Description of Hula Girls
Japan's #1 movie, "Hula Girls" has received rave reviews at numerous international film festivals. The soundtrack, scored by uke maestro, Jake Shimabukuro, is an instrumental masterpiece, recently earning a Japanese Academy Award for Best Sound Recording. Featuring eight new recordings by Shimabukuro and two songs by Hawaiian female vocal group Na Leo, Jake's tender ukelele voicing gives dramatic effect to emotional film scenes such as the separation of two best friends, the death of a father, and the triumph of overcoming all odds.The ukulele isn't supposed to sound like this. Jake Shimabukuro has been defying uke expectations for years now, playing everything from heavy metal to pastoral reveries. The strictures of film composing afford him little opportunity to stretch out, although the opening track certainly promises that, with a breezy jazz-fusion romp that recalls Béla Fleck without the bluegrass aroma. Hula Girls is a film about a Japanese mining town in the mid '60s in which some girls decide to take up hula dancing. Other than the opening "On the Road," Shimabukuro sticks mostly to variations on wistful and romantic, with occasional lapses into the sentimental, but always succeeds in taking the ukulele beyond exotic novelty, especially when it sounds like an electric guitar. "Hula Girl" as sung by Jennifer Perri is forgettable middle-of-the-road pop, but an instrumental take by Shimabukuro taps the plaintive side of the song. He also reveals a gift for arrangement with a cute guitar-and-ukulele duet on "Heartbeat" that also appears in a poignant minimalist version for solo piano. Hula Girls doesn't quite hold up as an album, especially with some buoyant '50s-style Hawaiian pop songs sung by the vocal trio Na Leo Pilimehana, including "Hawaiian Eyes" and "Local Boys." Hula Girls is a strong soundtrack, but just a pleasant album. --John Diliberto
