Description: Jero aka Jerome White makes his long-awaited U.S. concert debut in celebration of the JACCCs 30th Anniversary. As the first professional African American enka singer in the history of Japanese music, Jero has single-handedly reignited interest in the musical ballads that emerged in Japans post-war era.

Critics have lauded the way this meteoric talent has managed to mold an old musical genre around a modern context in a way that appeals to both old and new generations. Looking like a hip-hop star, with a voice of an angel, he has redefined the Soul of Japan.

Public sale starts on February 1.
