Last Week in November

Hi Everyone, it’s the last week in November, and with a major month coming up, I thought an update was in order from “N.” One thing that I have been working on is taking photos. I need to make this a habit. Too many experiences have gone by where I wished I had taken a …

Off to Japan Tomorrow!

Aloha everyone, ManoaDNA is off to Japan tomorrow for a small set of shows in Ureshino! I’m really looking forward to it since I we haven’t traveled there in a while (haha, I’m so spoiled ne?). Keep checking up as I will be posting as much updates as I can from the road. It’s also …

Back from Fukuoka

After a quick trip over to Fukuoka (19 hours flying, 54 hours on the ground) with Hawaiian Air, we are back home and gearing up for a killer ManoaDNA week! Just wanted to share some of the highlights with you.

Last Night at Hyatt

Last night was another Wednesday at the SWIM bar in the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. A good crowd flowed in and out throughout the night, and we were blessed with (almost) no rain. I’m still always amazed at how little rain Waikiki gets compared to Manoa valley only a mile away.

How Can ManoaDNA Compete?

Well, it’s happened.  A new low in creative valuation: For $24.99, you can have the new Disney Muppets movie on a hi-definition Blu-Ray, standard resolution DVD, digital copy download from your favorite online retailer, and digital download of the entire soundtrack.  Not to mention the $5 off coupon you can use if you join the …

Listen to ManoaDNA on Hi*Sessions

For those that follow my personal Twitter account, may know that I work on a project called, “Hi*Sessions” with Jon Yamasato, Dave Kusumoto, Vance Morimoto, Raf Bacani, & Jonas Moan.  Once a month, we gather at Dave’s house and invite two artists in to shoot high-definition acoustic music videos.  From international artists like James Hill …

What’s Your Resolutions?

Happy new year everyone! Both traditional and Chinese versions! 大展鴻圖! As the first blog post of 2012, I ask you what your resolutions are because I am still unsure myself. Of course there is the traditional, “eat better,” “make more time for friends,” “drink less,” blah, blah, blah. But this year, I’m thinking much more …
