Akinomaki 41,842 Posted August 4, 2015 A nice presentation of the 3 versions of the Endo panel for the "o-hime-sama dakko", with 3 slightly different Nagatanien kesho-mawashihttp://wol.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/column/20150730/211141/1.0 - without mage2.0 - chon-mage3.0 - ooichoall at the kokugikan entrance 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d_golem 213 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Anyone notice the photoshopped parts of the panels? Pretty sure the only "whole picture" of Endo is the first one, the second and third ones are mish mash of parts, although very nicely done.

Akinomaki 41,842 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) For a new Nagatanien CM to start on TV on the 8th (shonichi), Endo had a try at the CM song, the first time he recorded one. They have produced an Endo-hug doll (Endo dakko-chan), and the new CM campaign will have 10 000 of them as a present, like with the "Sit on Endo and throw him"-cushion.http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/1562158.htmlhttp://www.nagatanien.co.jp/cp/d10dakko.htmlthe next best thing to having the now standard princess hug (o-hime-sama dakko) with his cardboard image (above)The recent Endo CM at: http://www.nagatanien.co.jp/enjoy/cm/detail/135/->http://www.nagatanien.co.jp/contents/cm_movie/135.flv (download or play) Edited November 6, 2015 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inhashi 2,363 Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) It's almost the new year. With an increase in popularity of sumo, there is a demand for the 2016 calendar. This is a small sneak peek from the photo shoot. Come to think of it, the JSA calendar has probably already been released.

Akinomaki 41,842 Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) With a series of new baby-star ramen CMs by Ichinojo, also a campaign with it: this time a kesho-mawashi style towel can be won https://www.oyatsu.co.jp/campaign/ichinojo3/ apparently I missed at least one former campaign Ichinojo got 2 new kesho mawashi from Oyatsu Co., for which he made a baby star ramen "dodekai (giant) ramen" CM recently. One like a baby star ramen CM, one like a kesho mawashi. He apparently likes the one with the "ba(b)y-chan" character: "a resemblance, maybe?"

Akinomaki 41,842 Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) After a set with Endo now the post office releases 2 sets of stamps with Ichinojo. And this year it's Mitakeumi, only in the region and only 1500 sets. Nearly all sold on the first day, should be sold out by now. http://www.post.japanpost.jp/notification/pressrelease/2016/06_shinetsu/0622_01.html The set: 10 stamps and 2 postcards: http://www.post.japanpost.jp/notification/pressrelease/2016/06_shinetsu/0622_01_02.pdf Mitakeumi's father got one as a present from the post office http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/economy/20160701-OYT1T50169.html Edited July 3, 2016 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 41,842 Posted September 4, 2016 The next generation hype has the chon-mage debut for his makushita debut at the Aki-basho. Kotokamatani: "Well, to put it - at last like a rikishi." The oyakata allowed him to have one since Sep.1st. Of course he aims for sekitori, but: "I'm still below the below. First of all kachi-koshi." In makushita he's allowed to wear a Hakata-obi to fasten his yukata, the oyakata gave him one in black with lines as a present. http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/sumo/20160904-OHT1T50134.html Hokuo as an example for the type of Hakata-obi he got 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And more celebration: home in Kita-Akita-city the Akita-ken (Akita pref.) honored citizen paraded about 460m with an Akita-ken. He also has the record of most makuuchi wins by a rikishi from Akita pref., 507. http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/sports/sumo/20161003-OYT1T50019.html 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
