Jero – Umiyuki

Here’s Jero’s (ジェロ

Jero’s first single – Umiyuki (海雪)

It’s obvious Victor Entertainment has high hopes for the Pittsburgh native. They got famous Japanese music composer Ryudo Uzaki to write the song and producer Yasushi Akimoto to pen the lyrics. The song Umiyuki is based on the small seaside town of Izumozaki (population 5,400) in Niigata Prefecture that faces the Sea of Japan. But Jero’s gave a funny reply when asked what image he had when singing the song. He said, “well, I’ve only seen the beaches in California so…”, which drew a roar of laughter.
