Jero

Опять по наводке с джип-форума. Спасибо, Катрин!

Очень необычный исполнитель для японской песни! 
С виду - реппер! И японские щемящие песни.

Jero ( Jerome Charles White, Jr.) born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on September 4, 1981 is a Japanese enka singer who is American-born of African-American and Japanese descent. His maternal grandmother was Japanese. He is the first black enka singer in Japanese music history. Jero began singing Enka actively at the age of six and continued to study the Japanese language all throughout high school and university. He also studied Japanese for some time at the Kansai Gaidai University school of foreign languages. Jero majored in information science at University of Pittsburgh and graduated in 2003, and moved to Japan in the same year. Two months after arriving in Japan, he entered the NHK Nodo Jiman competition broadcast on TV.

Джеро - родился в Питтсбурге, американец, смесь афро-американской и японской кровей. В школе и университете изучал японский, а в 2003 переехал жить в Японию, и стал первым в истории японской музыки чернокожим певцом стиля энки.
