Ukulele Wonder Kid Meet Local Boy Superstar

This weekend i had a chance to play in a Celebrity Kickball Tournament for the Aloha United Way. Thanks to this fun and absolutely hilarious event I got to play catch up with some old friends, namely Bruce Shimabukuro, Chris Salvador and Jody Kamisato of Ukulele Hale. Jody told me he got to meet the now world famous Makoto a.k.a The Cute Ukulele Kid who sings Jason Mraz I’m Yours.

I found a You Tube video of this chance meeting and you just have to see this for your self.

FYI: Meeto World is a Language school currently teaching Japanese, Korean and soon Chinese online! check out our weekly Ustream shows for Japanese and Sake lessons for now! Why Meeto World? Well Meeto is a play on the katakana pronunciation of “meet” or “meet up”. Meeto also is a play on “Mi” for “3″ and “Tomodachi” for “Friends” as in Japanese we often truncate and concatenate words. Lastly the old school way of pronouncing the number “3″ and “10″ would been “Mee Tou” and “Ten Sai”. (Tensai also means “Genius” just to add that special touch).
