The Tenrikyo Hawaii Convention 2011 Youtube video (in Japanese) was just published by Doyusha (the Tenrikyo publication company) on November 29th, a few days ago. This video features a brief overview of the Convention and its history and featured contributors to the event: Rev. Melvin Iwata, Kelly Turner, Kyle Kikuchi, and Kyle Kawasaki.

Prior to the 2011 Convention in Hawaii, there was a Young Men’s Association Convention in 1974, 37 years ago at which had 1,200 participants. Rev. Iwata, an adviser for the Convention committee and a participant in the 1974 event, had explained that the 2011 Convention was the first time this kind of even was done completely in English and that the preparation and planning were put heavily on the shoulders on the people of Hawaii and collaborated with staff in US Mainland and Japan.
