		<description>Believe it or not, there is a subcultural of non-Japanese who sing enka. I&#039;m an American who taught English near Tokyo for a year. A student turned me on to Hibari Misora, a true talent and enka legend. I learned her songs, sang them at karaoke clubs, and eventually on a Japanese TV show called Gaikokujin Kaiyo Taisho--Foreigner Singing Contest. Through that program I met many like me, from all over the world, with the same love of the genre. The funny thing is that I&#039;m a 6 foot 2 guy, football-player-build, and my signature song was &quot;Minato machi ju san banchi&quot;, a wistful tune about a girl waiting for her sailor to return from the sea. Good times.</description>

		<description>First of all can I say that the whole thing was about Jero.  I find the young man very impressive, and the fact that any American or whoever non - Japanese can sing the wonderful enka music is awesome.  I just don&#039;t think there is a need to slander Japanese women and who they sleep with or blacks and all the other stereo-types out there.  The part about learning the language my be very and I stress &quot;VERY&quot; helpful.  I speak Japanese Fluently and I seem to have no problem with the Japanese, but when you do or say things to disrespect people you invoke the evil in them.  My wife and I have been married for quite some time and the crazy thing is I knew Japanese before I met her.  Most of all I didn&#039;t learn in Japan.  Enough of that, Jero is a very impressive young man, and maybe some other groups in Japan will see that he is getting some good press with the enka and start singing those songs of ol&#039;.  There are a lot of good groups in Japan, and would like to see who&#039;s good the skill to join Jero.  In the end, let&#039;s keep it clean and stay cool!!

		<description>Japs marrying Blacks is the eXCEPTION, not the rule. Most japanese girls are apeshit for whites and other non-Blacks, and japs generally respect anyone but Blacks.</description>

		<description>ViolentAJ that&#039;s not true. My mom is Japanese, she was born in Japan, was raised in Japan, and only could speak Japanese until she married my father who is African American and has very dark skin. They&#039;ve been married for 30 years now and I know other Japanese/African or African American couples in my church who&#039;ve been together even longer than they have and have children as well. Such couples DO exist and I&#039;m proud to be one of those &quot;beautiful half Black half Japanese children&quot; SH mentioned.

I found out about Jero from my mom, she&#039;s a big fan of his.</description>
