no more. Just in name. What made KANA-BOON "KANA-BOON" is now gone. Even with Maguro remaining, things are different now.

The agency’s money to lose, I guess. Like, we’re gonna effectively terminate a band for two very obscure, not ACTUALLY, DEFINITIVELY compromising situations.

Okay I'm going to be that guy BUT the singer is still in the band and he is the most important to the sound of KANA BOON.

You can get another drummer and guitarist

A lot of very big/popular bands/groups switch between members over the years, they'll find replacements and then slowly try and come back into the limelight.

LOL. Except people have standards when supporting Artists and celebrities especially when they turn out to be scumbags. and it’s the fans money and choice who they want to support for whatever reason.

At some point they should just form a new band or go solo if the lead singer is the only thing that matters to the fans.
