People love him. He has really found a way into the Japanese people's hearts by singing traditional Enka songs. Theres a video on Youtube of a variety show here when he first debuted, you should see the reaction of the people! They are blown away. When he first comes out they think it is a joke, but once he starts singing, you can see and hear how impressed they are. This is the video here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqtgJ5TJi8M If you closed your eyes there is no way you wouldn't think he was a Japanese enka singer. He has made enka fashionable again haha. It's a great gig, I wish I had thought of it first. This guy is huge now here in Japan. People love him.
