There was a lot of concern pre-release among western fans, which became praise and interest as our worst fears came to rest, but we don't count for much. We don't have the famous producers nor the numbers... So we can't even use the English side of the fandom to hope on. :-/

So it relies on the Japanese fandom... Add the fact he is male to the problem whcih is likely why he has a softer tone vocal and English in the first place(to give him a "gimmick" as otherwise males have less appeal to Japanese fans).
