If that guy looks like Jero, I look like Meg Ryan. And sadly, I don’t.

That is interesting how enka still attracts young people. I would not expect that it would go so far, especially in the USA and Brazil where traditions and culture are very opposite to Asian side. Lets revive Enka songs.

Enka doesn’t attract young people. Gimmicks attract young people. Jero isn’t popular because he’s a good Enka singer – There are better Enka singers out there, and the young people most certainly aren’t buying their CDs.

Still, I hope Jero succeeds in his career because he’s breaking down a lot of social walls. I just wish he’d suit up.

Enka will never become popular in countries/cultures outside of Japan, however, it’s not in need of revival. If you go to a karaoke bar (a bar.. not like the places with private rooms) don’t be surprised that Enka songs take the spotlight. Enka is has pretty much become a tradition.. and Japanese looove traditions.

so he looks like Jero just because he’s black?

@DoctorBlackJack

You’re the first one to mention skin color. Maybe people are associating his ridiculous outfit or singing style.. and not so much his skin color. But if that’s what you noticed then maybe you’re the guilty of thinking ‘all black people look alike’.

Jero is way better.

yeah i don’t think “doctorblackjack” was saying all black people look alike…i think he was saying ‘so they think he looks like jero because he’s black?”. i say the same…dude looks nothing like jero, just looks like a random skinny black guy.

moominsean, you summed up my thoughts exactly!

@ Billy
I agree Jero is way better. I was just unsure why this guy is getting such a tv highlight when there is no resemblance.
