Kamehameha. The name evokes strength, power and nobility. A fitting description of the man who united the islands of Hawaii and became its first king. It’s a great way to describe the signature attack of martial artist Son Goku, hero from the anime Dragon Ball. In honor of Kamehameha Day, I share with you my Top 5 kamehamehas, as performed…
Let’s rewind a bit. My family didn’t really do summer vacations when I was a kid. Disneyland, Seaworld, Universal Studios…just a bunch of expensive dreams. I settled for the 50th State Fair and Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park (now known as Wet’n’Wild), but even those were spendy. Today I can have the fun of an amusement park ride in the confines of…

Tasting Hakushu 18 in Kobuchizawa. I’m still very much a novice at drinking whisky, but I have learned to appreciate it nonetheless.

Auwē! Miss USA viewers get angry over a question posed to Miss Hawai‘i.
I walked into “Me Before You” yearning for a good dose of the “feels.” As much as I love action films, comic book movies and raunchy comedies, I actually appreciate a great tugging of the heart strings once in awhile. Especially in a summer full of CGI and sequels, I was really hoping “Me Before You” would be a refreshing…

Ahh okazuya.

There’s something epic happening at the Waikiki Shell next Tuesday. London-based electronic music trio Above & Beyond, known for the poignant trance sound that characterizes their music label, Anjunabeats, is holding a show – but it’s not a rave.
