Yes we'll get new music but without Kajiura and three voices, it'll be as a new band or a bad copy. And I can't imagine how their old songs'll sound in concert now.

I have to agree. Lineup changes in Japanese/Korean groups are, for some reason, more critical than in American groups. Tohoshinki might still be performing well, but they're definitely not as "hot" since the departure of JYJ. I mean, I'll take a Changmin pill any day of the freakin' week, but Tohoshinki is just not the same.
Imagine how Perfume would seem if they lost a member? I'm slightly traumatized just thinking about it.
I think if kalafina reforms as a duo under a different name, maybe with another dedicated composer, that may work out well. I'd love to see the girls try new things with those voices too. I've always found gems in kalafina's albums, but I've also thought they're too constrained in terms of what they can do vocally.
