With members still in high school, this young group caught the attention of Go Aloha Entertainment who teamed them with the successful production team of Imua Garza and Brett Ortone (Rebel Souljahz, Opihi Pickers) who soon had them in the recording studio working on a project.
The result is This Is The Life, the band’s debut CD, to be released in September 2009. This Is The Life contains 11 all original songs composed by Kolohe Kai leader Roman De Peralta, influenced by Roman’s family, faith, love of surfing, and love of life.

When She Smiles

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Why you look so down?
Is it this town, making you frown?
Or this dramatic city?
If that's the case then let's just leave all this behind.
Cause I love the way you shine and you do deserve to shine.
So put away that frown.
Your smile is such a beauty.
You're happy, can't you see what you do to me.
You're such a sweetheart and I'm so glad that you're mine.
Cause I love the way you shine and you do deserve to shine.
I love it when my girl smiles, when my girl smiles (When she smiles) And she's smiling all the time.
Or the world stops on a dime, when she smiles.
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Looking in your eyes, I see so much potential.
What can I say, every day, you are something special.
Look in your heart, there is a treasure to be found.
Loyalty sold by the pound
And I'm so glad that I found you.
So put away that frown.
Your smile is such a beauty.
You're happy, can't you see what you do to me.
You're such a sweetheart and I'm so glad that you're mine.
Cause I love the way you shine and you do deserve to shine.
I love it when my girl smiles, when my girl smiles (When she smiles) And she's smiling all the time.
Or the world stops on a dime, when she smiles.
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I love it when my girl smiles I love it, I love it, I love it baby.
YEAH!
I love it when my girl smiles
I love it when my girl smiles, when my girl smiles (When she smiles) And she's smiling all the time.
Or the world stops on a dime, when she smiles.

The song 'When She Smiles' by Kolohe Kai is a heartwarming tribute to the impact a girl's smile can have on the person who loves her. The song begins with the singer asking why his girlfriend is looking so down and suggests that it might be caused by the pressures of city life. He tells her that they can leave all the dramas behind and reminds her that she is a beautiful person who deserves to shine. He urges her to put away her frown and see the impact her smile has on those around her. The chorus celebrates the power of her smile, with the playful melody conveying the joy it can bring.
The second verse continues in the same vein, with the singer recognizing the potential and special qualities that he sees in his girlfriend. He tells her that she has a treasure in her heart, that he values her loyalty, and he's glad that he found her. Together, they can find happiness and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. The song concludes with the chorus once more, reinforcing the message that the girl's smile is a gift that makes the whole world stop.

Kolohe Kai is my favorite ever since I first heard the songs popularized when I was in college. It's nostalgic. Brings back blissful memories with my college buddies. I could listen to all your songs day and night. It inspires me, makes me happy and makes me radiate love. YOU ARE POPULAR HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
