| According to the official website, the OP theme of Kokoro Connect will be replaced with a new song on the Blu-ray and DVD due to production circumstances. Kikuchi Hajime, the composer of the theme, has been suspended from working as the artist of eufonius because he insulted seiyu Momoi Haruko via Twitter last August. When Momoi tweeted that she felt happy that her songs have been sung at karaoke places, Kikuchi sent her a reply which said, "Useless." Momoi replied, "I'm sorry if you took it that way, but I'm always serious." Kikuchi replied, "I'm serious too." Bandai Namco Game has announced that eufonius' song "Future Indications" will be removed from the PSP game "Kokoro Connect Wochi Random", which will be released in November.

| incomprehensible... |
| Nice low blow there Hajime. Nice job insulting someone who is happy their work is being sung by others. I may not be a fan of her songs but at least show some respect. |

| I liked the first OP though. Oh well. So any news on how the last 4 episodes will be aired? |
 |
| At least he didn't get away with it... |

 |
| after all that has happened... this is expected. |
 |
| I suspected as much. It was really unusual to see a change in the OP midway through the 3rd Arc during the TV broadcast. Must be to do with the "incident", which surfaced due to Kikuchi Hajime of eufonius on Twitter I heard. |

| How dare he insult seto-san voice!!!!!! |
 |
| Excellent to see there are consequences. |
| Well that's unfortunate that it happened, though glad to see consequences for his actions as well. Also explains why the OP changed so suddenly. The original OP will always be the true OP to me though. |
| A match made in heaven set the fires in hell |
| Explains the sudden OP change, I did like that opening though. |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |
| It just keeps on getting worse and worse for Kokoro Connect. I almost feel bad for the production committee. |
 |
| It's not like the OP was bad. while it wasn't that good it was still decent. More importantly why must all sorts of annoying people constantly try to tarnish Kokoro Connect's good name? I LOVE THIS ANIME SO STOP DOING ALL SORTS OF HORRIBLE STUFF TO RUIN IT!!!! |
 |
| So much fuss about this show... |
| Shame that such a good show has been shrouded in bs |

| So many scandals related to Kokoro Connect.... :S |
| Damn, this show is getting more trouble than before. |

jmal said: IZEROII said: Silver Link does just house a bunch of douche bags I guess. And why exactly are you blaming the animation production studio for the actions of the composer of an unrelated band? Ya that was a mistake on my part. Edited a couple minutes later but someone (you) caught me on it too quickly : / |
windy said: Why should the fans suffer? When will the controversies end?Excellent to see there are consequences. |
| The controversies would end if people who are always in the limelight stop giving reasons for people to bust open their closets and throw out their skeletons for everyone to see. Kikuchi should have seen this from miles away, but nooooooo, he still chose to talk trash to Haruko Momoi. Meh, Twitter once again shows the asshole side of celebrities. |
 |
| lol this show has a lot of controversy |
| how dare he insult such a good and popular seiyuu. he should now his place. news like these annoys me. given that they are both in the same industry, probably he was just jelous? |
"never regret anything, because at one point it was exactly what you wanted" |
| lol he deserves it. So, are they going to use they 2nd OP theme as the a replacement for the 1st one? Would be better if they made a new one :D |

When will the controversies end?Excellent to see there are consequences. And all of this from one show - too bad as it is decent one. But good that there was reaction to it. |
| Too much controversy surrounding KC.. |
| Haha, I think I like this guy. |
     |
| I'm just pissed I'm going to have to wait until NEXT FUCKING YEAR before this show finishes. Argh. |
 |
Fabrice said: How dare he insult seto-san voice!!!!!! He is a dumb ass for doing that and the Twitter comment. |
 |
| That explains the hasty manner that they replaced the opening theme in the last 2 TV episodes. Didn't anyone else find it odd that they'd replace the theme song so late in the series? I could predict that something was wrong from that point. And, unfortunately, I was right. The fans have to suffer because that prick couldn't keep his mouth shut. Knowing the otaku community, they're probably outside of his house with pitchforks as we speak. I don't see how anyone could sympathise with the guy. His carelessness has caused a lot of trouble for the fans, the band and the animation company. It's gonna be a huge pain in the ass for Silver Link to replace the music. |
 |
| unique! haha |
 |
| It's fucking ridiculous how many news about some useless twittering we get her. I know why I hate Twitter... |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| wow and I was wondering why the OP suddenly changed.. I kinda feel sorry for the KC staff, it's one issue after another, it's a pity since the plot line is great and it deserves more attention but that seems impossible with all the scandals. the power of internet is scary. |
     |
| That's just plain stupid. There's no way someone should be punished like this for something so insignificant as a twitter post, no matter how much of a jerk they are. |
| Japs are just crazy. And most of p[people here too. If you dislike the person for something it's not the reason to dislike and forbid good things this person made. |
 |
belatkuro said: I did too. It's a shame the composer had to go and do something stupid. Now it just feels awkward because I still like the song.I liked the first OP though. Oh well. |
Mogami-kun said: At least he didn't get away with it... Yeah, well, he would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids. And that dog, too. |
| Drama drama. |

Say something bad on any social media site on ANY job (yes even McDonalds) you will be called in and terminated on the spot. He should consider himself lucky he was only suspended and lost quite a bit of profit too.That's just plain stupid. There's no way someone should be punished like this for something so insignificant as a twitter post, no matter how much of a jerk they are. LOL. Funny to hear about the "working world" from a little kiddo. If I haven't worked a day in my life, you probably haven't left your house even once in your life if you say something so ridiculous. First, it's unrelated to his job. What he writes in his twitter is his personal and private matter. Technically, that's supposed to be the end of discussion but since you're so totally ignorant, let me enlighten you: people don't get fired over things like these. They could get fired for insulting customers, they could get fired for insulting their superiors, but even that is rarely the case - do you know who Lewis Hamilton is? The Formula One driver, who once said "Go fuck yourself" to his team director during the race, and that was broadcasted live worldwide - so going by your logic he should've been "terminated" on the spot. He didn't even get a fine. Lastly, people could get fired for saying someting extremely unethical, like that russian stewardess who wrote she's happy about the crash of a plane from the company she was working at. This guy did nothing to get fired or even suspended. Even if he's a public person. There's plenty of artists, musicians, actors or politicians writing much worse things in their twitter (like, dunno, "Madonna is a dumb old slut" (c) ), but nobody takes any action against them because a) it's their private matter and b) it's just plain stupid. |
| So much Kokoro Connect drama both in the anime and IRL. |

seishi-sama said: That made me laugh.What he writes in his twitter is his personal and private matter. If he behaves like a dick in open public (aka twitter) insulting other people it gives a bad impression for the people he works for. So yeah, he did several things for that he can get fired. It's not like it happens all the time but sometimes it sure does. However, even though that it may seem harmless on the outside you never know if there were other things in the background as well leading to that decision. I was kinda surprised by the new OP, too but I like it a lot more than the first one. And yes, KC seems to be cursed to get all that negative publicity. Too bad, it's my favourite anime in its season but I guess it suffers one way or another because of all that. |

Removing their association with you is hardly unreasonable.What he writes in his twitter is his personal and private matter. |
