Reported yesterday by Japan Today, Jero will be making his acting debut on the big screen in the upcoming movie Donju. Jero will play the role as a young punk named Akira, who’s making a living by selling books, door-to-door sales and making deliveries for a ramen shop. Director Hideaki Hosono seems to be very pleased with his performance and said that lots of offers will be coming his way. Jero received compliments for his sense of humor and good acting. I’m definitely giving it a shot when it comes out in May 2009.

So, what do you think about Jero, music-wise? I think he’s a good Enka singer, but I think he should drop the hip-hop thing, I don’t know about you but I don’t think Enka and hip-hop is a very good mix. I also wonder what black American hip-hop artists think about him!
In case you haven’t heard any of his songs, here’s Umiyuki.
What’s your opinion?
