Hi all, one week to go before we head back to the motherland for a short tour with the city of Honolulu. Hope to see all of you natives up there as we will have an extended concert celebrating the sister city relationship between Honolulu and Hiroshima!

Last weekend was bad because the Hawai’i Warrior football team lost an embarrassing game to nationally-ranked Boise St. There is little to say about the loss, and I think I am so devastated that I don’t wanna be seen on camera in a vlog right now.

So, as I lick my wounds and heal up, I will hopefully have something for you guys later this week. Stay tuned!

Happy Friday everyone, tonight is the debut of Manoa NA at Lulus! With Dad gone, Manoa DNA loses a D and turns into Manoa NA! Hope to see you all down there as it should be a VERY interesting experiment.

For a little laugh…

Fresh off the plane from beautiful, sunny Seattle, we are packing up and getting ready for our trip over the rest of the Pacific Ocean tomorrow. We are really looking forward to kicking off the 2009 Hawaii Tourism Japan Campaign tours, and are looking forward to seeing all our Japan friends!

Last Year’s Kagura Trip in Akiohtacho!

Check out our schedule for all the times and locations of where we will be.

Aloha and Sayooonara!

Well we are back home now, after a long (hot) trip to Japan. For those that weren’t there, here’s what you missed:

We performed for Nittele TV’s 55th Anniversary show, which wasn’t really a show as it was a festival. This stage was sweet! Sandwiched between the giant Nittele TV building and the Shiseido (makeup) building, they had booths, demonstrations, live shows, music, and of course THIS GUY:

He was the MC for the whole entire show and the hardest working man there. He did everything from MC the shows, to sing the festival theme song, to broadcast live on the radio! He’s my hero.

Anyway, we enjoyed four short shows over two days and were featured twice on Nittele TV’s weather report. Thanks Tokyo! We’ll be back soon!
