New Year Hapa-ness

 Aloha, Hip Hapa Homeez!

Hau’oli Makahiki Hou! Akemashite Omedettou Gozaimasu! Happy New Year! 

I know we all say it every year, but next year’s gotta be better than this one was, right?

I guess that remains to be seen. 

Meanwhile, in the 12/31/2024 post, this question was posed: Do you think that the mixed-race agenda has become obsolete?

Recently, this clip of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing surfaced. Here, she breaks down what she feels is the main impetus of racism. According to her, the more mixed people there are, the fewer so-called ‘pure whites’ who will then be toppled from their positions of power.

How do you feel about that? Do you think the sister was too radical in her thinking? Or, does what she says make absolute sense to you?

Please enjoy these photos from blog posts past.

Moving on, here’s a reminder that we are only publishing on June 30 and December 31 going forward. After a long arduous change in residence, we have finally settled enough to finish editing our Watermelon Sushi film.

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.

And, we have t-shirts!
