Honolulu ukulele player to release Ehime Maru song

HONOLULU, United States - Jake Shimabukuro strums a ukulele on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. He has written a song titled ''Ehimemaru,'' dedicated to the victims of the sinking of the Japanese training ship Ehime Maru near Hawaii last month, and plans to release it. Sales from the song are to be donated to a fund recently set up by Hawaii-based groups. Shimabukuro, a fourth-generation Japanese-American, said he wanted to do something to help relatives of the nine people missing, presumed dead, in the Feb. 9 collision.
