it would be cool if Alec Baldwin get there ahead of Trump and present the yusho trophy on his behalf. https://youtu.be/8vQlhWBvAwY

I cannot recall a head of state, perhaps some CEO presenting a new trophy/prize. I do fondly recall Paul McCartney and his wife sitting on masu-seki at the Fukuoka basho in the 90s.

cool. I went to sumo.or.jp but I didn't look carefully. mahalo

When is it released? April 30th, right?

Does anyone know if the BenchSumo game has closed? The Basho Entry Form button is grayed, so it seems like it is. I was just hoping it has a bug too, so I might still enter.

i totally misread. it was the first thing i read that morning, and i was still not really awake. it is all good from where i am sitting. i appreciate everyone's effort to make this Bench World Cup happen.

Yes. I read it before my coffee this morning

Is this round 2 or round 3? If so, I’m not droning for either. Please see our two PM thread on June 15. MAEDEN

and i didn't learn my lesson, Scandal is here in September, going GA again. one advantage, cause i will go solo, it is much easy to socialize in GA.

it was a pretty good show. general admission you didn't see so much of the girls, but the band has a killer sound!

after watching John's interview with Akebono, one question came to mind. what is the largest heya, in the number of rikishi. Akebono shares that in the old days a stable could have a 100 rikishi and there were fewer stables....

i will be in the Big Mikan, aka Tokyo, this summer. anyone wanna have chankonabe near Ryogoku on say June 14th?

i have a friend in Glasgow, she's a sumo fan, big time.

wow, old school! reminds that i enjoy J Soul Brothers. they were in a soundtrack of a movie awhile back, that's how i was introduced
