Epitaph for Yoshisaki Kanade
When Kanade was young and bright, her mother fell ill and ended up passing away; her father was a musician who made a living off of commissions. Kanade's father said she was "blessed by music", often praising her for her musical work. One day, when the young girl came into her father's office to tell him that dinner (some microwaveable meals) was ready (heated by the Yoisaki's microwave, respectfully), she saw him frustrated over a song he was composing for a contest, claiming that something was missing. She offered to help, to which he complied. After Kanade added her melody and her father submitted the song, it eventually won the competition for her part of the song, that part being placed in a commercial.
After the father gathered new clients that claimed they wanted something like in the commercial, he could not match Kanade's melody despite his best efforts, leading him to be rushed to the hospital due to stress and overworkage. Kanade blames her father's hospitalization on herself, her child-like demeanor dissolving. She curls herself into a ball on the floor, wondering if she stopped eating, she'd be able to disappear.
Kanade now makes songs in an attempt to save at least one person and is the composer for 25-ji, Nightcord de. Kanade has a savior complex.
Kanade appears to be very accepting and sympathetic towards her fellow circle members; they are grateful for her and the group she created. She'd like to make other people happy with her music as her father once did. Incredibly hardworking to the point of skipping sleep and overworking herself, she puts almost too much effort into her work.
Haunted by what her music had done to her father, as the cause of her trauma, Kanade swears to make music that could save anyone, as her father had told her. Her savior complex is evident where she feels like she's failed as a musician if her music does not serve her intended purpose to help others. Determined to save Mafuyu with her music, she swears that she will continue writing, even if her talent is a curse to her.

[Kanade's Monlouge]
"I loved my mother's music box. For my frail mother, my father wrote a song and turned it into a music box for her. My father, a composer, created songs that were gentle and warm... Listening to them made me happy. Someday, I wanted to make a song like my father's. (more somber tone) But...... My father can no longer compose music. He no longer can... because of me."
[Kanade after reading comments from 2500's last music video]
"Good... If my music is saving someone... If it's close to someone's heart... (flashback to Kanade's father) Father... I need to keep on creating. A song that saves someone..."
[Kanade's introduction]
"...Amia. What kind of list is posted on this chatroom? Record your voice for your member introduction? This doesn't feel necessary. I prefer that people only hear my music... ...Well, I do see your point. It may get people talking about us more if we were to post such messages since we're such a mystery to them otherwise."
