His father is black and his mother is Japanese,wanna hear something funny about this whole argument?Only stupid fucking Americans are trying to lable him. As always.
I hope he becomes much more famous, and his videos have more views! This is really very amazing and unexpected. It's quite respectable to have learned Japanese, it's a difficult language!
@JrockNerd LOL, I've been trying to learn Japanese for years. It is a category 3 language as classified by the U.S. Department of State -- which means it is among the most difficult (at least for Americans). So if you had it easy, awesome for you. ^_^ The rest of us will just struggle through it. *cries* *sweats* *bleeds from the ears and nose*
I have studied and am studying Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Spanish and English.
And to perfectly honest, Japanese is by far the easiest to learn imo, at least to speak, writing is hard however, it also all depends on how much time and effort you're willing to put down , maybe americans have it harder than swedish people, I don't know, but doubt it really.
@AntiChristClub Er no, he was born in the US but he was mostly raised by his Japanese grandmother which was why he was exposed to Japanese so early in his life.
it's weird. at first when i saw crystal kay i wasn't so sure then i started looking into blackaness. black with asain blood and came up on a lot mostly women but to see man is a surprise.
Hey this guy is singing but his mouth is off key. Am i watching a martial arts film? Can u imagine that level of Japanese coming from that nigga? Just imagine if he was doin that in the sub way in New York. But i really want to see him dominate the Japanese. He was a bit 2 humble. I think the Japanese male may be easily jealoused . Oh by the way. This guy is not talented and he fuckin sucks. His language ability may be good. His singing. Not so good. Start rappin brotha. BLACK POWER! Decipher
@lovbb16 Maybe the video is not line up right but Jero does not have to lip sing.I hop you know he is known in Asia,US Europe etc.He made history being the frist black Enka singer in Japan.
@Giagiaon i know he doesn't lip sing but it looks like it.. i have seen his other vids where he is singing and doesn't look fake.. it is as if they put the vid and the song together but was a little off o3o
race has nothing to do with it, only talent. your not gonna get famous cause your black white whatever, jero got fanous by his voice.he has a very pleasing voice, ad yes probably being gaijin helped, but his oice is good.
About the Japanese, it depends on the person. Some may view him as gaijin (outsider), but others may view him as family. It's just like how we handle things here. Japan really changed in the last 30 years.
This guy is boss! Seriously, you got to have BALLS to be this clean. I think that he's bringing back some interest among the younger generations of Japan with this traditional style. About his appearance, I think that he's being true to his style yet at the same time is able to draw in diverse crowds into this culture. I think more people should experiment the way this guy does. I see genius, skill and passion in this guy.
A friend introduced me to Jero's music a few years ago and I've been a fan ever since. Not only of him, but Enka in general. . . It's a really cool style.
Anyway, Jero is amazing, but he needs a stylist desperately. I'd be willing to help him for free, haha.
This gives me hope. I am wanting to do a job in Japan and Jero and all the other foreign people help me realize that I m able to get a job there and make a difference even though I am not Japanese.
lmao, ye ye. If u didnt know that Japaneses are one of the most racist people on earth then u dont know shiet! Thats some pretty good knowledge you got there!
@eastsideb I'm sure it would be difficult to find the society that has no racists in it, and i suppose you would get different reports depending upon who you ask. But my (black) south african friend who has lived in several countries during his life insists that he encountered less racism in japan than anywhere else. This included america and a couple of european countries. He has now chosen to remain in japan permanently, btw.
Oh no he is not in any videos of hers ( that i know of) i was saying that i have been a fan of crystal kay and i was watching a video and in the comments someone said something about Jero!
hahaha wow same here! (excluding the love him thing) I found him through Crystal Kay, but I was looking for someone else through her. And I did find her! :D Thelma Aoyama I thought she was part black but it turns out she trinadadian
Yeah I know :) He's 1/4 , but in America I think if you have 40% or more black in you , you're consiidering African Americans. Evene the Japanese call him African American...
Wow he really does have a great voice. I didn't believe it when I first heard of Jero. Main reason becuase I have never heard a black Japanese singer before.
I'm from the Philippines but I can't help but be in awe of Jero. He grew to love Enka out of love and respect for his grandmother and mom, something that can inspire our kids today. I don't understand the lyrics but that's not important. What is important is that you can see that he sings from the heart. Peace and love everyone!
Are you serious?! That's pretty dang amazing! He's become my role model too. Helped me take up music again and I plan on moving to Japan after graduating college over here.
Pure awesomeness!
