I grew up in #Hawaii in the 80s and early 90s, and #Akebono was a *big* deal for locals.

A lot of folks know Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" but I wish more folks knew his stuff like "Tengoku Kara Kaminari" (Thunder from Heaven), which tells the story of local boys who go on to do #Sumo in the big leagues. In the style of the greatest classical epics:

"They have traveled, thousand miles away
Sometimes lonely, far away from family
All have conquered, a dream that seemed impossible
With dignity, they are Hawai'i sumotori"

Here's that tune: https://youtu.be/MGD4EQMgbYE
