If someone has some other suggestion as to how to help those that can't see the content let me know. Do you have some option that doesn't include FB?

RabidJohn 1,665 Posted January 25, 2017 I was most surprised this morning when "Japan is celebrating the first Japanese wrestler for nearly 20 years to reach the highest rank in sumo" was one of the headlines Moira Stuart read out in the lead-in to her 8am news report on BBC Radio 2 in the UK. I can forgive the "wrestler" bit because they got nothing wrong in the report from Tokyo that followed. It was in the middle of Chris Evans' Breakfast Show, which gets around 10 million listeners. Thanks to all who contribute relevant news items to this thread - I'm running out of likes! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is correct, the other Yokozuna ascension were also in the same month when they clinch promotion. The banzuke and rankings are compiled (in secret) right after the basho. So it is published within the NSK and known to the "few". And significant promotion such as sekitori-hood (Juryo), Ozeki & Yokozuna are announced officially at the same time. Kisenosato also has to perform his Yokozuna duty, including his Hatsu dohyo-iri tomorrow, so he is effectively a Yokozuna as of Wednesday when the NSK messengers delivered the message.

Akinomaki 39,802 Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) NicoNico like for Kakuryu also broadcasts Kisenosato at the Meiji jingu, Friday 15-16h JST: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv288737394?ref=qtimetable&zroute=index Last time the video afterwards was visible also without timeshift reservation, for some months, but only after login. Maybe the live broadcast can be viewed without that. I made a timeshift reservation this time to be on the safe side.
