Shinichi! Thank you for featuring me! It was so much fun hanging out with you and Satoshi and walking around Kaka'ako talking about art and everything else! So much fun! I really appreciate you folks so much and for all your great videos you do on all your channels! Mahalogozaimasu! Shoots, k-den Aloha =)

Glad you and Luke were able to collaborate. He is a treasure!!

The murals are nice. They take the industrial/neglect away. And when there's pretty plants directly in front, the murals become as though 'sky'. A walk in cloud.

Big fan of Luke’s channel. Thanks for featuring him!

Luke is a cool guy, so mellow and nice. Love the art walk! Thank you for showing.

I absolutely LOVE Photo Luke Hawaii. Always positive always informative and always beautiful!

WOW awesome walk thanks for sharing this video with us all take care stay safe ❤️😘🤩🥰☺️🏵️🌸🌼

That tree looked like Melaleuca quinquenervia, what we call a paperbark here, though there are several Melaleuca species that are called paperbarks. It’s not a eucalypt but in the same family (Myrtacaea). They grow in warm climates, often in damp places. You can use the bark to wrap a fish before putting it on a barbecue. This steams the fish, just as if you had used foil. There are lots of paperbarks in the wetlands near where I live, not far from Moreton Bay.

Thank you Shinichi, Satoshi and Luke for the video. The street art is cool. Great walk. The spider guy looks like Mr. T.

The murals are beautiful!

The tree that you were curious about is a Melaleuca, which there are 300 species. The common name is a paperbark , honey-myrtles or tea-trees. The bark of the tree was one of the first mediums used in the construction of paper.

I have a Pow! Wow! t-shirt that I love to wear just to represent the collective of incredible artists around Honolulu, those art walls are so awesome 22:13 For some reason I love how Satoshi is just doing his own thing and taking pictures of fire hydrants and stuff😂

nice seeing Photoluke in your vid. cool guy he is -may the force be with you. thanks Shinichi for the nice graffiti art tour.

Luke is an awesome guy and so is his family. Love that you guys got together and colaborated. Enjoying the banter and walk. Also. Maybe 3 blocks away on Queen Street there is also, 2 breweries, dog friendly too.

Aloha 🌺 Shinichi, Satoshi & Luke! Haven't seen Kakaako in a long time. TFS! Beautiful artwork! 🥰

Love Pow Wow Hawaii. I actually worked with Sergio Garzon when he was working at the art museum.

kevin lyons is an icon from y2k art boom but he’s still a giant behind the scenes working w giant brands as a creative head 🤘🏻

I love REAL street art that is done with the consent of the owners of the building like these obviously are and becasue they don't need to rush their work they can pull off outstanding things.

Thank you for this vlog. Luke is a treasure trove of local information! Your conversations are fantastic!

Wow! That was fun! Kaka'ako has changed since I was last there--the art is fabulous. So colorful and vibrant! Thanks to wonderful Luke for being your guide. I really enjoy his channel. And thanks to you, Shinichi (and Satoshi), for always taking us to interesting local places. Just some random tidbits of info (they fill my head): The I'iwi is otherwise know as the Scarlet Honeycreeper (it eats flower nectar) and is most plentiful on the big Island. And, I believe the tree you were looking at is a Cajeput tree (Paperbark or Tea tree) which is native to Australia.

It was good to see you and Satoshi with Photo Luke. Love the artwork in the Kakaako area. It's really changed. I wonder if the hole in the wall restaurants are still there.

Sorry I missed your livestream...a little too early in Hawaii to watch, but loved your walk thru Kaka'ako's street art. Can't wait for all your other videos to come out.

I LOVE street art! Thank you for showing me around. (When I visit Hawaii I know where to go for some street art.)

I LOVE IT!!!!! Cool Art 🖼 🤙🏻👍🏻

The building across the street looks like the back of the old Fisher Hawaii warehouse. Also, Italian Ices is like a sorbet. If you grew up in Hawaii, Maui folks called it Goodie Goodie (“guri guri”). Looks like you can have it with shave ice and boba from that truck.

Awesome video guys. Love ❤️ the artwork. The Highway inn is near there.

Hmmm i was also playing Spot a Banksie! Or the artist him or herself…Luke should keep an eye out for one…. Laurie NZ.

I've watched an episode of Doogie Kamealoha :D I wanted to check if it would be a good show for my nieces to watch. It's a pretty fun show!

I just told a friend in Hawaii about this video and Luke's channel. I hope he checks it out. :)

To clarify about the rail plan on O'ahu... the train route is only being shortened by one station under the present revised plan... instead of ending at Ala Moana Center, it will be ending at the place you were doing this waling tour... Kaka'ako! So people can take the train from the airport into Honolulu, but they won't be able to transfer onto buses to Waikiki at Ala Moana Center.

Very fun!

Shinichi: At 24:06, that's Kikaida's arch nemesis, Hakaida!

That tree was a paper bark gumtree

Audrey Kawasaki ( wall mural) is a pretty famous contemporary artists from LA.

かわいい😃

In Australia they are paperbarks or sometimes TeaTree plants.

Thanks really enjoyed this and a new sub to Lukes channel…Laurie NZ. Banksie are there? Lol…

If I'm not mistaken that's the park where a Japanese couple was attacked by some drug addicts a few years back. Some homeless people came to their aid. I think the husband had to be hospitalized as a result and the community crowd funded to cover his medical expenses. It was a big issue when it happened. The Consulate of Japan in Hawaii even issued a warning for Japanese tourists of the dangers in that area

I would love to hear the whole story of district development, the competition between Kapolei, and Kakaako.

That tree could be Melaleuca pallida commonly known as a bottle brush it is an Australian native

Beautiful building artwork. Yes, I agree Shinichi Masks are 100% effective. When c19 was first reported I was wearing a white N95 medical mask. I am a prepper I was ready. These were high quality and I wore them each for 2 days sometimes just the gross gey/black stains that appeared just from common pollution make me want to wear a mask randomly even after this is all over. btw 7 of the 15 people I work with came down with Covid and 2 of them have passed away. None of the 7 wore masks until it was law here temporarily. For some, it was too late.

Is this the main land where most of tourists visit?

honeycreepers

For much of the world, Hawaii is idyllic. For you guys, Hawaii was a playground.

Hawaii must be a bit seductive . . . so many of the business community allowing so many to make these contributions.

O waw Doogie Howser MF studio lot I watched it way back the

The reason we don't actually reduce the spread of flue is because Americans love sick leave. Unions get support from employees because one of the things a union can get you is more payed sick leave. Americans use sick leave like a needed break from work for family issues or vacations. Employers are fine with this arrangement too. Flue goes around every year because we Americans want it to.
