It's a huge improvement, but still nowhere near the state of the art for Japanese TTS which has always been ahead of English (since the phonetics are much simpler).
Listen to the samples here for example: http://voicetext.jp/samplevoice/ http://voicetext.jp/samplevoice/

It seems like voicetext.jp has more "correct" prosody, and seems to reproduce vocal fry correctly, I'm noticing that's missing from the WaveNet sample now. There's still some work to be done around filtering with voicetext, I hear pretty glaring artifacts between the units, whereas WaveNet doesn't produce any such artifacts.
