I was pretty disappointed when I saw who the "replacements" where. Specially after watching TJ playing Shuraba on Music Station. Ukigumo was... ok, but Izawa looked like a goof. I started to like him more after he stopped trying to look cool (and after listening to Appa, too). Now I'd rather have him than HZM in the band. HZM is a lot more entertaining to watch, but Izawa seems to have more to add to the band.
As for Hirama/Ukigumo, if Hirama had to leave TJ to produce his own albums, then I'm happy he did.
