Since my child got hooked on Kobito Zukan, I found myself liking it too
and have become addicted to collecting collectibles. Last weekend, I was able to get the GACHA-COCO limited present campaign at the Kisarazu Aeon store.
Even if there is information about new Gacha Gacha products, there is no information about which stores have them ？
Since this is a local forum, I would like to share such information ！.

I am seeking advice on how to get from Waikiki to the airport on the morning of the Honolulu Marathon on December 14.

I couldn't find any information on whether The Bus is operating or not on their website with my English skills.
（ Including information on the day, such as whether they are changing their route ）
Charlie Taxi said that they only accept phone calls on the day and cannot take reservations in advance, and that they also cannot dispatch cabs to the airport depending on road conditions.

Please let me know if you have any information on bus service or circuits in Waikiki.

I definitely do not recommend buses on Honomala day. They are never on time. And if you are going to the airport, you will have to be on time for your flight.
Taxi is definitely the way to go, HANA Taxi can be reserved in advance and will be there waiting for you on time.

Excuse me
if you know. How much are attorney's fees for a divorce ？ I was wondering what the market rate is.

We had a dispute while we were back in Japan and my husband went back to Hawaii first and closed our joint account ？ It disappeared from the internet.

We are not divorced and neither of us has a lawyer.
The money is not in my name because it was jointly owned.

I don't have it against Japan either. I heard that lawyers are there because there is no divorce by agreement.
Can anyone give me some advice?

If you don't have any particular property division or custody disputes, you can usually go to court and do the paperwork on your own.
It is a hassle to make copies and all that, but we did it all ourselves because we didn't want to pay legal fees.
There is a competent concierge at the courthouse, so we took the documents there first and asked him to check for any mistakes, etc. The whole thing only cost us a little over $200. I see a lot of bog-standard divorces, so as long as you talk it out on your own, it is possible to get a divorce without an expensive lawyer.

I have a question for all you bright people in Hawaii. I am currently working for a company and getting 401K matching, but for various reasons I have decided to retire for a while.
I have worked for the company for about 7 years and am now 55 years old.
I plan to start working for another 401K matching company
next year, but I have not been hired at this time
.
My question is, if I am not hired and end up working for a company that does not offer 401K
, will I be able to withdraw my 401K savings in this halfway state until I turn 60? ？ I also heard that 10% of the total amount will be deducted, but I don't understand the true meaning.
Please let me know what you know.

Hello.
You can ask the investment company that manages that 401K directly. Chat or call them.
You can leave it as is or roll it over to another. You should check with your own life insurance agent.
They can give you a lot of advice.

When you turn 59.5 years old, you can withdraw 10% with no fee.

You can rollover your 401K, though.

What you need to ask your investment manager is if you will be penalized ？

You should ask your insurance agent yourself.

I am an asset manager myself, and I think it is best to invest in a way that suits you

Hello, I have a child who is currently in preschool.
I have a child currently in preschool and am considering applying to Kamehameha Schools （ KS ） in the future. We understand that there are multiple timings to apply, so we are looking to apply from Kindergarten first.

We already have Hawaiian ancestry registry （ Hawaiian pedigree registry for Kamehameha ） but we are wondering if you actually have
• children attending
• who have taken KS in the past • If you have siblings who have enrolled at KS
or any other position, we would be very happy to hear your advice and experiences.

Any small details would be helpful, such as points to prepare for the application, things you wish you had done in preschool, the atmosphere of the interview, the actual atmosphere of the school after attending, etc.

Thank you very much ！

My son is attending. He is in Elementary now.
If you have a Hawaiian pedigree, you can usually get in ！ not that much （ like Punahou or Iolani ） the odds are not that high ！
the atmosphere in the school is pretty laid back. The atmosphere in the school is quite laid back, which is typical of Hawaiians. （ Laughs ） It is good for my son, but
academically, I don't think you should have high expectations. I grew up in Japan, and from my point of view, the academics are not good enough, and
the teachers at the conferences don't give many pointers. It is a very Hawaiian school with children of Hawaiian heritage ！.

My husband is a KS interviewer lol so I can't go into details

-The school is dedicated to keeping the Hawaiian culture alive

Even kids who can express their own opinions about what they want Hawaii to be like in the future will be noticed

-The interview The judgment has already started as soon as the
They can tell if a child is restless or not

-They want to accept as many different children as possible
I don't think you need to worry about it
A fixed number of students per region are selected

those who want to improve their skills will have dedicated
teachers who will help them to achieve their goals.

Thank you all for your valuable comments.

I feel a little lighter now that you mentioned that "the odds are not that high if you have a Hawaiian pedigree". Also, your realistic stories about the atmosphere of school life and academic aspects were very helpful. Since I have a family member who teaches Hawaiian Studies, I feel that my child is naturally developing an interest and attachment to Hawaiian culture himself. I really agreed with what you said in the interview about the importance of having one's own opinion such as "what do you want the future of Hawaii to be like?

I would like to gradually increase the opportunities to experience Hawaiian culture in my daily life and watch over my children so that they can develop their own perspectives and ideas. The discussion about regional quotas and balance is also interesting and I will keep it in mind as a perspective when applying.

I would be happy to learn more from you.
Thank you for your continued support ！

I can't go into details, but I have a family member who runs a cram school for the Kamehameha entrance exam. According to the latest information, tuition will be completely waived starting in 2026, and graduates will be able to pay for college tuition as well.
My impression is that it is not so easy to pass the entrance exam, even though it is not as easy as Punahou or Iolani.

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed story.
This is the first time I heard about the full free tuition from 2026 and the support to the university, and once again I realized that it will be even more competitive in the future.

As you said, it is a different difficulty from Punahou and Iolani, and it is not an easy entrance exam. With this in mind, I will discuss again with my family about our future preparation. Actually, we are also looking into cram schools little by little, but we have not been able to find many that have the Kamehameha Kindergarten entrance exam in front of them, so we are not sure how to proceed.
I saw some Kamehameha names in the photos of successful applicants at Takahashi Juku, so I thought I would inquire about it, and I am wondering if there are many similarities with Iolani ・ Punahou-oriented preparation.

If you have any more advice, I would be happy to hear it.
Thank you so much for your valuable talk.

Please do not hesitate to contact me.

I go back to Japan once a year
when I need my cell phone number for various documents
I was allowed to use my parent's number
however, I received a text message saying that my parent's number was registered in the same place and it turned out that your phone was used by another person.
I'm thinking of buying a cell phone in Japan
I rarely use it and it would be a waste, but it's the only thing I can think of
If you have a better idea, please let me know.
if you know which model and what kind of plan would be best for me to buy in Japan
to be honest, I am not familiar with the Japanese situation in this area.

Thank you very much. By the way, I would like to leave my cell phone in Japan not only when I go back to Japan temporarily, but I would like to use it all the time in Japan for receiving authentication codes and such like.

#2 Mr. Resident in USA,

If you have a Japanese ID, you can buy it even if you live in USA. I chose Rakuten Mobile, which has the lowest monthly call charges.

Can I use my passport as a Japanese ID? I don't have any family in Japan, so I don't have an address where I can register.

I lived in Japan, so I have a renewed driver's license with a Japanese address.
Please check with your cell phone store to see if your Japanese passport will work as a Japanese ID.
I told them honestly when I bought my cell phone that I do not reside in Japan, so I do not receive any mail.
Nowadays, paperless is more appreciated.

I know I can't work as an F1 student （ but is it ok for me to work in Hawaii while I am a student ） in Hawaii, for example, to communicate with Japanese companies and earn Japanese yen in my Japanese account, or to make my own products and sell them in stores in Hawaii or sell them personally ？? I was curious about this because I saw a social networking site of a student who is doing this kind of activity.

Basically, it is impossible, but it is possible that if the company he is doing business with is located in Japan and he receives remuneration in Japan, he does not have to file an April 15 tax return for $ less than 10,000 per year, but for $ more than 10,000, there may be problems later on. I think there will be a problem later on.

Don't report a person just because you see him or her, but report him or her to an immigration agent when you know for sure that he or she earns more than $ 10,000, otherwise, you may be suspected and you may also incur a grudge against him or her.
