Aremistic released “Te Nati No Te Ora” (The Link of Life) as a single in 2025 with Iotua Pihaatae, who also co-wrote his earlier song “Protect the Fenua.” Nati, meaning to tie or bind, gives the song its central image of a bond linking people to one another. Sung in Tahitian, the song addresses the vini, a small lorikeet found in French Polynesia, whose spark and flight bring love, laughter, and connection between people. “Vini vini, your flying brings / The link, of the people, the link of life / Link of life, oh link of love / The dance of the moon, the wave has flown.”
