Ma o ko kākou mālama ʻana i nā mele Hawaiʻi, ma o ka hīmeni ʻana, ma o ka hoʻokani pila ʻana, ma o ke aʻo ana i nā mele i kekahi makamaka, ua ola hou nā mele. E kiʻi ʻia ka pila a e hoʻokani ʻia ʻo ia! ʻAʻohe āu pila? E kūʻai i kekahi pila! ʻAʻohe kālā? Mai kūʻai i ka Disney Plus a i ʻole ka Netflix no kekahi mau mahina, a laila ua hiki ke kūʻai ʻia ka pila. Inā ua loaʻa ka pila iāʻoe, e nānā mai.
