Sure. But they took it down.
Miichan had a rebirth arc after that that wouldn't have been possible had she left.

As for the lyrics thing.
In alk the groups, they have over 1000 songs. Of course they're gonna tap on every issue possible. But to say they promote prostitution? That's a reach. They simply talked about the issue, same as they've used bullying snd suicide.

Again, I'm not defending them in this ranking thing because everybody knows what's what, but they really have great songs out there and I feel people's bias gets in the way of getting to them.
