maybe LOHAS should be in the kanji section too? (though the 
katakana version is probably more common)

  Comments:
LOHAS is an abbr, but does that make ロハス one? It's not an abbreviation for some longer Japanese term.
WP Ja mentions ロハース as alternative spelling, but it gets almost no Googits outside of Wikipedia stuff. Ignoring it for now.
Sounds like awful marketing jargon if the Wikipedia article is anything to go by, but liking a word is not a prerequisite for adding it to the dictionary. Over 2 mil Googits too.
JB: Reformatted it a little to be more in our "style". LOHAS is an acronym; not
an abbreviation. ロハス is not an abbreviation. I'll add ロハース FWIW.
