Another great turnout with 552 attendees, foreigners and Japanese, many in colorful yukata, jinbei and aloha shirts. One big highlight was the swimsuit-clad staff from “Beach Store” who made waves on their SUP (Stand Up Paddleboards). Special thanks to Hawaii Hula Studio Puanani & Hula Sisters for their soothing hula dance performances – a perfect match for the summer resort-like setting. And congratulations to Ms. Mina Nakamura, the winner of the lucky draw trip to Taiwan including round trip air fare on China Airlines and four nights’ accommodation (double occupancy) at luxurious Shangri-La Hotels – two nights in Taipei, and two nights in Tainan (Southern Taiwan) including daily breakfast for two! Cheers to DJ Hirakuri too for keeping the mood both hot and cool with his Acid Jazz mix, and respect to With The Style staff for their friendly bar and food service – very oishii food and drinks! Did you attend? Maybe your friends did? Check out these snapshots from the evening. Stay tuned for news on the next Fukuoka Now party happening Nov. 8 – always a little special and always a lot of fun!
