inhashi 2,363 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Whilst a bunch of us wait for honbasho outside of Japan, here's an old NHK program of various sekitori to help us bide? our time. Mostly Asashoryu / Kotooshu rivalry, and a little Baruto, Yoshikaze, and after 29 years (Showing respect...)newly intai Dewanosato (44).

egparis18 622 Posted February 6, 2016 I happily watched these two in Mongolian without understanding a word. Enjoy. Harumafuji Hakuho 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
egparis18 622 Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) The image is poor, the music's good (though sound cuts off altogether for a few seconds at about 20min and again near the end), but if Hakuho's your man, it's a feast. I enjoyed it, all in Japanese which I don't understand. I'm no great fan of hakuho either. It's maybe already on the site somewhere (uploaded to YouTube in 2013), but here it is again anyway even if so. Enjoy.

Akinomaki 39,515 Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) There was a re-post of the NHK documentary on Chiyonofuji's 1045 career win record (at the time), a better version is still on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BmLk60393Q one documentary (without details given, thus I don't know if the same) about him on this thread is already gone Edited February 14, 2016 by Akinomaki 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
egparis18 622 Posted February 15, 2016 A curiosity Harumafiji, apparently on a quiz programme, very noisy, the same clip of him when he was still Ama keeps coming up, so does a lot of other stuff, there's a gyoji or somebody dressed like one behind him, and he's making everybody laugh hysterically. Can anybody explain what's going on? It's only just over 18 minutes long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHwsVlle524&index=41&list=WL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhyen 1,799 Posted February 16, 2016 It is JobTunes, where participants are drawn from public figures, and are giving a roasting on select topics. They have a New Year special dedicated to Sumo (Hakuho & his invitees) & Pro baseball for the past 2 years.

Kuroyama 715 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Nice to see so many of them demonstrated and explained like that -- and of course, Demon-kakka hamming it up.But "enigma"? Edited February 17, 2016 by Kuroyama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 44,208 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) I forgot how good Demon's English is.. The doc is excellent. Forget the hamming up and quality. It's a keeper. Definitely. Edited February 17, 2016 by Kintamayama 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love it, but on the other hand, couldn't they afford a few more takes? As someone peripherally in the business it annoys me a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
