Well, my concern is that sometimes the name isn't just a username. In the case of utaite who have gone professional under their real names (or utaite like Yumi Matsuzawa, Rekka Katakiri, or moimoi/Mayumi Morinaga, who were already professional singers before they started doing utattemita), their names are usually romanized in Western order on official material. For example, Buzz Panda (Ryota Kikuchi is always written in western order on his album covers) and MARiA (when she was still known as Mai Mizuhashi, it's seen in western order on her first album's cover; or at least first name first, last name last). So should their names be romanized in Eastern order as well, even though sites like Wikipedia have them in Western order?

But if I had to be honest: Eastern order might be a more plausible option for this wiki for the reasons Pomme listed, because admittedly what I described above is a fairly rare occurence. I really don't mind either way (though admittedly I lean towards Western since it's what I'm used to), but I'd rather there just be a consensus one way or another, because I'm super OCD and inconsistency bothers me a whole lot more than it should.
