Whether it was working in the booth, creating and sewing costumes, acting, directing, working backstage, filling the ice chest or cueing the actors, a tremendous amount of manpower was required to make "Kikaida Brothers: Live!" a success. The project began in early summer, and all those involved knew their duties, and pulled through 100% for the big day. Your devotion and loyalty to our very own brand name "Generation Kikaida" made all the difference. Itﾕs exhilarating to be among winners, and I hope you are sharing the same feeling.

We thank the Young Okinawans of Hawaii who brought us the proposal, and pulled through on the main day, assisting us with ushering, parking, and manning the children's activity booths. We also thank our many sponsors who supported us whole-heartedly, and helped us believe in Generation Kikaida.

To you, the actors our kudos to you; most of whom did not have formal training on stage. You came from Tokyo, Honolulu, Hilo and France, and it is very rare that everyone got along with each other, and no one complained or had doubts. It was a good feeling all around, and I hope that you will all cherish this experience for a long time to come.

Please keep in touch with us, and we certainly will call on you for our next big Generation Kikaida project.
