Hello, Again
Wow, our break lasted a few more months than planned. Sorry! We were practicing for the Okinawan Festival (it went well) and intended to return after that.

Karakui YouTube Playlist for Summer 2024
We’ve been thinking of doing this and we finally got around to putting a playlist together. Although there is a kind of order to the playlist, it may be best to listen to it on shuffle. Leave a comment if you have any questions regarding any of the artists on the playlist. Enjoy!

Our Favorites of 2023
It’s almost the end of the year 🎊 so here’s our favorite releases from 2023 🔥.

In reaction to this, a prominent Okinawan stage (Okinawa…

End of Twitter
As popular as Twitter is was, we know that many people here didn’t have an account so most of our tweets didn’t matter. So the end of Twitter (of course the service isn’t gone yet but it’s nowhere near the same after a crazy rich man bought it) can be seen as a blessing in…
