What the fuck happened to great rhythm games like this? I really miss games like this with their own aesthetic and catch music all their own. Where are they rhythm games like Gitaroo and Parappa?
All we have now is a billion Miku clones with the same garbage vocaloid music.

Publishers realized they make no money.
It's just unpopular. That Rap Rabbit game failed on KS so there's really no hope for this genre.

Much better to make dudebro FPS for Westerners or weeb JRPG for Easterners, less effort and risk and easier to do, businesses and budgets are just too big to risk
This series was subjected to heavy censorship outside of Japan. I didn't bother to buy any of them since they were going to be sub-par versions.

For what it's worth, that Kickstarter was completely fucked up. Seriously, they couldn't have fucked up its execution more if they even tried.
nobody wants to pay $60 + tip for what is essentially a collection of "interactive" cutscenes

This. Games like Parappa and Gitaroo Man are cult classics, so they were never insanely popular and didn't rake in the dough. Your best bet now is to wait and hope some indie devs try something new and don't fuck it up like they always do.

rhythm games are pretty niche in the west (especially now that nobody gives a shit about guitar hero anymore) and japs aren't exactly offended by idolshit
