Asahi TV changed their program schedule for a 2h (planned) exclusive urgent newsflash: "Takanohana tells it all"

I think this 9tsu video will stay a bit longer on the net, 98min http://video.9tsu.com/videos/view?vid=120508

and I expect small video versions of it to continue to appear on YT

I truly don't know where to put this. It's not a TV show, it's not a Haru 2018 PR per-se, it's not preparations of the masses, it's not rikishi encouragement events. So I'll just leave it here.

Ikioi, Gagamaru and Hidenoumi  were on a talk show today in an underground shopping center. Many female fans came to see the handsomest of them all, Ikioi. Questions were allowed. When asked if he had a girlfriend, Ikioi answered: "No, but I do have a boyfriend.." to which the crowd reacted with much laughter. (Try saying that today in the West- you'll have various offended organizations at your throat..). He then unashamedly plugged his parents' sushi restaurant in Osaka. He was then challenged to prove that rikishis' body are soft, so he proceeded, in his kimono, to do matawari, sitting, doing a split and bringing his head to the ground (see photo). "My body is soft so I don't suffer from injuries," he explained. "Yeah, right, Ikioi-zeki - you've got tons of injuries," remarked the amused Hidenoumi, laughing with everyone.

He didn't or more likely it was cut off: his usual ending pose was missing - his focus for the basho is on Tochinoshin, Ichinojo and the Taka twins, 4.5min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=144pdF6qiCc&t=41m49s

By chance I bumped into this http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzQ1NDk1NTQ0OA==.html?spm=a2h0k.8191407.0.0&from=s1.8-1-1.2
After the annoying 45sec ads the program focuses on rikishi 'of the new era' broadcast earlier this month. 
Mitakeumi, Oguruma beya, and Asanoyama

Thanks to Inhashi pointing to that site, we have it a bit earlier - and it was there already at the start of the basho http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzQ1NTIyMTg4NA==.html?spm=a2h0k.8191407.0.0

If you get it with youtube-dl, you have no problems with CMs or the need to activate flash.

If no video shows (maybe these links expire), you can copy the title into the search field and get the link from the search result http://www.soku.com/search_video/q_密着180日!大相撲

Nice other programs there as well

TBS Birth-Day about the 2nd life of former rikishi is on the 18th, 5p.m

Next is another episode about the 2nd life of former rikishi - after grave illness, on the 15th

the first one featured Misugisato

And a kind of followup on this about Misugisato was today on TBS Bakuho! The Friday 爆報!_THE_フライデー. He by now has reduced his debts to single digit million yens by offering seitai therapy and chanko: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M57ImeM8Trs&t=17m36s

maybe better versions will appear later

Again a program with focus on Musashigawa-beya, esp. the okamisan, who donated a kidney to save the oyakata http://www.daily.co.jp/gossip/2018/04/23/0011191887.shtml

This basho no InsideOut with Kyokudozan on BS11 - BS Fuji Gappuri soken is not on Youku so far - it was early there last basho - the CM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmYrNWzZEPg

Demon's Ohayo Nippon pre-basho corner had the focus on Abi and Endo, and on Kisenosato, who also was the subject of the Illustrated explanation by now NHK top sumo announcer Kariya: Kise waking over a bridge under construction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLLCjbpEl0s&t=106m

the NHK news Shibu5ji Nomachi Mineko pre-basho corner had the focus on Kitanofuji, esp. his fashion - sumo-wise on Tochinoshin and more detailed on Kyokutaisei: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2Zg4BWx7sg&t=43m50s

Both videos gone - I'll search for other versions - Demon found

I don’t know if this was already posted or if it’s even the right topic so sorry in advance but… this vid is amazing, Hakuhō explaining various sumō techniques (how to break a grip, how to effectively get one, how he breathes at tachiai, etc.…)

Today an episode of TBS "The Friday" with one part about Wakanojo

After intai he became an office worker and 2 years later needed a kidney transplant - his mother was the donor

Yesterday Wakanojo was the rikishi example in a special of the series about vanished genius-athletes and what they do now. He now works, with ex-Wakatenro and ex-Wakatoba, in care for the elderly, preparing chanko for them and pleasing them by doing sumo in rikishi suits. The problem that hindered and ended his career at 31 was the diabetes he had developed at age 18.

Starting at 3:30min, till 24min. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6l4968

Data mentioned:

Average age of retirement is 24.5, 95% leave the NSK: close to 50% end up in the restaurant business, 2nd most as care workers, 3rd as seitai practitioners.

70% of the rikishi develop diabetes type 2 due to their eating and drinking habits.

TBS so far has managed to avoid videos to be available for both the Tochinoshin and the Hakuho documentary.

The only new sumo related program available is this quiz for Demon - you can try how many of the 50 questions you can answer: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6ldiuf

and an off topic: TBS Jonetsu Tairiku about female sumo athlete Nozaki Mana http://www.pandora.tv/view/gogoucc/56113129/

[inhashi 2,363]

Two vid links to the now 7th? Hakuho series.  TBS will rebroadcast on the 23rd.
