OBAKE:
The theme of the track is Halloween and all that it entails in the islands of Hawaii. In the most recent modern culture of Hawaii, obake mostly means ghosts, monsters, or possibly anything of the spirit world. Most, if not all, of us who grew up in Hawaii can remember hearing ghost stories dating back to our childhood times that included “obake”; this track aimed to capture just a small essence of those childhood memories.

Excerpt from Wikipedia Entry “Obake”:

In Hawaii
Due to the influence of a sizable Japanese immigrant population on the islands of Hawaii, the term obake has found its way into the pidgin vocabulary of the local people. Some Japanese stories concerning these creatures have found their way into local culture in Hawaii: numerous sightings of kappa have been reported on the islands, and the Japanese faceless ghosts called noppera-bō have also become well known in Hawaii under the name mujina. This name confusion seems to have stemmed from a story by Lafcadio Hearn titled "Mujina", a story about a badger (mujina) which takes the form of a noppera-bō, rather than being one itself, which first introduced the faceless ghost to the Western world.

Hawaiian folklorist Glen Grant was known for his Obake Files, a series of reports he developed about supernatural incidents in Hawaii. The grand bulk of these incidents and reports were of Japanese origin or concerned obake.
