JERO

Recently one american guy is rather popular in Japan. I watched him on many TV shows. His name is JERO, born and grow up in Pittsburgh, USA. As his late grandma was Japanese, he started listening "Enka" when he was little. (*Enka is one type of Japanese Music, which is popular among old people. )

After his graduation of the University. He decided to come to Japan to be Enka singer. Wow I know some Enka songs, but never had interest on it . Actually many yong people prefer Pops , Hip Hop , Rock and so on. This year his dream came true, he has become "the first black enka singer"! His first single "Umiyuki" was accepted by not only old people but also young people. He sings with hip hop street fasion.

I lisetned his song, seemed by Japanese. His Japnese is so good , too. I could see he respects the songs and culture of Enka so much. Yesterday his first mini album was launched out. I bet he' s gonna remarkabe more and more.

Últimamente un estadounidense es bastante conocido en Japón. Se llama JERO. Él es primer Enka cantante negro. Como su abuela fue japonesa, de niño, comenzó escuchar Enka(una tipo de musica japonesa). Después sus graduación de universidad, él vino a Japón para ser un cantante de Enka . En febrero de este año hizo debut con la canción "Umiyuki." se vende mucho. Como canta y habla como japonés, creo que el estará más popular que ahora.
