Information

COVERS is JERO's debut mini-album. It was released in three editions: a limited edition CD+DVD version, a CD only version and a casette version. The DVD features the music video for his hit single Umiyuki, as well as assorted documentary/interview/live content. All songs are covers of Enka standards, mostly dating from the 1970s. Kimi Koishi is backed with a jazz band, and Busan-kou e Kaere features guitar back-up from former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman.

Hisame was used as the Kirin Fire Cafe Zero CM song (starring JERO himself), and was available as a chaku-uta ringtone before the release of the mini-album.
