I am the Yokozuna 187 Posted May 1, 2014 Great pics. Though considered to be fat, some of the rikishis in those picture look much more athletic than some of the men posing with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kuroimori 1,634 Posted June 8, 2014 And completely unrelated to anything else, some brief appearances by three sekitori in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVvUxM0ywrc Totally missed that until now! Awesome video of a still awesome song. Makes me wanna go to Tokyo right away (well not necessarily during rainy season...) Who is the third rikishi together with Toyonoshima and Satoyama? Maybe Tenkaiho? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asameshimae 220 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) That was fun all around. I'm not surprised Toyonoshima featured most prominently, he is a pretty uninhibited happy go lucky guy. I really don't see all the excitement over Bruno Mars, but I really like this Pharrell guy. I say this because the first time I heard the song I thought at first it was a Bruno Mars song that I really liked. Nope, it was somebody else.

Benevolance 2,478 Posted June 9, 2014 Toyonoshima's wife is involved in talent management or video production or something along those lines, I think? Anyway, I probably spent an hour yesterday watching "Happy from...!" videos instead of studying for my CPA exam. One of the Italian towns(?) had the best choreographed and edited version; the roller skate dancing was pretty awesome. That's a super catchy and fun song.
