How many artist get to sing with Celine. She is one lucky girl. I really don't know why the single didn't do too well on the Oricon chart. I would think with a fan base of both artists, this single would propel to the top spot, but failed to do so. Anyway, as for the song Mahaloha, I remember passing by the park (Mother Waldron Neighborhood Park) in Kakaako and saw a Japanese crewing filming the music video.

As an American living in Tokyo, I think I could really get into some of these types of Japanese-English songs because I love absorbing the local trends and modern culture of Japan. However, I don't think it would really have a lot of commercial appeal in the lower 48 (I think maybe the more Hawaiian-inspired music has the potential to have a huge following in Hawaii because all of the artists have roots there and their music lets that show). I also liked Yuna Ito, but Melody was a little too pop for my tastes. I can see, though, how she would be very popular here in Japan for the 40 and under generation who is really into that type of music. I didn't expect to like Def Tech, but I think they have a really good flow together, and I always like the mixture of language that Japanese music brings. I was impressed with all of these artists. Thanks for sharing! I will be looking for their music when I shop! I really really liked Angela Aki.
