For everyone who has been desperately trying to figure out what the song is, I have good and bad news! The band that made the song for this video is called FIDLAR, but as far as I've found, the song was never released and was made just for the commercial :( If anyone can find it, please let us all know! The first step is done :)
@TheFalloutHero I chose UH specifically to be able to break out away from home. There was a period of Culture Shock. I come from Los Angeles and Hawaii is very Asian-influenced in food and customs. For me, didn't take but a couple of weeks for it to feel like home. I had only my bus pass and my bicycle so I never got the Island Fever that mainlanders sometimes get. Living a 20 minute bike ride from Waikiki beach was Heaven: Studying at the beach=Everyone back home hated me lol.
Awesome video/commercial. I have been googling like crazy today to learn who wrote/performed the song. It's like top secret. Cannot find out any information about this song. Would love to pay for a download off itunes.
@brysonisSXE well I'm from Oahu and I've lived here all my life and I attend UH Manoa. Not all kids smoke weed, and drink, and "cruise chicks all day. There are plenty of students who take their education seriously. Don't base your opinion on the students who attend the school as a whole based on the kids you know. That's just ignorant.
I don't ever recall being allowed to have that much fun in the dorms nevertheless in the pool either. Compare and decide people! Maybe Mufi should have won, what was I thinking?
As a professional student at UH, this video makes our school look like all we do is have fun and get into trouble. I liked the previous commercial that displayed respectable research within the various departments. I hope the university understands what type of students they will be attracting with this video.
Probably they're just worried about attracting students in general. Luckily, people understand that UH is a serious school, but also one that makes space for fun and decompressing.
@brysonisSXE wasn't a problem for me the 4 years I lived in the Hale Aloha, Gateway and the apartments. I never was into that stuff. Occasionally wasn't the ideal place to study b/c of those things you mentioned but UH has great libraries. Finals study period is mandatory quiet in the dorms. My fave to study the rest of the time was the Law Library even though that wasn't my program.
I love this video. There are other Hawaii videos that also target education, field of studies, facilities and innovation. This video's title is "lifestyle", therefore it only shows dorm life, clubs, friends and various sports and social functions, it doesn't demean Hawaii as a party school in any shape or form.
@brysonisSXE cause you are missing out if you only study japan while in hawaii and no you won't have a problem with drinking and parties this is just trying to showcase the laid back and fun enviorment uh has
BTW, I'm proud to be an alumna of the University of Hawai`i at Mānoa and know that this video is showcasing student artistic and extra curricular groups. It made me very happy and nostalgic to see Hawai`i Hall and Hale Aloha. If you look at the other videos in the UniversityOfHawaii feed, you'll see a balanced representation of my Alma Mater.
This video expresses the ability of UH alumni and students to create a creative and innovative commercial while showcasing the various talent that is found throughout the university. The commercial doesn't attempt to attract students by encouraging partying, rather show that there are opportunities to film, dance or be apart of creative projects such as this. The fact that UH is indeed an institution of higher learning is incredibly apparent in the production of this video.
There are so many non-locals at UHM including people from the mainland and international students..Generally Hawaii is open-minded to all kinds of people. As long as you are cool, they are cool.
@shygorilla8082 Yeah, I initially thought the same thing. But a high school Jr would love this. And why not? Looking back on my college experience, the friendships developed there were far more important to my career than the "prestige" of my degree. Seriously. If I had to do it again, I'd spend more time having fun in college. Nothing irresponsible. Study abroad for a semester. Check out more local attractions.
@Bustanutt808 Well I said that ASU's academics don't compare to UCLA's, and you told me to cite sources, as if to prove to you that UCLA is indeed a serious college.
I thought UH was first and foremost an institution of higher education. I don't remember the dorms having people dancing and cheerleaders at the lawn of Hawaii Hall.
isn't LA full of asian people, and ktown is in LA right? how much of a culture shock could it be.... I mean I know Hawaii is like almost all asians japanese, koreans, chinese, vietnamese you name it but there are a lot of asians in LA too, except in LA you don't have to really feel the asian influence if you don't want to, but in Hawaii the entire island is like ..you must learn the ways lol I love hawaii
@Bustanutt808 FSU and ASU academics are a joke compared to UCLA's. A party school is a school where you barely have to do any work and you can just scrape by with the bare minimum, and therefore spend your whole time partying. UCLA has a party atmosphere but you won't be staying there for very long if that's all you do.
Don't listen to smashinpineapple. Stuff like this doesn't happen that often. There are some idiots and creeps that will cause trouble like that, but there are idiots and creeps everywhere you go. If you're street smart and don't wander around alone late at night, you should be fine. Campus Security at UH Manoa has a shuttle service specifically for picking you up late at night and dropping you off at your destination if you need an escort.
@Bustanutt808 Are you serious right now? You actually don't consider UCLA a serious college? How about the fact that UCLA is consistently ranked in the top 25 universities in the country, alongside Cal Berkeley and USC. Do those ring a bell? I'm not gonna even bother with the statistics. Anybody who's ever even heard of college knows the difference between a school like ASU and UCLA. Google.
Turn me on uh (rainbow dancers) and ps there is a lot of local people in this video I'm local and I can tell who is local and who not and I can't wait to go when I graduate
"Merely???" They weren't murdered OR raped. They could have been, had the situation escalated. Stop spreading rumors about UH Manoa if you don't know how to use your vocabulary. Thank you
Yeah, I figured you were an alum of UH, your UH English skills are showing (or rather lack of English skills). And you don't sound so proud by the way you bash your alma mater, you might want to watch what you say about UH next time you decide to crow about how you grad from there. Doesn't make you look like such an exceptional person when you hail from a school you make sound like a penitentiary.
i can not watch this vid enough. seriously. its awsome. college of my dreams!

Do you have a source for this?
That moment a year later when you still cannot find this song.
LOVE this video!! my dream school
Saw this last night at the Hawai'i Wahine Warriors Volleyball Game!!! Stoked this is my school!!! GO WARRIORS!!
VERY COOL. I'm very impressed with UH's film capabilities. This is an awesome school.
@threestripesexplorer They had it written just for this commercial. I don't think it's available anywhere.
I heard this was all ACM and and alum.. Nice job! Saw this at the football game!
I go here! Very nice, fun video!

Wow i did google it, thats crazy! Does stuff like this happen often, and is the campus safe?
@brysonisSXE cause you are missing out if you only study japan while in hawaii and no you won't have a problem with drinking and parties this is just trying to showcase the laid back and fun enviorment uh has
if you're in the pacific and pursuing nursing, UHM is the "nursing capital of the Pacific", that's a fact
i like the song, what is it?
Thank U fidlar
what is this song called its soo awesome
Why are there bicycles in the bottom of the swimming pool @0:43 ?! Rust happens, y'all
@muylani what was it like being on an island away from your friends and family? was it worth it?
dope song
guys if you love this song just transfer the video into MP3 format.. you will be able to add the audio to your iTunes and listen to it.
is it hard to get into this school with good test scores, even if you are from the mainland? seems interesting
Breezy im also from Florida ( Brandon in Tampa Bay area) and I am considering applying for UH when I graduate from HS in 2015
did you go there?
To all those who think UH:M is like this... it isn't.
summer watt while classes, it's probably like a normal university; but when HW is done, i bet going outside is way better than in other cities.
like what specifics man, cause i want to go to manoa too
does any one know if there is a blog of the alumni of this university? :/
Would love to fly all the way to the islands to play for them :D
Can someone tell me the name of the song!?
this video legit makes me feel like im at home... i wanna go there for school so bad
Do they have a Kinesiology program? is it good?
BTW, I'm proud to be an alumna of the University of Hawai`i at Mānoa and know that this video is showcasing student artistic and extra curricular groups.

Yeah I'm used to stuff like this I live in NY so it's not too uncommon, but yeah I guess just be aware of you surroundings and you'll be good haha
I'm crazy about this song! Is there any way to get a hold of it ?
Did ACM help with the filming? :D
The University of Hawaii is now a party school?
What is this song? omg
UHM looks like a great college! Lots of cute girls.
i wanna go here sooo bad.

@Bustanutt808 I did not graduate from UCLA.

O`oe is gorgeous - and Emily (the "singing mermaid"), too!

@Bustanutt808 What I know is that ASU and FSU barely even qualify as colleges compared to UCLA.
What's this song?
Aud Scroggs unpublished song by Fidlar
I thought UH was first and foremost an institution of higher education. I don't remember the dorms having people dancing and cheerleaders at the lawn of Hawaii Hall.
what is the name of the song omg
Pallas Hayes it’s an unpublished song by fidlar
I am an RA at Frear and I was trained to prevent students from having fun like what was displayed on this video.
isn't LA full of asian people, and ktown is in LA right? how much of a culture shock could it be.... I mean I know Hawaii is like almost all asians japanese, koreans, chinese, vietnamese you name it but there are a lot of asians in LA too, except in LA you don't have to really feel the asian influence if you don't want to, but in Hawaii the entire island is like ..you must learn the ways lol I love hawaii
@brysonisSXE you are forgetting the main culture hawaiian! you should also try to find out more about the local language and culture
@mwjvbIues6 i was just wondering im thinking about applying
maybe hes from california or south florida?
Who is the main girl? She is pretty.

...am I going to the wrong UHM?
This college is too fucking sick can't wait to go there after high school in Pittsburgh.
@lesjchristianson just did a sound hound look up for this song.....cant find NOTHING.great song huh?

Welcome to my island

I see Tam Rapp from ABDC 8Flavahz
@jteruel671 No one should have fun if they're being serious about getting a degree.
aah i see, thank you
How can you be merely raped/ murdered? and whats so bad about this university? Just curious, i really wanna go here for school. Thanks :D
@Bustanutt808 Are you serious right now? You actually don't consider UCLA a serious college?

What's up with your negative comments? At least there aren't mass shootings on college campuses on the Mainland....
Turn me on uh (rainbow dancers) and ps there is a lot of local people in this video I'm local and I can tell who is local and who not and I can't wait to go when I graduate
Try googling "University of Hawaii student assaulted in elevator" and "University of Hawaii student knife incident"
"Merely???" They weren't murdered OR raped. They could have been, had the situation escalated. Stop spreading rumors about UH Manoa if you don't know how to use your vocabulary. Thank you
@mwjvbIues6 bull i go there its amazing
lol, no answers, just likes
BOOYUCKA BOOYUCKA
PEACE
looks like all we do is party.....
Yawn! I'm a proud UH graduate and I can say what I want.
Yeah, I figured you were an alum of UH, your UH English skills are showing (or rather lack of English skills).

I love all the butthurt here; no one knows self-righteous indignation like the so-called 'intellegentsia'.
UH Manoa is NOT that fun.
Your standards are too high
