Wow. Well, do you have her number? I wish she’d contact me. I confess, it would put such a smile on my daughter’s face… But more than anything I’d love to show her what we’re trying to do by bringing Japanese over there.

Angela has been involved with charities in Cambodia for years! She also sends all the tee shirts that are not sold at her concerts to a children’s charity in Cambodia.

Thanks for this comment. It’s interesting to understand more of the story behind the people we “meet through TV.”

I wish Angela would join one of our trips to Cambodia and help us tell people about the needs there…

Wow, that is really good.
Love the expression on her face, really conveys a sense of her character, which is impressive, especially considering the age of the artist!
Looks like you’ve got a pretty talented daughter there.

I was working for Angela Aki’s parents who just opened their English School in Hiroshima many many years ago. She was showing me her two daughters’ picutrues left back in Tokushima with their grandparents.
Angela’s mother also had wonderful voice, remembering Angela’s mother teaching children’s songs to the Japanese English teachers. I was surprised to find out that she moved to Hawaii with her children. After quiting the job I also moved to America and eventually moved to Hawaii aobut 20 years ago. While Angela attending the Iolani school in Hawaii, I often visited the school for my son’s sport events. I never imagined that Aki san’s daughters were attending the school in Hawaii. Anyway, three years ago I watched the NHK red and white singing contest in Hawaii ,and when Angela was introduced as a half white who raised in Tokushima, I knew that she is Aki san’s girl. also, I am happy to find out that their English School became one of the major English School , イオン today.
Marie Digby is also a successful half Japanese singer now.
You can see her in Youtube.com
I have three hapa( Hawaii word, Mixed kids) sons. Mixed kids rule the world soon.

what a talented, talented girl! She’ll do very well in the future. Is Reia 8, by the way? She has a very good sense of proportion. It really looks like Angela too!
