I never thought that a black guy could sing enka better than the Japanese themselves! His voice sounds suprisingly good, and it seems to go together with the Japanese language really well!
It just goes to show, you shouldn’t make assumptions based on first appearances! When I saw this post, I just thought “Oh dear”, but I was really wrong!
Kudos to Jero for breaking the mould! -
