"Mighty Uke is a feature documentary that travels the world to discover why so many people of different nations, cultures, ages and musical tastes are turning to the ukulele to express themselves, connect with the past, and with each other. From the Redwoods of California through the gritty streets of New York, from swinging London through Tokyos highrise canyons to Hawaii, ukers tell the story of the peoples instrument: The Mighty Uke."

You know you spend too much time on manga/anime/fanfic forums when the word "uke" in a blog post title evokes "seme" before "ukelele"...

Although Tokyo and London are in 'different' nations, New York, California, and Hawaii are not. Way to skew the results! ;)
