The tragic downfall of Hinatazaka de Aimashou

Hinatazaka de Aimashou (2018-2022) was very funny. Reason
1. The members were so willing to engage in the filming of the show and the hosts were very energetic too, and they could cooperate well
2. The group were in unity that all members were at least friendly to each other, and therefore when one teased another, the others would laugh and the teased member wouldn't mind
3. The hosts and the members were like friends also and they often teased each other (especially Wakabayashi VS Hinatazaka46), and this was so funny to watch.
4. The members could find their characters and were most of the time capable of making jokes naturally and so were the hosts

Many moments, or units that bring happiness when I watch them again, like BBQ unit, Miyazaki unit, Manafi's lesson of Sanrio, the remote academic test unit, Ushio's lesson of elegance, Morimoto's chaotic lesson of how to sleep well, Miipan's lesson of breads, Miyata's lesson of literature, Happy New Year 2021, the first valentine's drama, 2022 Christmas romantic drama, Kasuke unit, 7th Single Prayer unit and the fun trip after the Prayer, etc.

Starting from 2023, Hinatazaka de Aimashou is not as funny as it was anymore. The イチャイチャ, between the hosts and the members (1st generation - 3rd generation), scenes are gone. The distance between the hosts and the members (1st generation - 3rd generation) when the hosts also need to pay attention to the 4th generation, which is a failure because they are not as sporty as the original members (graduated or active) , not as energetic as original members and not as funny as original members, and not as attractive as original members and destroy the important element of the group (no Senbatsu) and bring nothing good to the group then. And there is a distance between the new members and the original members in terms of bonds. And the new members struggle to find their right characters. For example, Miyachi's 大丈夫だよ is just annoying and this girl cannot really take the burriko character of Miyata-san who is graduated. And there are a lot of jokes gone. I don't hear Kasuga-san say にぶちゃん? anymore, don't see the successive faces of disgust of the members, and so on. Wakabayashi has been looking not as energetic as he was since the Personal News unit in 2023. Meanwhile, Kasuga-san has become a clown whose singing scenes are so awkward to watch. I just hope he won't sing anymore. It is embarrassing and not funny unless he sings naturally. I was expecting the Kasuga-san's Pawn Shop episode this year to be interesting that I could see the イチャイチャ between the Kasuga-san and the members, but it turned out to be an awkward episode.

Unless the new Hinatazaka is in unity, the new members can find their characters but I don't think they can as they are just not like Hinatazaka's members, the hosts and the new Hinatazaka is like friend again, this show will continue to be unwatchable like Nogizaka under Construction.

Last, the new opening voice of the show is bad. It is noisy
