Oops! Upside Our Heads




boy, are we red-faced

Aloha, Hip Hapa Homeez!

While not publishing our quarterly blog in March was inadvertent (we were traveling), we also recognize that our film work is overtaking our time. Therefore, we’re adapting a new schedule for awhile—at least until our movie is completed.

As of now, we’ll only be publishing a December and June blog post each year. 

This spring in Japan, we visited dozens of shrines and temples to view memorials that honored victims of tragedy. Many Japanese died during WWII, and the memorials reminded us that we are here because our ancestors survived.

Yokoamicho Park

Yokoamicho Park houses a memorial that honors both victims of the Great Kanto Earthquake that killed 100,000 citizens, as we all as the Tokyo firebombing of 1945 that killed over 100,000 civilians.

Although we experienced some somber moments, our travels also encompassed some joyful times. For one, we were able to visit with many good friends; and, one tomodachi even drove us to his Kyoto mountain village home where we fed his goats.

Meanwhile, we’re still diligently editing our Watermelon Sushi narrative, and currently have a short trailer that will post soon on Youtube. 

Please check out our website for the link as we will upload it soon: Watermelon Sushi




And, we have t-shirts!
