I personally think Harunan's send-off was just fine. The Music Video was just fine, Hello! Project has done this kind of thing with C-ute's Iron Heart and Morning Musume's What is Love, two well-loved songs in their own right. The bonus track, if anything, is essentially the same as a b-side, so the fact that it even got a Music Video is something that I am thankful for. Harunan not having solo lines in the a-side is not too surprising considering other members like Kusumi Koharu (who had her own solo career) didn't get any solo lines in the a-sides on their graduation single either. So, the fact that Y Jiro no Tochuu was a Harunan center is something that I am thankful for as well.

This has always been how H!P has worked. In some cases, you can't even tell that a certain single was the last one for a member because of how little focus they got (Mitsui Aika for example). In the cases where a member gets their own original solo song for their graduation, its nearly always because of they had a ridiculously long tenure. For a back member, this send off was about what I expected for Harunan, and I enjoyed the single just fine.
