Recommended Posts

I promise I shall make a donation come March when I'm able to recharge my Paypal account with my yearly attendance bonus from work (wife won't let me spend money from my paycheck/bank account cause she's afraid (rightly so) that I might spend on my hobbies left and right).

Today it would have been convenient to use jpPlayer.

As NHK G broadcasted some live debate until 15:40 JST,

NHK BS1 had sumo coverage from 13:00 JST!

In case of regular programming at NHK G, Sumo is shown on the NHK BS1 subchannel 102, which cannot be seleceted by jpPlayer.

So finally, there is a also a good thing about those debates, which I would most likely not have explored had I been sticking with the NSK stream!

Endou is now officially my favorite rikishi. His style reminds me of Asashoryu. Stay out of injury, and he will be the one!

Endo reminds me very much of Asashoryu in the ring particularly in his uncanny ability to switch technique in mid-bout if "plan a" doesn't immediately yield results.

Well, I just became really fond of Font Day! ;-)

To me it matters while others think it is irrelephant.

NHK news7 (hidden) day 14 video - top: Kakuryu, Hakuho (+interviews), none in the results

News7 had a special on Endo before the sports corner. Only the supporters part of it is on the net:

Did Hakuho coat his fingers in vaseline for the regulation bout? Or was Kakuryu wearing a teflon mawashi?

I don't ever recall the yokozuna giving up grips like that.

And that's "grips". Plural!

Exihibiton Sumo, but far from "at its best".
