Jero in Concert
Japanese music superstar Jerome Charles White, Jr., aka Jero, the first professional African American enka singer in the history of Japanese music, makes his long-awaited U.S. concert debut in celebration of the JACCC's 30th Anniversary. Jero has single-handedly reignited interest in the musical ballads that emerged in Japan's post-war era and has redefined the soul of Japan.
Raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jero grew up listening to his Japanese grandmother's recordings ofenka legends, including Misora Hibari. After appearing on a Japanese television contest, he landed a recording contract rising to the top of the charts with his hit single Umiyuki (Snowy Sea). Jero was named the best new performer of 2008.

Tickets start at $50 with premium seats available for $100. Public sales for Jero tickets are available to the public at the conclusion of the members pre-sale on February 1st.

thats expensive for somebody not as popular as utada or glay ...
i would have prefer to get x japan for a full concert in LA

[zyoeru]

Whoa that's a hefty sum.

[Polyrhythm]

LMAO! He's that guy from last year's Kouhaku right? I totally thought he was going to break out into some rap-hip hop thing (because of how he was dressed not because of his race)....but he started to sing in a really magnificent fashion. Saw his grandma too...she looked really moved. Good luck to him on his concert

[Amrai-chan]

He's going to be in San Fransisco too I think.

I love him. I want to go see him but why does it have to be so expensive?

Keiko Matsui is there too!?

Oh that is not fair. I bet it will be awesome.

[SunshineSlayer]

This is more like a cultural event for Japanese americans, thats why the ticket prices are higher and I'm sure they will have no problem selling. I would have gone too except I will already be in Japan by that time.

[AyUta]

Ah! I'm so happy for Jero! He's become so successful!

[kirei_ayumi]

`! jero, whoa expensive
oooo and keiko matsui, what a gonner..

[happiholic★]

It's cool that he's coming to the US. I think that anyone who buys tickets based on his appearance are going to be very surprised Oh well, I doubt that anyone who doesn't already know who he is will be there. Hope it sells well.
