Thanks again Kintayama. I saw a video on you being interviwed and saying that you want to be on NHK commentator seat. I can definitely see that happening sometime. Please make sure to put into the forum when that happens.

Thanks to everyone who thanked-my pleasure.

You're the man, Moti. Thanks

.I will change it to hellokitty if needed..

Heh, if Hello Kitty works for Kisenosato then why not. :-P

[Igordemorais 75]

Why not, Kintamayama?

[Mukonoso 273]

Why not, Kintamayama?

IIRC Kintama is slang for certain anatomical parts. (Laughing...)

I always thought that Hanamizu would make a funny sumo name.

The bemused laughter of native speakers on hearing his cyber-shikona during Kinta's appearance on Japanese TV a while ago probably tells all:

(That clip deserves periodical reposting anyway. :-))

[Mukonoso 273]

Thanks for posting that. :-)

[Kintamayama 45,564]

Yes, there was a big buzz on the TV station blog after the broadcast (about 1000 comments), where a surprising (maybe not) amount of people demanded I change my shikona immediately. Others said they will petition for my appearance. As it stands now, John overtook me from the left. Thing is, I went waay over my head saying my dream was to be a commentator on the JAPANESE side.

Good luck with that..

The biggest compliment I got on the show was that I wasn't transliterated in katakana like they usually do when foreigners are involved, but I was treated like a Japanese. That made my day.

I think Japan is ready for a sumo commentator named Kintamayama. The shikona alone would bring millions of young fans to the sport :)

And there's me thinking it meant something venerable and serious hehe :)

Nothing more serious and venereal than a mountain of testies, I say.

[Kintamayama 45,564]

All of HaruAmafuji's bouts (he wins them all in the end but don't tell anyone..)

[yorikiried by fate 2,029]

Such all-basho compilations are super interesting. Quite some shaky bouts in the first half.

And props for your ever improving editing skills!

(Where's the video editing skill smiley?)

[Kintamayama 45,564]

Turns out there are at least three Harumafuji compilations out there, all of them of superior quality. As for my "editing skills", this effect can be used with a limited number of letters, so I can't use it regularly with the torikumis and my golden nugget gems..

[yorikiried by fate 2,029]

Man, just take the flowers, will you?

[Kintamayama 45,564]

I never take flowers from strangers-mommy won't allow it..

[Naganoyama 5,949]

You should have offered him a steak. He always accepts a good quality steak as soon as mommy is looking the other way. ;-)
