We are looking at meeting around 6 to 6:30pm and go to Toys and Joys first to enter their contest. The prize there is a Nintendo Wii as long as their are more than 30 entrants. After we are done there, we will head on over to MechaHawaii for their contest. Once we are done, it is time for Ramen at Tenkaippin in Waikiki, followed by the last Karaoke practice session at GS. You may be asking why a "practice" session. Well, we will be having a small ANIME KARAOKE contest at the end of the night. So, be prepared!

We have the Lunamarie Hawke, and some others that came in. We also have two "Prince of Tennis" costumes. One is the Seigaku, and the other is the Rikkai Univ. costume. The rest are incomplete, but there are enough parts there to make a full costume. Some of the pieces are Chun Li from STREET FIGHTER. There are some incomplete parts to a Renji Abarai from BLEACH. We are looking at setting up a day for anyone who wants to see what we have to come and check it out. Information will be posted soon.

Also, the trivia question for the next meeting is also posted in the trivia section of this website. Hope to see all of you soon!
Dec. 19th, 2006: Well, the year is almost up...
I hope everyone had a good time at the party, and for those who did not attend, the big winner in the "Anime Idol" karaoke contest, was Mari Okazaki! The runner up was Adrian Martin. The judges after the first round could not decide on a winner, so we picked a random song for each. We had Adrian sing the ending song from Densha Otoko TV series " Sekai wo ai toyobundaze!", and had Mari sing the opening song to Kaze Makase "Tomo no Osake". Mari, even though she HATES ENKA, we just had to give it to her. As judge Milton Streeter said, "Anyone who hates ENKA that much, and does the song so well HAS to win!" Anyways, we'll be announcing the 2007 dates shortly. I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Years, and speaking of new years, we hope to see you all the the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii's Ohana festival!

Well, it was another fun night until the 3am hour for us in Waikiki! Kudos to those who made it and spent the night with us! Photos will be posted soon in the GALLERY section of the website! Also, rumors are REALLY strong that Black Lagoon will be soon picked up by the U.S. arm of GENEON entertainment. So, at the next meeting, we plan on a Black Lagoon marathon!

October 17th, 2006: HIFF was AWESOME!
Once again, the 26th annual Hawaii International Film Festival was great for us anime and japanese cinema fans! Satoshi Kon's "PAPRIKA" was a good sci fi thriller, but what blew us away, was the US release of "OTOKO NO TACHI YAMATO"! Probably one of the best war movies ever made period and with character development so powerful, you almost believe you are related to them and want(and in some cases you do) cry with them. We here at OAE rate this movie at two kleenex boxes, and at least for me, I want to go to see the Yamato Museum!
Oct. 13th, 2006: XMAS PARTY SCHEDULED!!!
Yes, the rumors ARE TRUE! The XMAS party this year, will be held at the WAIKIKI GS STUDIO on Dec. 2nd. The festivities start at 6pm, and will go until 10pm. We are currently working on the menu, and are looking at around $15 a head for members, and $20 for non-members. We will have the usual games, Pictionary, and Last Man Standing. However, we will be starting an ALL NEW GAME! So, WHO WANTS TO BE THE NEXT ANIME IDOL? We will have THREE special anime character guest to be the judges, and the first RUMORED judge will be INUYASHA. Also, remember at the end we will have the gift exchange. Any gift, around $5 in value, nothing perishable, or dated (i.e. FOOD, Calendars) as we still have the leftover gift from last year, so hope that someone followed the rules. More info will be posted as we get it.

Oct. 10th, 2006: HIFF movies...
Four shows to go to this year! First is Satoshi Kon's PAPRIKA, where science creates a machine to enter ones dreams. As usual, someone abuses that privledge. HIFF's Andersen Le tells me the director will be at the show so let's rock the house out by filling it full of anime fans! The other, is the sequel to the Robotech series, "ROBOTECH: The Shadow Chronicles". The other two, are live action shows. "Sukeban Deka", is a live action version of the anime of the same name. This should be another great one to see. The one I was most grateful of, was the movie on the REAL Yamato. "Otoko Tachi no Yamato" is about the men and officers of the Battleship Yamato, starring Sorimachi Takeshi of GTO fame. Anyone wanting to go, let us know so we can pick up the members discount ticket for you.
Sept. 24th, 2006: Parting words from VP Eric Kihara...
"I hope everyone has a great year, and please continue to support the club. I hope to join you all when OAE makes it's trip to Japan, so save up so you can savor the culture of Japan."
Sept 21st, 2006: Tomorrow is the meeting and Karaoke!
Remember, this is a SHORT meeting, then we go to Karaoke!

Sept 15th, 2006: Eric is bringing his collection...
...to the meeting on the 23rd. It will be a free for all, take what you can carry away and what ever is left will go to trash, valuable or not. We will have the "Mari waits one minute to give everyone else a chance to get something good" rule applied here. LOL...
Sept. 11th, 2006: Eric Kihara Moving Sale...
...and take away before it goes to H-Power! That's right folks, If you are interested in purchasing some bookshelves, desk, and furniture, email us here with your phone number and we'll have Eric give you a call. Also, there are a lot of gaming books that if you are interested in he'll give you them for free to a happy home instead of generating a watt of electricity at H-Power. He also has a bunch of wall scrolls and misc comics so hurry. He will be eliminating most of this by this upcoming weekend, so hurry and let him know.

Sept. 1st, 2006: Halloween in Waikiki...
Yes, it may be two months away but Halloween will sneak up on us quickly again. Currently, we are looking to stay at the Sheraton Waikiki, but that may change if they are on strike. Those who wish to stay, can sleep over at the hotel and go to work the next morning. We are looking at going to dinner at 6pm, then walking around Waikiki until 10pm. From there, we will head on over via the Waikiki Trolley to Restraunt Row. After that, we will go to Waikiki GS Studios for some late night Karaoke. At the next meeting, let us know who will be attending, and staying over in the hotel room...

July 30th, 2006: Thanks to everyone who came!
We saw our regulars, and a few new faces as well. After watching some anime, dinner at Yoshiya's, more anime then KARAOKE at GS Studios we went back and did an AKAGI Marathon until 7am! Well, the ones who lasted the course were Marvin Nakajima and Lia Rodrigues. All of the rest who stayed the night were fast asleep by then! Also, Lia once again got the correct answer in the quiz game, although she only got parts of it right. Anyways, it was a fun birthday party for the OAE and we hope to do this again next year! Thanks again to "BloodtypeX" for the cool COSPLAY magazine! I'll be sure to return it to you as soon as possible!

July 20th, 2006: We will be starting the shows at 4pm!
That gives us a lot of time for EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES like Karaoke, and GOOD food! Also, after we get done with our scheduled play list, we'll be showing a WHOLE lot more anime of all kinds! Maybe it should be a "last man/woman standing" game? We did that once before, a long time ago. Maybe it is time to do this again?
July 11th, 2006: HOTEL MEETING at the SHERATON!
Okay folks! We'll be at the Sheraton Waikiki on July 29th in the hotel suites. We are looking at where to eat. One option is Yoshiya's, which is in the hotel but kind of pricey ($25 a head, then again, this is Waikiki). Those who want to stay over, please let us know as soon as possible. We will be showing our normal play list, starting from 6pm. We will be in the hotel from 3pm, and just call the Oahu Anime Explorer phone number 808-386-3766, and we'll give you the hotel room number.
July 2nd, 2006: We are ONE YEAR OLD!
In celebration, we will be having a Waikiki Hotel outing. Once we know the venue the times and other info will be posted. We are also planning a trip to Waikiki GS Studio for some Karaoke!

Lia correctly answered the first quiz game! In the show "Trivia Seed", they asked "How many Akihabara males would stop and save the girl, just like in Densha Otoko? They re created
