New rhythm game players (sans those from Japan, because I'm not entirely certain there is such a thing as a new rhythm game player in Japan) don't want to play a bunch of shit they have never heard of before. Why do you think Guitar Hero got so damn popular? Most of the songs can be heard on the radio.. in America.. where they are from..

Relatability to the music is probably the top 3 things that are required for introductory interest in a rhythm game and I haven't really seen that from IIDX, although Osu might have a case.
