As far as I know, SHOXX is back for good now. I remember the name was bought by the store Little HEARTS., so I guess they're running it now or something?

The album will also be released through Like an Edison on 2017/02/15, so you can grab a copy via a shopping service  

I feel like Finnish and Estonian both most definitely belong to that category of melodic languages, and in fact I've had more than one Estonian tell me that they believed some perceived similarity in ' linguistic flow' actually helped them to acquire Japanese and/or Korean at a faster & easier rate

Or maybe, just maybe, they just happen to prefer how it sounds? Of course I'm only speaking for myself here, but I'm really big on vocals... not only in the quality/talent but the general "sound". If you gave me the same song with an English-speaking native singing in English and a Japanese-speaking native singing in Japanese, I'd almost always choose the latter. I find that Japanese just sounds more pleasing and flows better to me (likely due to the consonant-to-vowel ratio) than the harsher sounds of a Germanic language, for example.

While OP and ChemicalPictures have exellent points worth discussing, I'll have to side with Panda, Cat and a few others on this.
 
Music taste is something very subjective and personal (unless you exclusively listen to hits on the radio, then you literally have no taste for any genre) and why people like this music or that music and stan this or that band is going to probably depend on a whole shitload of stuff.
 
Personally, as a linguist and simultaneous interpreter, I like the sound of some languages more than others and, as Panda, voice and phonetics play a very important role when choosing music I like. It is undeniable that Japanese phonetics are softer than some other's and I will most likely prefer to listen to a Japanese, French or Russian band over a germanic-language band (which doesn't keep me from listening to them either). It's the same reason why I don't dig screamo bands, no matter the country they come from.
 
That doesn't mean there won't be weeabos that will listen to anything Japanese ONLY because it's from Japan just like there's some people that don't listen to Adele songs that weren't on the radio more than 20 times a week. If anything, I think people listen more to VK than western rock/metal because the "pretty boys" (coughphotoshoppedcough) ratio there is bigger, not because of "deep lyrics" and "omgz I luv Japanz!!1!"
 
I don't think it's a matter of hypocrisy (if that were the case, why not call hypocrytes those metal fans that refuse to listen to NokuBura or Deviloof BECAUSE they wear make up?), it's much boarder than that. 
 
Though you could always do a poll about reasons for vk preference here and one on that gaijingya-filled fb group and compare answers. It will both answer your questions and disgust you.
 
Cheers.
 
PS: I really like celtic music. Anyone else?
