Kakaako
Kakaʻako is the name of a commercial and retail district of Honolulu, Hawaiʻi between Ala Moana near Waikīkī to the east and downtown Honolulu and Honolulu Harbor to the west. Kakaʻako is situated along the southern shores of the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii.
History
Kakaʻako was once a thriving Native Hawaiian community with agricultural terraces where Hawaiian royalty once lived. Kamehameha I had a residence with his family and personal kahuna and chief adviser Hewahewa. Hawaiians used the region for fishpond farming, salt making, wetland agriculture and human burials, according to Cultural Surveys Hawaii, which did several reports on the area.
Through recent development projects many locations have unearthed ancient Hawaiian burials (iwi) thought to be scattered throughout the district. One area in particular, the Honuakaha Smallpox Cemetery, has more than a thousand Iwi.
In 1976, Kakaako was an industrial district under city control. It got caught in a political feud between then-Mayor Frank Fasi and then-Gov. George Ariyoshi. Hawaii lawmakers founded Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) in April 1976 as a way to prevent Fasi from using Kakaako as political leverage against Ariyoshi. The agency produced editorial opposition from local papers.

All That I Want
by: C21ALL THAT I WANT / C21
I just need you to know
That everytime you walk into a room I get a feeling
And I try to make it show
But every now and then it seems as though you don't believe it
Girl just dance
I like the way you move it
Just shake, shake, shake into the music
C'mon and dance
Don't worry about it
Don't need to play no games 'cause I love you just the same
(You turn) me on and on turn me on
The definition of all that I want
But you don't seem to hear me at all
I'm telling you
Baby you're all that I want
All that I want
All that I know
is your the only one that makes me feel the way you do girl
And time will show
That all this jealousy is just a waste of emotion
Girl just dance
I like the way you move it
Just shake, shake, shake into the music
C'mon and dance
Don't worry about it
Don't need to play no games 'cause I love you just the same
(You turn) me on and on turn me on
The definition of all that I want
But you don't seem to hear me at all
I'm telling you
Baby you're all that I want
All that I want
Just hear me now
I want you to know
I'm into you
And you alone
Just hear me now
I want you to know
I'm into you
And you alone
Girl just dance
I like the way you move it
Just shake, shake, shake into the music
C'mon and dance
Don't worry about it
Don't need to play no games 'cause I love you just the same
(You turn) me on and on turn me on
The definition of all that I want
But you don't seem to hear me at all
I'm telling you
Baby you're all that I want
(You) turn me on and on turn me on
The definition of all that I want
But you don't seem to hear me at all
I'm telling you
Baby you're all that I want
You're turning me on girl
C'mon and just dance girl
You're making me sweat girl
