Ms. Hiromi Takemoto is one beautiful and very talented lady who is a Professional Hawaiian Vocalist, Hula Instructor and plays the Ukulele in Japan! She frequently performs with KONISHIKI and ALANI YAMAUCHI who adds a nice tropical mix to the outsource end of the band. She and I are on the planning stage to collaborate more frequently from this year.

I had a wonderful pleasure to work with her at the beautiful Pacific Venus Cruise Ship and sailed its way from Yokohama, Japan all the way to the islands of Kauai and Oahu.
