Our plane landed in Honolulu around 9:30am this morning, and I immediately came home and fell asleep for about 3 hours. I’m still very jet-lagged but very happy to be able to sleep in my own bed! Our flight home was quite full which is a good thing since that means that more tourists are …
It’s a sunny and humid morning here on our last day in Yokohama. We fly back to Hawaii tonight after a busy but productive week of HTJ promotions which I hope will encourage more people to visit our beautiful island home! This trip been very demanding physically on all of us so I think everyone …
We just finished our last performance – #21 – and are totally exhausted! The last show was at Bay Quarter in Yokohama and it was HOT! Luckily, our people told the stage guys not to turn on the lights so the heat wasn’t as bad as it could have been! We’ve made so many new …
It’s Sunday and the final day of performances on this summer tour! This will be our 20th and 21st shows and although we’ve busted our butts on this trip, we’ve also had a lot of fun and have made many new fans. We’re so fortunate to have the opportunity to come to Japan and share …
We just got back from dinner with our good friends, Aiko and Yoshiaki Taguchi, and the took us to their favorite restaurant in Chinatown here in Yokohama. The meal was so awesome and my favorite dish was the shark fin soup with crab roe … delicious! A big mahalo to the Taguchis for the kind …
Good morning! I had a pretty good sleep last night although I woke up a couple of times to drink some water. I don’t like sleeping with air conditioning since it gives me dry mouth and is bad for the vocal chords. I think I’m going to skip breakfast this morning and just relax before …
Sorry – we left Sendai early this morning on the shinkansen so I didn’t have time to update my blog.  We just arrived in Yokohama after another busy day performing in Koshigaya and Shiodome … and boy, this schedule is really starting to take its toll on us. I can tell because it’s getting harder …
It’s around 10:30pm and we just arrived at our hotel in Sendai. We caught the Shinkansen out of Tokyo Station after our last performance at the JTB offices in Shinjuku. To all of you who came out to see us at the Imperial Hotel and Shinjuku, we send you a big “Mahalo!” We’ll be in …
It’s another overcast day and I’m beginning to wonder whether there is going to be any sun at all! Actually, I prefer the overcast skies because it keeps the temperature cooler. I’m going to skip the breakfast buffet this morning and just pick up some coffee at Starbuck’s … not really hungry after pigging out …
We just got back from dinner at Carne Station next to Donki in Shiodome. As usual, we ate and drank too much but what the heck … we deserved it after today’s grueling schedule! Although today’s performances were quite exhausting, it was nice to see a lot of our friends and fans who came out …
