I don't have much time but I wanted to share this with you guys. ^^
Bio
Stage Name: JERO (ジェロ)
Real Name: Jerome White, Jr.
Birthday: 1981.09.04
Birth place: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Musical Influence: His Japanese grandmother used to make him listen to Enka when he was young. After moving to Japan to work as a computer programmer and English teacher, he decided what he really wanted to do was sing Enka.
Yup. I don't really know what else to say other than I really like his debut single, Umiyuki. I wonder what impact this'll have on the younger generation's perception of Enka? It could lead to an interesting movement.

Umiyuki peeked at #2 on the Oricon daily yesterday.
