- 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!

[Lyrics]
E ku'u lei pua kenikeni
E ku'u lei 'ala onaona
E ku'u lei makamae
Hi'ilei mau i ku'u poli
E ku'u lei pua kenikeni
E ku'u lei 'ala onaona
E ku'u lei makamae
Hi'ilei mau i ku'u poli
He aloha e, aloha lā
Aloha 'oe e ku'u ipo
He aloha e, aloha lā
He aloha lā ea
E ku'u lei pua kenikeni
Ma ku'u poli mai 'oe
E nānea ana kāua
E naue mai e pili
Pili ho'oipoipo
Pau 'ole ko'u ho'ohihi
Me 'oe e ku'u lei aloha
Kau ana lā i ka heke
Hiehie me ka 'ōpua
He aloha e, aloha lā
Aloha 'oe e ku'u ipo
He aloha e, aloha lā
He aloha lā ea
E ku'u lei pua kenikeni
Puana 'ia e ku'u lei
E ku'u lei pua kenikeni
Ka mea e li'a mau nei
Poina 'ole i ka hali'a
Puana 'ia e ku'u lei
E ku'u lei pua kenikeni
Ka mea e li'a mau nei
Poina 'ole i ka hali'a
He aloha e, aloha lā
Aloha 'oe e ku'u ipo
He aloha e, aloha lā
Aloha 'oe e ku'u ipo
He aloha e, aloha lā
He aloha lā ea
E ku'u lei pua kenikeni

A true blessing to hear and see a beautiful combination of voice, ukelele,dance, song lyrics,and island scenery. One can feel the special Hawaii spirit and dedication of culture through dance and song. Thank you both so much for your exquisite performance and talents. Much love.
Thank you! This means a lot to us! 🫶🏽
Beautiful, Honoka and Hinako! So lovely 💕
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)! 🌺
Love the spirit. Thank you! x
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.
Everything about this was absolutely beautiful!
Aw what a compliment! Thank you!
싱그러운 아침을 만들어주네요.
You have a beautiful voice, and make the ukulele an art I love your songs🤍 this was absolutely beautiful

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.

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!🙂

It’s almost too beautiful
🥺🤍

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!
Beautiful... everything beautiful.
🤍🤍🤍
So beautifilled, exuding intrinsic wah, light and love, Gratitude and Thank You Honoka and Hinako and Videographer and crew, LovExpresse
“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.
My favorite Tim Nguyen painting-like world . Beautiful 🌴
Really miss your videos and music Honoka! To me you are the spirit of Hawaii, and I live in Colorado where we have Mountains but no Oceans - so please do not withhold from us of the essence of Hawaii!
✨✨✨
❤
This is so beautiful. Scenery, singing & playing are perfect. Those harmonies too. Really enjoyable video. Thank you. 🎶🎵😍😍👏👏👏👏🎤🎤🌷🌷
De Costa Rica! Envio saludos y felicitaciones! Hermoso tema musical 🎶!
I tear up seeing how much you've grown since bodysurfing.. and different characters surround you in life now
Choke kine nani!!! Mahalo 🥰 I was feeling down. Not anymore 🤙🏽
So, was that planned? Or, did your music just inspire a random stranger to start dancing?
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 love your music wow! I like style your dance from Hawaii. I wish to go over sea.
Envío Saludos y felicitaciones! De mi país Costa Rica! Hermoso escuchar ese cantico musical !! Felicitaciones 🎶
Honoka, you inspire so many people to play ukulele, I'm one of those ありがとう
Honoka what a wonderful presentation! You have provided us all with some peace and comfort!

@@HonokaKatayama alright we're recreating this video exactly
This transported me from start to finish! Thank you for this work of art!!
Same I can’t stop watching her dance 🫶🏽
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.
Beautiful. Thanks to all involved.
