A longstanding rumor originating in the DDRMAX era stated that Rom's first name in full is "Giovanna". However, in June 2023 the longstanding rumor has been disproved, with Melody Castellari stating on Instagram private messaging that she was the singer for "WWW.Blonde Girl." [3] The male voice was sung by Mauro Farina. Jenny Rom is a studio project, and her songs were sung by in-house studio artists at the time the tracks were made. Castellari was not told that this song she sang would be titled as Jenny Rom.
