inhashi 2,363 Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) News video of the event. Hakuho has a duet as well Kisenosato during the interview: "Rikishi are wanting to win every battle and I think that is the duty of a yokozuna. I will try my best on shonichi in a well adjusted state." Edited February 11, 2017 by inhashi 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,053 Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, inhashi said: Hakuho has a duet as well Each of the rikishi or oyakata participates as a pair with a real singer or group - each member of the pair sings a solo and they have a duo - that is always the biggest part of the TV coverage - next week - apart from the talk-show the only thing shown in full. I don't think they usually had as much as 6 pairs - the others are Terunofuji, Takayasu and Ikioi - no oyakata there is also very rare.

Akinomaki 40,053 Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) the Emoji error was in the post again - a very annoying forum flaw - some part of the post got lost, I'll have to recreate the mingled sections more overview pics, especially from the NSK Twitter Kise lost to Hakuho by shitatenageoo Harumafuji did the dohyo-iri, but I've seen no mention of a bout o of course it's mostly HIS dohyo-iri: oo o o o more from the talk-showoo Kitanofuji expects 15 yusho from himo another from Mitakeumi at keiko with kidso shitaku-beya: Tamawashi and Ishiura o The song part this time had 2 teams against each other - the yokozuna team lost to the one with Ikioi Hakuho of course with Natsukawa Rimi On 4.7.2013 at 11:20, Akinomaki said: Hakuho with singer Rimi Natsukawa at his encouragement party yesterday. She sang her hit song “Nada sousou” - Hakuho used to listen to it when he had just arrived in Japan to learn Japanese. oo Terunofuji as the youngest with the younger ones: Team Shachihoko - had to be a Nagoya group, but they want it Syachihoko: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Syachihoko o o oo Kakuryu paired with Godai Natsukooo Ikioi with just Hiyonoyama - his partner can't be guessed from the program - 3 for him, Harumafuji and Takayasu I guess young to young so Takayasu with Nishida Ai or Oka Midori - and HF or Ikioi with Tendo Yoshimi - decided by age&rank or song professionalism? o program o o sumo goods on sale Kise is now on the yokozuna cups o o o o Hakuho mask, an Endo mask is planned next, Takayasu with rubber coasters oo Edited February 12, 2017 by Akinomaki 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhyen 1,823 Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) According to some twitter pics, the sanyaku sorabumi featured Kakuryu, Hakuho & Terunofuji, the other side was Kisenosato, HF & Kotoshogiku. So they did fight. (Should I go dig it up in the twitter biblical flood?) HF's duet Edited February 12, 2017 by rhyen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,053 Posted February 12, 2017 Ah, that's Godai Natsuko with HF and not with Kakuryu - the other twitter was misleading. Kakuryu looks like with Oka Midori in the news7 video. So it should be Tendo Yoshimi with Ikioi and Takayasu with Nishida Ai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhyen 1,823 Posted February 12, 2017 I presume that the letter from Kitanofuji read out during the interview at the Charity event will be broadcasted. Looks like the moto-Kitanofuji-headed-koenkai will be lobbying for the NSK to keep Kisenosato until he wins 15 yusho...https://www.daily.co.jp/general/2017/02/12/0009908818.shtml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sumojoann 1,262 Posted February 15, 2017 Is this program going to be broadcast on TV Japan? I subscribe to TV Japan and am having difficulty locating it in the TV Japan guide. There is a program on the 18th called "Special Program" that lasts for 1 1/2 hours, and I'm thinking that must be it. Can anyone confirm this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have the TV Japan schedule, but JSTV broadcasts the same contents - and on the 18th they have 90 minutes the 50th NHK charity ozumo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sumojoann 1,262 Posted February 19, 2017 Some thoughts on the Sumo Charity Show ----------------------------------------------- The highlight for me was the touching song that Kakuryu sang as pictures of his beautiful wife and little daughter were shown. The song sounded like a love song. To see Kakuryu, a man who shows such little emotion in the ring, express himself so beautifully and with such emotion, was very powerful. His obvious love for his family was very moving. It brought tears to my eyes. The low-light was the "duet" between Ikioi and a short, chunky older singer. It appeared as though Ikioi's microphone was turned down very low while hers was turned up high! I could barely hear him sing!! Such as disappointment. Later, fortunately, he was able to have his few minutes in the sun when he sang his solo song so beautifully. Such a wonderful voice. Takayasu sings in such a gentle, slightly melancholy way. He's a pleasure to listen to. Harumafuji's singing ability is, at best, adequate, I guess. Maybe he should focus on painting. That gorgeous painting he brought to the show was stunning!! I wonder how much money I would need to come up with to make it MINE!!! Terunofuji needs surgery not just on his knees, but also on his vocal cords!! And last but not least, Hakuho actually sounded quite passable with his rendition on that old classic Japanese pop song "Sukiyaki". All in all, an entertaining show. However, I thought someone on the Forum said that the 3 Mongolian Yokozunae were going to sing together! Wha' happen'?? And why wasn't Kisenosato included in the talent portion of the show? He could have sung a duet with Hakuho!!! Hahaha!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
