Coming soon. OK, I'll have to figure out how to stream Rakuten on my tv later this year. If anyone hears a release date, please let us know on the forum. Not sure if it belongs on this thread exactly, but thanks for the heads up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone want to contact her and tell her about the Forum and Kintamayama’s videos? I agree with Joann. Brava! Nicely done. It's so rare to hear a new voice on this subject that's not riddled with errors, or that expresses some of the emotion, some of the heart of the sport.

I wrote Saya an email and pointed her at the forum, in case there is interest. LOL, you don't need anyone more "experienced" to write, though. You're a fabulous communicator. I should know.

He’s hard not to like — not only is he incredibly skilled, but he’s never demonstrated less than impeccable sportsmanship." A few Kisenosato fans may beg to differ. Nice article, notwithstanding. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

code_number3 430 Posted February 19 (edited) Reading Japan Times nowadays is not as exciting as before Can we still read Japan Times’ article after making account without subscribing? Edited February 19 by code_number3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asapedroryu 128 Posted February 20 I can read the Japan Times in my mobile using Firefox with the steps below. Haven't tried in a PC or in another browser. 1 - Open the link as normal. 2 - Switch off the Internet of your phone as soon as the page loads and before the login pop up shows up. 3 - Read the article. Note: After about 10 seconds you can switch the Internet back on and the pop up won't show (at least for me), but it will show up if you move to a different page.

Akinomaki 28,943 Posted February 20 (edited) I don't read articles online, I download a daily bunch of them and filter out the nuisance parts on the pages. You can do that manually: first save the page as html code, watching the saved page should already be enough to read it without popup, but you can go on to extract the good part: Edit the html file with a text editor like Scite My filter for japantimes (including the menu pages): start at: role="main" end at: class="single-sns-area" (I have more options to include other type of pages) You can delete what is before and after Edited February 20 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

code_number3 430 Posted February 20 (edited) I just tried to read the article on PC (I'm on Google Chrome). When it still loading (PC was throttled because I was back-uping my iPad), I stopped the loading and start reading. I could read the whole article without THAT dialogue box. Just this time so far, I don't know what happened next time. Update #1: tried this method again and it failed Update #2: I tried another method on PC and mobile. Hope this works next time PC: when the page starts loading, I immediately pressed print (Ctrl + P) to read the "print-out version) of the article Mobile (I tried Safari on my iPad, probably if you have Safari on iPhone/iPad/PC you can try this): when the page starts loading, I immediately pressed Reader view to read the "print-out version) of the article Edited February 20 by code_number3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yamanashi 1,740 Posted February 23 Not much history of sumo -themed crossword clues (except the Guardian in 2020?:), so I'll put this here: Wall Street Journal, Monday, February 22, 2021 29 across: "Sumo wrestlers throw it before a match".
