Itis in the stories of our kūpuna that we are reminded that our people were, and still are, true visionaries. Holding within us ideas that can shape the future of our islands, and arguably the world, for the better.
I frequently traverse up Haʻikū Valley, located in the ahupuaʻa of Heʻeia. There remain a handful of individuals working to bring about new life to a place that has faced detriment from the military during World War II, and thereafter during the construction of the H-3.
After our workday clearing Kānehe-kili heiau, myself and fellow volunteers gathered to eat lunch. We immediately began to satiate ourselves with ʻai and as we ate, we were fed by Aunty Mahealani Cypher, a living treasure in our community, with intimate place-based knowledge.
The final strand is then braided in as she presents the vision that she and many of the kūpuna in our community, and those that are with us in spirit, have to establish a cultural preserve in the valley, through the nonprofit Koʻolau Foundation.
With the closing of this vision and completion of this lei of knowledge, it is then placed upon all of us. This ʻike triggers a calling in our naʻau to return to mālama this place and transform it into a place of healing and learning as it once was for our kūpuna. Haʻikū then serves as a newfound piko for all of us who mālama. It is through conducting mālama ʻāina and ʻaha ʻāina that we develop a collective understanding of place, and what needs to be done for that place.
It is in this work to restore the valley that we develop a connection that is hard to put into words. It is a connection that is seemingly woven into all of us through the sharing of stories, that then develops an internal drive to see that our stories go beyond memory and dreams to become a visual reality.

The reason I wanted to restart it is because I saw SO MANY English comments under his new MV and was like WHERE HAVE YOU ALL BEEN IN MY LIFE?!! And tbh this blog of mine has turned into more of an anime blog than a Piko one (sorry about that ?) so I hope that we can connect more on Twitter. That would make it easier for me to share the latest updates about him too!
I haven't checked in with Piko since like 2014. There are so many new songs. So many. Holy oh my god. I used to be absolutely obsessed with his music as a preteen. /And/ there's a new Akapiko album coming out in a couple months. I am living like a KING right now I hope you know. ;O;
- Poltergeist: He sang the new original live for the first time in the evening show today. And it was so good. He sang it perfectly and with the tension of the live it sounded even better than the recording. A lottt of headbangings!! I was shaking my head so much my neck hurts xDD But it was totally worth it!
- Make Our Days: He sang it in both encores. There is a movement he came up with during the chorus where we the audiences would raise the fingers to count the days as the lyrics go. It was super fun and refreshing doing it with everyond. And he was jumping around the stage like a kid. It was so cute.
By the way, Piko will be in another live called Jack in the Vox on December 22, with other utaites like Kony, Nero, Noristry, konoko, Touyu. The ticket will be all sale from tomorrow and there will be a streaming ticket for just 2000 yen so foreign fans might be able to watch it too!
