The Academia Nuts (an all student band)  and Kumukula Islanders (university professors, who are nuts about playing Hawaiian music) are Hawaiian bands in Osaka, Japan.  They perform at festivals and reunions. 

They love the rich cultural background of Hawaiian music and its creators.

- Maui Music: "The Players' Player" & CD: `Ukumehame

"Soft-spoken guitarist/vocalist Sam Ahia grew from his roots in post-World War II Hawaii into a modern-day master of his instrument, bringing with him a style which defies categorization, harkens back to simpler times, and sets him apart from other musicians on the contemporary Hawaiian scene, in a category all his own. His voice is sweet as a tenor songbird’s on the breeze, and his instrumental stylings are intelligent, educated, passionate and deceptively mature in their simplicity and gracefulness, which all points to the reality that this artist is yet another one of Hawaii’s under-appreciated treasures." ~"Stevie Guitar" Sparks
