Well, after three weeks of hard work, we are back home in Hawai’i. Man, it’s hot here.

First of all, sorry for the delay between writings (exactly one month), but I have been working hard behind the scenes getting ready for summer! Hopefully, it will be worth it, and we can jam!

Secondly, thank you again, I can’t say it enough. Thank you all for coming out and supporting ManoaDNA! This last trip to Japan really showed how much love there is out there, and I am very thankful for all of it. I can’t wait to go back again in July.

Finally, as we take this week off before getting back to our regular schedule, I want to remind all of you that there is a lot of good stuff coming this summer, so stay tuned here and we will surely keep you in the loop!

Aloha,
Nick

Whew, what a trip so far. It has been so busy and hectic, I haven’t had time to take a breath to write on my blog. (I know, Alex and Dad did, but I require more time to sit down and do it). Anyhoo, here’s my Tuesday update for all y’all…

With 9 shows down and 11 or so more to go, we have been jammin’ round Tokyo. First two days we spent in Narita, performing at the Narita Airport’s “Oasis Music Week.” I’ll be honest, I thought it was going to be pretty bad, but it turned out to be ok. Good turn out for all five performances, and everyone really seemed to be in a good mood! Luckily, the last show was mostly people going to Hawai’i anyway, so I think they appreciated getting in the mood.

Yesterday was our first full day performing in Tokyo. We got up and headed to four different show locations, performing for travel industry types and people booking tours! It was really an interesting experience considering we had to play three of the four gigs acoustic. I felt like the old-time Hawai’i performers, showing our craft for anyone who would listen. Really humbling, and brought me back to our beginning days of Manoa DNA!

Well, we’re off to two more gigs in Tokyo, then on to Sendai. Hope everyone is doing well, and thank you to all those readers who came down and supported us!

Aloha,
Nick

Yes I was down, but now I’m back. And better than ever? I don’t know about that, but at least I’m better than I was last week. It was pretty bad, and I thank all of you for your concern and well wishes. It was great to hear from all of you while I was sick!

July is going to be a busy and fun month with the 4th of July concert, Wildest Show and Japan tour all jam packed into one month! I don’t know where or when I am going to sleep during this whole thing, but be ready for a lot of fun!

Hopefully this time, I can get some pictures up! Especially since a lot of you are my facebook friends!
