[@storbokki371]

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.

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)! 🌺

[@HonokaKatayama]

Love the spirit. Thank you! x

[@robertfujisaki5348]

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!🙂

[@HonokaKatayama]

Oooo! Thank you! Much appreciated! x

[@kguoukey]

“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.

[@greenlanternjedi]

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.

[@MosesKamai]

Wow, well done, Honoka and Hinako. Never heard that song before but love the lei pua kenikeni. Inspired to go learn this song now.

[@hawaii5298]

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.
