I would say that there is overall interest - just that it has not manifested itself here specifically, or on the main English-language cryptocurrency areas of the Internet. That's probably because it's a Japanese project so the initial interest has heavily leaned towards the East Asia region.
  
But in just a few short weeks their Slack has grown from less than 300 people to over 1,000 - and the team has meaningfully engaged with Japanese and regional media outlets to promote their upcoming ICO. If you can read Japanese their twitter handle - @ALIS_media has linked many of the recent articles/interviews.
  
Forum posts, like the one here or at cryptocurrency talk, or elsewhere, have been effective in their own way - but when a team's native language is not English, there is necessarily going to be some initial sluggishness in getting the message out beyond their native lingual sphere.

Hope that helps to clarify some things!
