So have any of you heard about Jero?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jero

Despite being born in America (his grandmother is Japanese) he is the first non-Japanese enka singer (enka is a type of Japanese music) in Japan.

He is really big in Japan now and here are some of his performance that really made me suprised because he is so good.

That's really cool:p. Really interesting that genre, just read the wiki article. It's great that he is doing something in connection with his Japanese roots:uhuh.

Lol, why can't you take him seriousley? I think its great how he overcame the barrier of steriotyping that enka can only be sung by middle-aged Japanese people.
Instead he turned it into something many youth can relate to.
