If you scroll down on Amazon.co.jp, beneath the Yobidashi book is another children's book about sumo. It was just released and has a 5-star rating. https://www.amazon.co.jp/オゼキイサム/dp/4052056930/ref=pd_rhf_d_dp_s_pd_crcd_sccl_1_2/357-8597776-7498208?pd_rd_w=3SYrw&content-id=amzn1.sym.f6807b6a-a51f-484d-a903-9221ae683054&pf_rd_p=f6807b6a-a51f-484d-a903-9221ae683054&pf_rd_r=S8D79RSR4Q8R8KYDN205&pd_rd_wg=k05cI&pd_rd_r=6c5add0d-eb49-4e6c-8e14-ea67828a69ca&pd_rd_i=4052056930&psc=1

SEE MY NOTE BELOW ---------------- (POSTED BY SUMOJOANN, NOT ADIL). Super Administrators 300 1,384 posts Gender: Not Telling Location: The shop Report post ATTENTION --- THE POST BELOW IS FROM NOVEMBER 20, 2020, THE LAST TIME I RECALL A SERIOUS OUTAGE. DOES ANYONE THINK IT COULD BE A SIMILAR PROBLEM?? SO FAR, WE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A COMPLETE OUTAGE, JUST A SERIOUS SLOWDOWN. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Posted November 12, 2020 Due to circumstances at least partially beyond our control, Sumo Forum experienced an uncharacteristically long outage. The root cause of the issue was a database server update that turned out to be incompatible with the PHP version running our forum software. The issue was discovered by forum administration during the early hours (local time) of Tuesday the 10th. It was diagnosed and reported along with the probable cause and a suggested fix to our ISP by noon. The ISP, however, refused to investigate the issue because it was not reported by "a registered contact person of the customer". It wasn't until late Wednesday that I was able to reach @Kaikitsune Makoto to confirm the service request was indeed coming from a legitimate source. Our diagnosis of the core issue seems to have been correct and the fix has now been implemented, correcting the issue. Our regular service has resumed, the management wishes to apologize for any inconvenience caused. TL;DR: Forum was down between Tuesday and Thursday, apologies." ______________________________________________________________________________________________ PLEASE NOTE ----- THE POST ABOVE WAS REGARDING AN OUTAGE IN NOVEMBER, 2020. HAS ANYONE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ADIL REGARDING THIS SLOWDOWN? AS NOTED, THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE.

I have 2 Notifications but when I clicked on "Notifications", the system wouldn't respond and I couldn't read them. Yesterday it was slow but at least it would eventually respond.

Can you imagine how exciting it would be if all 3 of them were to be promoted to Ozeki after the Nagoya basho? I doubt if this will happen because the committee that decides would all have to be in agreement that they are all equally deserving. Their overall results histories and experience are all quite different. However, as we know, each had excellent results during the last 2 basho (Daieisho during the last 3 basho). I think it's all going to come down to not only if they meet the so-called "minimum" number of necessary wins, but as we've seen in the past, how much weight they committee puts on past results, specifically consistency. In addition, the NSK wants to make sure they don't end up with "career Ozeki." Much of this has already been discussed, I know. Barring injury and assuming they all achieve the so-called "minimum" number of necessary wins, I think Wakamotoharu has the best chance of being promoted. It's hard to believe that he debuted in Makuuchi in Jan 2022. He has noticeably improved in each basho, has come out from under the shadow of his brother, has had only one MK since his Makuuchi debut, has otherwise achieved minimum scores of 9-6 (no 8-7's), several 10-5's and one 11-4. He also exhibits a calm, confident manner and seems mature. I admire his consistency and if he does well in Nagoya, I believe the committee will agree that he deserves to be promoted. Hoshoryu has a lot of potential but has achieved double digits only 4 times in the past 2 and 1/2 years. On a positive note, his last MK was way back in Nov 2020, but he's had a lot of 8-7's since then. He seems more mature, and though exciting to watch, I think the promotion committee will wait for another basho to see if he can maintain consistent results. Daieisho is difficult for me to venture an opinion on. A veteran (debuted in Makuuchi in Sept 2015), with one Yusho, one Jun-Yusho, 2 kinboshi and numerous Special Prizes, plus good results the past 3 basho, he would seem the ideal candidate to be promoted. However, one can't overlook the MK's and the barely KK's. Maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on consistency, but as I mentioned in my first paragraph, I think the committee that makes the promotion decisions want rikishi that can ultimately go beyond being "professional Ozeki." I'm not so sure that Daieisho meets this criteria. I wish them all the best of luck. Nagoya is going to be a treat for all of us.

It's so unique and very creative --- definitely one of a kind! It looks like it's a pretty good size, too. When I watch the live TV broadcast, I will be scanning the crowd looking for it when Kirishima's bout is announced. Nearby spectators will undoubtedly be admiring it, also.

Hokuseiho's parents certainly knew what they were doing when they fed him yak milk as a baby!

I do but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to go to this festival. Prior commitments + mobility issues. It sounds like it's going to be fun!

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Jakusotsu! @Ganzohnesushi what is the significance of the big sperm in your post? (I have forgotten the majority of German I learned in high school back in the 1960s)!

Count me in! I'm just happy that I didn't end up in Juryo! My rikishi and I didn't do so well this time. Am hoping for a better performance at Nagoya.

Kirishima (formerly Kiribayama) wanted to be an Ozeki for Kakuryu's danpatsushiki. I'm so happy he got his wish.

So amazing how quickly a rikishi's fortunes can change. It seems like it was only yesterday that he was 11-4 as a Maegashira 12. But that was at the Jan 2022 basho and it's been all downhill since then. He first caught my eye in Sept 2014 when I attended the Aki basho. At that time he was in Makushita. He was exceptionally fast and utilized a great variety of kimarite. I just knew he was destined for great things. A more knowledgeable friend than me scoffed and assured me that Ishiura would never amount to anything because he was "too little." I was convinced that he belonged in Makuuchi and I was right. At his first basho in Makuuchi in Nov 2016, he made a big splash, winning 10 bouts in a row and receiving a special prize for Fighting Spirit. When I was invited to Miyagino-beya by a friend, I was introduced to Ishiura. He seemed stunned that I knew his name. He never said a word, just stared at me! He was so little that we just faced each other, eye to eye. Unfortunately, my taxi arrived before I had a chance to attempt to carry on an actual conversation with him. But from then on, I cheered for him every time he mounted the dohyo. His intai was a long time coming. I will never forget him.

Yes, even when talking to reporters!

These are great pictures! I especially enjoyed seeing a completely differently side of Terunofuji. His love for his family is heartwarming.

Happy Birthday, Kinta! Hope you can catch up to me (I'm 74) and go well beyond! Don't cough too much. God might think you're sick and call you home!

This is getting off-topic but for some reason, when I heard that Tochinoshin was retiring, I thought about Baruto, so I checked wikipedia. Wikipedia indicated that he is currently an MP of the Estonian Riigikogu (Parliament), but that information is out of date. (Edited to make correction). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Political career On September 7, 2018, Höövelson announced that he had joined the Estonian Center Party and had applied for the 2019 Estonian parliamentary election.[31] He ran for election in Harju and Rapla counties, and received 642 votes. Höövelson was elected to the Riigikogu after candidate Vladimir Arhipov declined his seat. One of his goals as an MP is to promote economic relations between Estonia and Japan.

You may be right but we shall see..... And for @Jakusotsu, I disagree that Aoiyama looks fine. Here is Midorifuji defeating Aoiyama just 2 months ago. Note the large brace on his left knee. He has worn that brace for a long time.

Aoiyama has had a large brace on one of his knees for quite some time. I don't remember the last time I've seen him on the dohyo without it. As heavy as he is, I would be surprised if he is ever able to remove that brace while fighting.

Aoiyama is not on your list of potential retirees but I think he's next for the following reasons --- 1) Tochinoshin's intai, I can't help but believe, will have an impact on Aoiyama's decision. They're in the same heya (Kasugano) and are (were) the top two rikishi at their heya as far as rank. 2) Aoiyama won his bouts only on Days 1 and 2 but lost the last SIX bouts in a row. Tochinoshin lost all 5 of his bouts. He (Tochinoshin) couldn't help but be upset at the very least and devastated at most by his poor results. Undoubtedly, Aoiyama had to have been upset by his own results, too. 3) Aoiyama will be 37 in less than a month and is older than Tochinoshin, who will be 36 in Oct. 4) They both have serious ongoing injuries. 5) I don't know how friendly their relationship is, but the closer they were, the more likely Aoiyama would be apt to follow in Tochinoshin's footsteps because he would no longer have that support to keep going. Even if they aren't that close, Tochinoshin's intai can't help but leave a void since they are/were in the same heya. I think it might be hard on Aoiyama psychologically, although I realize this is mere speculation. The sad thing is that there are so many rikishi to choose from as far as guessing who will retire next.

I sure would like confirmation, too. When I Googled Tochinoshin, it showed there was a tweet on twitter that was quoting the original "Agenda" article, but when I clicked on it, the tweet no longer existed. https://twitter.com/AgendaGeorgia/status/1659187170685636608

It didn't seem that long ago that he could defeat his opponent by tsuridashi........

(Please note --- The cursor jumps ahead. Please set it back to the beginning). This is a wonderful 20-minute documentary. The tears just flow every time I watch it. I think you will learn a lot about trying to find someone in Japan, even though the circumstances are different. I don't want to give the story away or tell you what worked or didn't work, but I highly recommend that you watch this video. I think it will give you some useful ideas. I wish you good luck and success in your quest to find your girlfriend from the past. Please be persistent and don't give up!

I'm afraid I'm not going to be of much help but your story has touched me, so I'd like to offer what little tips and suggestions I can think of. I was heavily involved in tracking down family members while working with a group of amateur genealogists back in 2010. My friends all say I should have been a private investigator. lol All that being said, I never had to do any investigations involving another language. So the first big question is, "How well do you speak, read and write Japanese?" Unless you are fluent or nearly fluent, your best bet would be to hire someone, preferably in Osaka, who is fluent or nearly fluent, to help you. However, I seem to recall that YOU are fluent in Japanese (from reading the thread a while back about which languages SF members spoke). If my memory is correct, then I definitely think you should take a trip to Osaka to find her (fingers crossed that she's still living in Osaka). I feel very strongly that you either need a doggedly persistent ally in Osaka OR you need to do it yourself. I've watched too many needle-in-a-haystack Youtube videos about people searching for loved ones or ex-loved ones or just family in war torn countries or non-war torn countries, and they were successful! Getting the news media interested has helped in some cases. But in every case, they had help and/or they did it themselves (usually both with a little luck thrown in). The first thing I did was Google --- "How to track down a person in Osaka, Japan." And then I Googled --- "How to find someone in Japan." https://www.japanpi.com/blog/missing-persons/how-to-find-someone-in-japan/ Several interesting articles came up. The link above is one of them. A good read. The other articles that popped up are also worth reading. There is a very moving documentary I want to post. I'll do that shortly.
