hello and welcome to, the kanade character analysis thread.
if i leave anything out that you feel is important, feel free to add on!!

when producer first finds kanade, she is reflecting to herself; talking about how she feels like she should just be "fooling around"
this is very important, but i'll get back to it

kanade then notices producer. her immediate reaction is that he's trying to hit on her. she then proceeds to say that she's in a bad mood; feeling angry, lonely, and sad all at the same time.
however, he stays there until she realizes her assumption may have been wrong

this is honestly one of the most direct instances of her showing that she isn't this flirty, sexy girl and just thinks that that's how men view her and want from her. she's become to accustomed to being objectified that she has made it her whole idol persona.-
-even to the point that she feels like there's something wrong with her. "are you just supposed to fool around in highschool? if so..then what does that make me."
she is so warped by this idea that she believes everyone goes along with it. that everyone fools around and flirts.

moving on, the producer says that he's there to recruit her. she doesn't believe him and says everyone lies like that. she's extremely used to being disappointed and lied to to get what they want. probably all in reference to men using her.
and now, commu2! this commu uses a lot of parallel things so i may reference that a lot.
we start off and she's saying how plain the room is, but not as a bad thing. rather that, you shouldn't judge it based on that. this, first one of the commu, may be a parallel to how she-

-views herself, only opposite. she also feels like something viewed based on first, only that she's most likely used to be objectified in a similar way.
nevertheless, in classic kanade fashion, she brushes this off and quickly changes the subject

after they work, producer says she did great and she feels surprised by this, maybe once again thinking he's lying.
but, this gets her to reflect again...

kanade says she didn't know what to aim for. regardless of ability, she felt like she couldn't do anything. once again she's going deep and talking about the parallels between being able to do everything and nothing.
here, this vague shape of "herself" is most likely in reference to the flirty persona. people view her and someone who she's not, yet because she has no direction she has become that ideal. she thinks that's all people want of her, and so she has become that vague shape.
this is by far one of the saddest things she has said, so let's disect it a bit.
she says, that if she keeps doing practice, her weak heart will disappear. and that if that happens her worries will too. her worries that she's not good enough, that she's not who people-
she says, that if she keeps doing practice, her weak heart will disappear. and that if that happens her worries will too. her worries that she's not good enough, that she's not who people-
-want her to be. they view her as an object, yet she knows she's more than that. yet she keeps going back to her persona because she believes that's abandoning a "weak" self.
we are then presented with the option of telling her that's a positive or negative outlook. telling her it's positive will bring her to say this:
whether these "pointless thoughts" are her debating whether her persona is a good or a bad thing, if she's good enough as she is, or whatever else i'm not sure, but i still think it's important to bring up.
the rest of her commu is meaningless flirting, so that brings us to commu3.
the start of this is at a photoshoot, where kanade explains she doesn't like looking back on the past. this is most likely due to her being so, for lack of a better word, abused and not having anything to "defend" herself. but now with her persona she can take herself out of-
-these situations. she truly believes she is a better person now and that this is all for the better.
after making some small talk, kanade says she has confidence in an expression of hers.
i'm sure you're all expecting me to say this is bc of x, y, and z, but i just wanted to point out how she truly does have some confidence in things, but it's backed up by other's validation.

and then. bam. hit with it again.
i really feel like this all speaks for itself so, i won't comment on this much. but it does make me feel sad for her.

producer abruptly hits her with a looong "....." and then she asks if he knows what kind of face she was making. we can either say a kissing face or a smug face.
the reaction for kissing makes her continue on being flirty:
the reaction for kissing makes her continue on being flirty:
however, saying it's a smug face, she drops the persona for a bit, almost admitting it's an act. but, it's not kanade without playing it off like it's nothing and saying if someone falls for it, it'll make her make a smug face, and that lips are what women hunt with
there's not much left and a lot of it is filled with her being flirty, but i wanted to mention this.
she has never kissed anyone genuinely. this, as said from the wiki, "mysterious and flirty girl who often teases" has never genuinely kissed someone. and not only that, but she-

-believes she may be saddened by it.
anyway, that's the end of commu3, though i did want to throw in the last thing she says.
not sure of in reference to what, but i do think it's important we see her trying to admit she is running away from things.

those are the only ones i can find translated, but i will go over card commus eventually, although not all of them.
anyway, here is a quick thread i made talking about this as well:
