Just going through some playlists this past week and watching a clip that stood out of Akinoshu vs Tomonohana. The latter loses his chonmage letting it all loose and wild. Looked like a relentless Raijin the thunder god! Haru 2000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNvei5se0sQ&feature=youtu.be

And here is that segment: https://youtu.be/cqggmxeq0OA

Wow! I didn't think that I was THAT bad at this. It has now become a coming of age step towards joining this lowly party that I can only experience on the sumoforum! I am humbled

Asachan filming morning keiko when one of the toe injuries occurred on the morning of shonichi https://youtu.be/amxLX2L1vQ0?list=PLj_5xaD5AfJBDSCCMos_H6q1MWBker_JB&t=68 From last year, Hakuho's orthopedic surgeon explains what happened to the right big toe (With English captions CC) https://youtu.be/lCxAfCs4M0g

Keep in mind this is a man that kept a severed tendon and ligament (right toe) for years without knowing and thinking that it was just his body becoming stiff with time. It would cause frequent dislocations because of the severed tendon yet he would just continue sumo by taping the area. He was without any kind of visible physical difficulty that even he was aware of. That was the only time I recall Hakuho withdrawing from a basho that started in 2015.

So now the reports say internal visceral disorder, the NHK broadcast stated diabetes. Really don't want to hear it get much worse than that if even that is possible http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/sumo/20180116-OHT1T50133.html

The left knee again, injury of the one that was operated on. Nikkan Sports A link to old thread

Late night broadcast from yesterday, Jan 13, of 追跡LIVE! Sports ウォッチャー with its special feature "Human Watcher" Starts with Aminishiki then the bulk of the program is of Naruto Beya, a lot of Torakio :) https://youtu.be/2cy0D7LUWEU?t=1

Toyohibiki with arrhythmia!? That sounds worrying :( been sick for a week, but recovering and may join later. https://this.kiji.is/324397675808343137

Just thought this was interesting. This picture banzuke for the upcoming basho with Inousuke pictured in the middle - now available online at shop.kokugikan Even with pending demotion/suspension I am guessing his name is on the itabanzuke as well?

A little of that exam with Naya getting "comfortable" at the heya on NStar https://youtu.be/4xhx-7k3J8w Tokyo Broadcasting Sys. has been brutal lately with video take downs so this one is unlisted.

Any video of sumo news seems to be overshadowed by the Inosuke-sekuhara-scandal, unfortunately. Link to the NHK site of this morning's keiko.

Lowest between M1-M2Hak (with 1 fusen), Kise, Goeido, TakayasuLosing to M5 at the lowest, maybe Sokokurai if he's able to climb back up (which I doubt he can go higher than M8, but thinking he is capable of winning against a sanyaku Mitakeumi)

Kitataiki, Aminishiki, Kakuryu, Kotoshogiku, Takekaze, Satoyama, and Toyonoshima by 2019 Hatsu

Still Ozeki 4 basho with ≥10 wins 5 basho KK

3 yusho (no zensho)65 wins total with 16 consecutive maybe 1 kyujo

Hakuho Y1 GoeidoKisenosato Y2 Takayasu O1 Hokutofuji

Hakuho - 3 Ozeki Goeido - 1 Sanyaku Yoshikaze - 1 Sanyaku Hokutofuji - 1

Looks like an intense oni to me. My guess #1 鬼

As I post this, the Aki basho is well into the middle of Jonidan for Day 1 This is a quick step by step to watch the basho live if you reside outside of Japan. I'm sure this has already been posted (Akinomaki?), but here is how to watch it with step by step instructions by using a proxy switcher via Google Chrome and screenshots of what I do. 1. Pick an IP address and port number at this link. It is a list of proxies from Japan which will change your location to a Japanese IP address. The one I chose (copy) is IP ADDRESS: 27.135.210.77 with PORT: 80 You can pick any one on the list, I just like to choose any 'Elite' with a faster 'Response Time' 2. Click on 'Settings' located on the top right corner of the Google Chrome browser 3. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click on to 'Advanced' 4. Scroll to the bottom of this next page and click on 'Open proxy settings' 5. A small window will open where you click on to the button - LAN settings 6. Another smaller window will open as seen below. Here, under where it says Proxy server, check the tiny box so that a green check mark appears and enter your copied IP address as well as it's port number from step 1. Finally, Click the ok button. 7. Open a new tab on Google Chrome to the Sportsnavi Live player website here -->https://sports.mb.softbank.jp/genre/sumo and be sure to pick the correct day from a drop down list on the top right corner It will take a few tries until it connects. I usually end up reloading the page no more than 3 times. A black screen with 'an error occured' will appear with a rotating blue circle around it which is a good sign... Just be patient and wait. Depending on how long or quickly it takes to connect to your chosen Japan proxy you will be able to watch the basho live. Edit: Please note, the connection is not secure when changing proxy server. Be sure to un-check the small box at step 6 afterwards if choosing this method of watching the livestream
