OMG wow! ENKA?! O.o wow *claps*

Great voice, and he's beautiful!

Wow... he sounds awesome!

It's almost as though his strong voice doesn't seem to match how he looks lol. (not cause he's black... as in, it doesn't look like such a strong voice is in someone like him) kinda like the feeling I get with Gackt sometimes..

I guess I always associate deep strong vocals like that with older people haha.

It's great!

He really speaks Japanese well haha, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbEZi...eature=related (he talks near the end)

O...M..G... O.O;
That's really cool :yes

That's....something you don't see everyday. O_O

I like how the PV is all hip-hop stylized. XD

wow! I am shock he is amazing! Hope he does well!

Wow, that's ... amazing. Totally unexpected, I admit, but his voice is LOVELY! <3 *loves Enka*

Wow, he's so good! I'd want to get his single.

THIS IS AMAZING!!! O_O

Awesome. But why Enka? He would've been better doing Rnb or something XD!

But still great stuff.

His maternal grandmother => Japanese.

Apparently he knows a ton [like 100+] enka songs by heart. :O

As pretty as he is, and gorgeous the song is etc ... I smell a flop.

ENKA?! with that look?! i will try to hear this

OMG! thats so freakin surprising! cool guy!

He's awesome! :D

Truth be told, if Jero did R'n'B he wouldn't really get as much attention. There are too many R'n'B artists out there these days that it's hard for anyone (outside of the usual fan circle) to really distinguish the differences between all the artists.

Jero seems interesting and seems like he is seeking an untapped niche for foreign artists. The song was nice, and he has a good voice, but we'll just see if he can stay afloat with this strategy. The PV was intriguing with the hip hop flair going on yet his vocals/the song totally did not match the PV (but I guess that was their intention).

The song is nice. Plus he has a great voice as well. But the PV was so random I couldn't even watch it XD

I was just reading about him yesterday! Considering how enka is more or less a genre for older people, his presence will probably bring in a young crowd.
