Just because now they have a keyboard player, doesn't mean they didn't use keyboard like effects before (ex. Smile Ichiban ii Onna, Tekesuta Kousen, Pipopapo Telepathy) They just actually have someone playing it now, instead of computer effects.
Some of the keyboard effects are a little overdone, but it just is a different style. Bands evolve.
I wouldn't mind either way if they kept him or if they didn't. I like a lot of music pre & post yuki. I still think an cafe is awesome no matter what.
