Honoka - Ku'u Lei Puakenikeni (ft Hinako Kanda)
Музыка
So happy to share this collaboration with Miss Hula Japan 2018 and my dear friend Hinako Kanda. Her elegant, yet powerful hula is sooo mesmerizing... it was an absolute dream to sing and watch her tell the story of this mele so beautifully. x
Here's a song that we both love, written by Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett, in memory of his late son and their love that is strung, knotted, and cherished forever like a lei of pua kenikeni.
Much love
Honoka
Huge mahalo the talented Dai Wako for capturing this moment!
Go show them some love!

When I'm stressed out, or just need to get away, or need help realizing what paradise would be like, I watch this video again.

Mahalo. Both of you, MAHALO! Honoka, you are particularly stunning in this video.
Absolutely lovely! My wife was born and raised in Kealakekua but we live in Texas :-( We literally had just arrived home with “Hawaiian BBQ” and saw this video has just been posted. So here we sit, dreaming of being back on The Big Isle, eating a decent Texas version of L&L while watching this beautiful production. Thank you so much Honoka(and crew)! 🌺

this is so beautiful, it is a shame I can't like it twice
I tear up seeing how much you've grown since bodysurfing.. and different characters surround you in life now
When you live on the mainland you dream of plate lunches, spam musubis, Saimin and shave ice but this video shared the true essence of Hawaii! Honoka your playing always brings a smile to my face! Thanks for doing so! Mahalo and aloha!🙂

Aw thank you! Definitely out of my comfort zone 🫣🥰
I've been a fan for years. Just visited Hawaii for the first time. You're such a great uke player, I didn't know you had the voice of angel, too.
I loved this. Thank you both for such a beautiful piece. ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
“Hapa”did the concdert in japan about 2 decays ago. Contrary to my expectation, most audience (except Japanese) wore Sunglasses with fake leather clothe in a way only those ppl could know. Withe the most exquisite Hula dancer, they showed us what the heaven is. I hope Honoka will realize that her act is also heavenly.
Absolutely beautiful! I love all your songs. Love from Hungary.
My favorite Tim Nguyen painting-like world . Beautiful 🌴
So beautiful, thanks for making this music to be known across the globe!
Honoka what a wonderful presentation! You have provided us all with some peace and comfort!
What a sweet song, and wonderful performance

Really great presentation. By the way saw your performance at the 2022 HI Okinawa Festival on Sunday 9/4/22. Any chance you could post your performance with the taiko drummers and the ? samisen player. It was fantastic!

Can you do "Somewhere over the rainbow "?
Tenor Ukulele?❤️👍❤️
I am following you with great pleasure. Incredibly beautiful music 🌈I'm a musician too, I play the ukulele, but I'm going to buy a new ukulele. The tone of your Ukulele is amazing, can I learn the brand and model 🌸 I would be incredibly happy if you could help me, thank you very much.
Absolutely beautiful! My wife wishes Hinako's dress was shorter, so that she could view her steps better. I was thinking that the dress looked so long that Hinako might trip on it. :D Please post more of these collaborative videos between you two.

@@HonokaKatayama alright we're recreating this video exactly
So, was that planned? Or, did your music just inspire a random stranger to start dancing?
