Kanade dying got zero emotional points from me. I think it's for a variety of reasons:
1) Her character overall gave me the impression of a brute (particularly attack style, as well as the hair colour/style)
2) Her voice kept obscuring Mizuki Nana's in the songs.
3) I never liked giant spears like hers. Traditional spears, sure, but not since
Erio put me off that type (because I dislike him in general too)
The wonky dance movements that made the arms look like jelly were simply weird. I have no idea how the studio would think otherwise when they reviewed it.
I'm only half expecting Tsubasa to have a possible grudge against Hibiki.
Despite what I've said above as well as Kanade's fighting-song not sounding as polished as Tsubasa's, but it actually sounded as if she was fighting/running while she sang. The fight + singing gave off a sense of
difficulty - as if she needed to maintain the tempo and tonal accuracy in order to stayed powered-up. Tsubasa's was more polished, but felt much more like your usual anime-song-layered-over-a-fight than being an integral part of it.
While less "cool" to the ears, Kanade's performance matched the idea of having to sing even while you were coughing up blood.

I've seen Asian concerts televised. Glowsticks are pretty much the norm. Pop a stick and wave it to the music~
Glowsticks have less of a monopoly there though compared to the Japanese concerts, but more illuminated fan-made signs and all.
Imagine it like rocking side to side when a slow-ish song plays.
Then the guy next to you rocks at the same pace.
Then you pop some glow sticks.
Then stop caring about whether the song's fast or slow.. and there you have it. :)
