With Ichitarou, though, he was only in one musical (two really, but then Nagayan was in that as well, and Ichi wasn't SUPPOSED to be in it technically) before the cast change, so fangirls didn't have as much time to get attached to him, plus TeniMyu wasn't anywhere near SUPER popular, so neither was he.
Kazuki, though, was playing one of the most popular characters of all time, at a point when TeniMyu WAS super popular, and played that character for 3 (4?) musicals--he IS Atobe, and I really don't think this guy's even going to have the time to fix everything that he's already done to ruin his own image.
I wonder what the heck MMV was THINKING when they cast a guy like this in such a high-profile role o_O
