Please email us at info[at]karakui[dot]com if you want us to link to your blog or website.
Yes, there aren’t a whole lot of links up yet compared to the massive lists I’ve had in my previous blogs. This time around, I’m adding them as I write about the artist so all the links here should have an entry that’s tied into to it. Am I being lazy? Maybe.
Oh, and if you want to be added to my Links Page please feel free to email me at karakuipress[at]gmail[dot]com or leave a comment on this page (I can always edit it out afterwards).
Hi Richie, I thought you might be interested in checking out my Tracks that have a lot of Okinawa flavor mixed in with them. You can listen to them at http://www.travisjmorgan.com/blog/category/my-music/
I also have some Okinawa art. Shisa, Sanshin, kijimuna, ect… You can find it at http://www.travisjmorgan.com/blog/category/my-art/
Sorry for putting this in a post, but I couldn’t find an email address on your site.
Hi Travis!
I’ll be sure to check out your links and add you to my blogroll too.
Btw, you’ll find my email address on the second paragraph of the top comment post and in my “About” page too.
Hi Richie! I just want to say that I love what you are doing here! I’ve been searching for something like this for a while and now I have found it! >.< I just want to suggest an Okinawan artist who does Japanese Hip Hop! His name is 三浦大知 and he is the most amazing singer I have ever heard! Here is his website ^.^

Hi Serina! Thanks for the comment and the suggestion to add Daichi to the links page. I remember when he was with Folder and will gladly add him.
