Good morning all! Before I get into today’s blog post, I want to take a moment to thank you all for the birthday wishes! Between ManoaDNA’s Facebook page, all the Twitter comments, and personal messages I received, it made my day VERY special! Now, on to the news! It’s the last day of February, making …
When it comes to ManoaDNA, with gigs at least three times a week, you take “vacation” days whenever you can! While Alx works in Japan, Dad & I have the weekend off and will be spending it doing something fun (I hope)! As for the last two weeks, they weren’t as fun as the previous …
As we head back from Japan, I wanted to post a quick update from the road! Hope everyone’s 2014 is going awesome, and I hope you enjoy these updates! First, a reminder that we just finished our second episode on the HI*Sessions YouTube page. We performed four songs, and were interviewed in a small behind-the-scenes …
Happy 2012 (Dangit, why did I go backwards?!) 2014 everyone!! What a year 2013 was, right?! I already complained about 2013, so it’s up to 2014 to be better and more fun! Here’s a little glimpse into my wishes for the new year… Health & Prosperity I wish that all of you, all of my …
2013 was a roller coaster. There was so much turbulence in the world, that I hope 2014 does not repeat! Let’s take a look at the year that was… Starting in California, we got to taste some great wine in Napa Valley while we stayed at the Kenzo Estate Winery! What a treat! This year …
Aloha Everyone! We’ve been on tour in Japan for the last two weeks, so I apologize for the slow updates! Also, there are some bugs between the new website and the postings to Facebook/Twitter/etc, so I apologize for that as well! This one-man tech team is on the case, but let’s get to the updates! …
Hello everyone, hope you’re doing well and enjoying the new ManoaDNA.com layout. Much more simpler for us to use, but let me know if you are missing anything important! Since we are off to Japan in a couple of days, I thought I would practice my video shooting/editing skills with a new ManoaDNA.tv segment called, …
As a follow-up to last week’s question “Is More Content Better Than Good Content” and your personal branding, here are the responses I received… Thank you to those who wrote in. I definitely want to make more “Brocurrences,” but budget-wise it is very restrictive! To Christine, I actually have a webpage (http://nickkawakami.com), but it only …
Aloha Everyone! Before I dive into the heavy subject I led with, let’s get some updates from the world of ManoaDNA! In the beginning of October, we were asked to pose as musicians for an upcoming Japanese feature film called “My Guide to Hawaii.” It was an awesome experience being an extra on a film …
First off, really happy that there were some good responses to last week’s question: “Where is your dream vacation?” Thanks for the responses, and add your comment at the bottom of this post! Now, onto regular business! I would first like to start off with compliments to a chef. I actually hate any inkling of …
