Arashi? Arashi who? 99% of people in hawaii have no idea who Arashi is. But, 99% of people in japan know Arashi. this boy band had a concert in hawaii last month and it brought millions of dollars to our economy. a tour package from Japan costed $5,000 and over 15,000 people bought it up. more than 160,000 fans applied for the tour package but were declined because lack of seats on flights to hawaii. this concert brought in $20 million in spending, plus $150 million in media exposure for hawaii. it’s crazy how one japanese boy band can pump up our whole economy. thank you Arashi. please come again!

they even opened a temporary store in shirokiya at ala moana shopping center. they sold over $100,000 in merchandise during its first day. omg! who are these guys?
Softbank-and-Sprint
i just heard good news for softbank users. japanese softbank users can use their phones for free in america. really? that’s what i heard and if it’s true, that’s awesome. i might go back to japan and finally get a japanese cell phone, bring it back to hawaii, and use it for free. good idea right?
