Akinomaki

Arawashi has his danpatsu-shiki postponed. It was planned for May 31st - now the Natsu basho is on schedule then. New date is Feb. 23rd next year. Arawashi presently comes to the heya as a coach, his future plans are undecided. http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202004060000538.html

Daughter Airi has a sumo channel on YouTube for a bit over a month now and presents scenes from and around the heya - the oyakata also appears on (party) video https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrupY3yI2qzqSZ4tSQX9new/videos

The NSK posted the sumo kenko taiso from last year's summer vacation in front of the kokugikan - Kabutoyama-oyakata instructs - "Train at home" and be "Every day fit"

More than 5000 watched. All other heya want to follow this example and stream asageiko. Shibatayama told the media that this request has been made to the NSK. https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202004060000445.html

Postponed, he had announced it on the net - no new date yet o old program o

Postponed due to Corona - on the 30th the Natsu basho is planned now. Asahifuji turns 60 in July and hopes to have the kanreki-dohyo-iri in August. http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20200404/sum20040416590003-n1.html

Less spectators. Yes, I think so. Likely the plans I posted earlier: the article mentions e.g. to have some spectators spread around the kokugikan

Ticket ozumo sent the message that Natsu basho general sales will be stopped till an undetermined date - so not canceled altogether, sales unlikely to happen, but possible
