I'd rather see the real artist perform the song rather than the vocalist. But even with that aside, SR's voice gives her songs an added layer; like emotions. With most singers, they sing sad songs or happy songs in the same manner. The only thing that makes the song sad is the background music.
With SR though, you hear the anger, sadness, fear, etc in her voice.
I don't really care about her getting more sales; as long as she has enough of a following so that she can continue her career, I'm happy. I would like her to be able to reach more people though. In Japan, I think she's fine, so she shouldn't change for that. But I would like her to take the backseat as a songwriter/producer for a US performer, so that her musical influence can spread beyond Japan. I think she would be able to make it; she just has to submit any of her KZK/SS songs as her demo.
