From the
Author of Leilani's Hibiscus, Jon Shirota
Director Koki-san
was very happy that the actors in Leilani's Hisbiscus performed so well
after a long trip from Okinawa. The actors themselves were quite surprised
by the warm response from the audience during and after the performances.
They were very grateful for the unexpected hospitality they received
from the OAA members. For many of them it was their first trip to America
and they will always remember the people they met here. The Kenjinkai
showed them that no matter where you are, Okinawans are Okinawans, always
friendly and caring.
Ichariba Chode.
Once we meet we are brothers forever.
Mata ippei nehi
deberu.
