Say what you want about his looks, but the guy's done a lot of good for charities (he raised over a million dollars for the earthquake victims in just a few days due to his star-power alone) and seems like a genuinely good/cool guy in interviews. I think he gets a bad rap in the gaming community because people see him as just another Japanese pretty-boy showing up in their games, without knowing much else about him.

And if he looks femme...meh...he does it because that's what's popular in Japan. He knows he has a pretty face and plays up to that, because looks are important on Japanese tv. Hell, the guy's pushing 40 and has been in the charts for over 10 years, so he's lucky he's still popular amongst Japanese women at all. Especially when there are talent agencies all over Japan who mass-produce hundreds of younger, prettier and easily-marketable male singers.

The man they chose to narrate the trailers for the upcoming Berserk anime project! Also I'm pretty sure he was involved in FF Dirge of Cerberus and Genesis from Crisis Core was based on him. Though I didn't know too much about him, without the help of Pozzle's comment (not Kyoji)
