Jero is the latest enka sensation in Japan.  His Japanese grandmother exposed him to enka music, building a great love in him for this traditional form of Japanese music.

Jero had actually graduated from the University of Pittsburg as a computer engineer, but a runner-up victory in a karaoke contest in Japan led JVC Music to scout him. Two years later he released a CD and the rest is history.

This CD was signed by Jero at his concert in San Francisco on March 28, 2010 at the Palace of Fine Arts.
