Ginger Sauce Chicken Pesto.. You got me hungry! Ukulele & Vocalist – Yoshiko Slack Key Guitar & VO/Chorus – Makalani Dancer and vocalist – Saki (she couldn’t make it today) Hula and sometimes vocals – Miyuu I’m Ichimura, the handy man of the group. Play the bass, recording, artwork, You also drive

Oh yeah, I also drive the band We just happened to get together. Miyuu and my Halau had a Christmas party, and Makalani and I were playing music, while Miyuu and Saki danced. On that day, we thought it would be fun if we did a gig together.

We just went with the flow. Congratulations on your Na Hoku Hanohano Award Nomination! Thank you! How did it feel to win? We were so happy to know that our music was being heard in Hawaii. We’re very grateful for it! I first met Josh.. Simply put it, on TikTok.

At the beginning, Josh would play the ukulele on TikTok, And I would dance along with it. Before we knew it, we got engaged. TikTok date 🙂 I’m really excited I’ve lived in Japan for 30 years, so I have uncertainties too. Everything, from friends to work will be new to me there.

It’ll all be new. But in all, I’m looking forward to it. Thank you for coming today How do you feel before the show? Sleepy 🙂 But you’re the youngest here… Sleepy, but a lot of people I know are here, so it’s gonna be fun! So cute He really loves this shop.

What’s his name? Lino.. It’s a Hawaiian name. Before we start, I just wanted to let you know that Vance is here today to film us for his YouTube channel 🙂 Like a drama, a love story began, Crossing a vast sea. Hand in hand

I hope you’ll be happy for a long time That’s all I wish for you I hope you’ll be happy for a long time That’s all I wish for you
