Rinshin No Mori 2007
Mahalo to keiki and wahine for dancing for the annual Rinshin No Mori Festival. It was beautiful weather! The sunshine energized us, and the peaceful green park was calming and refreshing! Sharing our aloha with the crowd was the main goal for this show. And that we did! We smiled a lot and in return received positive energy from everyone! Our group was lucky enough to dance at this festival 2 years in a row. It is such a nice way to share our aloha to a relaxed and eager crowd. Big Mahalo to Masayo for organizing the event!
ケイキとワヒネはりんしんのもりフェスティバルで大活躍！天候にも恵まれました。太陽光に加え緑に囲まれて踊るのはとても新鮮かつリラックスできる場所でした。フラブーティーのゴールのひとつである私達のAloha精神を共有することです。こんかいのパフォーマンスでそれを達成することができた達成感で満ち溢れました。笑顔が飛び交いみんなの心が一つになったとてもすばらしい一日でした。２年連続でパフォーマンスできたことに感謝し、これからも私達のAloha精神をたくさんの人達と共有していきたいと考えています。今回のイベントはマサヨがやってくれました。ありがとう！
Oedo
Everyone worked so hard to make OEDO fest 2007 a success. Not only was it a success, but our performance was OUTSTANDING! I received so many positive comments on our program, and our energy. Everyone should be so proud!
I know I am!
皆が一生懸命頑張って練習した結果、今年の大江戸も大成功でした！ いや、ただの成功ではなく、私達のパフォーマンスは素晴らしかったんじゃないかな！？
終わった後、沢山の良いコメントをもらいました。 皆、自分達の出来に自信を持って、誇りに思って下さい！
私は、皆の事を誇りに思います！
Here are a few pics:
Rinshi No Mori
October 22, 2006, Hulabootie keiki and wahine shined on the grassy (rocky) area in the beautiful Rinshi no Mori Park in Meguro Ku. This park has towering trees, walking paths, and beautiful green everywhere. We were very lucky to find this free event (thanks to Masayo). Although the same groups cannot perform two years in a row, the lady asked us to come back year after next---FOR SURE we'll be there!
A handfull of keiki were able to come to the event---I was happy to see different keiki perform. Totah, Kanna, Becca, and Izzy made their stage debut on the grass! Sasha, Avvie, Sara, Reira and Sally are veterans to the stage, so they felt right at home!
Angleux and Azabu Gals heated the crowd up with their sexy pareos, and kind lei giving during "Ku'u Lei Awapuhi." They really shared their aloha that day by finding friends and strangers in the crowd to "lei."
Atusgi, Shonan, Yoyogi, and Gakugei girls showed up with their smiles for "Aloha I'a Waianae" and "Lei Halia." Everyone was very relaxed and looked beautiful in their different colored pa'u skirts. Otsukaresama Wahine and Keiki!
Fukudenkai-Orphanage
8/27/06, Sunday. Hulabootie Keiki had the opportunity to perform at "the" oldest orphanage/school in Japan. The land the orphanage was built on was donated by the emperor in the Mejii era. Currently, there are nearly 100 kids living there (tucked away near Hiroo Station, Tokyo). On the day we visited, the orphanage held a matsuri with many tents with games and food. It was a lot of fun! Mahalo Fukudenkai!
8月27日、ケイキが児童養護学校のお祭りに行き、フラを踊りました。
福田会は明治時代に皇室から寄付されてできた日本で1番古い福祉法人です。現在ではほぼ100人の子供達が、広尾の小さな自然に囲まれて共同生活をしながら学んでいます。
ステージの回りには、沢山のテントが並び、私達も学校の皆と触れ合う事ができ、楽しい時間を過ごしました。
Hulabootie Keiki wowed the crowd with their colorful costume, beautiful smiles, and swaying hips.
ケイキの皆は色とりどりの衣装を着て、可愛い笑顔でおしりをフリフリして、沢山の観客と笑顔を喜びをシェアしました。
When we arrived at the orphanage, we didn't expect to see so many people! We were greeted warmly by teachers from the orphanage/school, and escorted to a raised stage decorated for the festival.
私たちは予想を越える沢山の温かい人々（先生方）に迎えられ、手作りの素晴らしいステージで躍らせてもらいました。
Keiki danced Kawika, Ulapalakua, Hawaiian 5, and Hukilau. Masami, Momo and Masayo, volunteered to help, and they too ended up on stage!
ケイキはウルパラクアとハワイアン５とフキラウを踊りました。 雅美、桃、正代もステージにあがって１曲披露！

Avvie's Stage Debut
Avvie was a bit scared behind stage. It was dark; the stage was big and there were about 400 people in the audience. But once the spotlight came on, and the music started playing, Avvie zoned in and started smiling and dancing! What a special day for her, and all the other Hulabootie girls who lit up the stage!
