Ariyoshi's Meeting for Reviewing

Recommended Posts

Last weekend, an episode of Ariyoshi's Meeting for Reviewing (有吉反省会) on Nippon TV included a section on sumo.

One of their members, Ohashi Michiko, was disappointed with her quick loss to world sumo champion Alina Boikova from Ukraine, and wants to get better and get stronger.

She is entered into the middle school competition at the Mitaka Citizen Tournament, facing opponents who are half her age. Her first opponent is Mitaka Sumo Club's Ikeda Koji (池田 昴司), who has 3 years of sumo experience.

Later on, Ohashi Michiko takes part in a team event, where teams from 5 different clubs face each other in a round robin format. She joins up with Maro Kosho (マロー 高尚) and Ninomiya Sosuke (二宮 颯祐), both members of Mitaka Sumo Club, to form Team Rabbit. Maro Kosho has an English dad and a Japanese mum.

Although it is not shown in the video, Team Rabbit finished in joint first position with Team Tanuki (who are actually my club, Tachikawa Renseikan Sumo Dojo), and so they have a play-off to determine the winner. Also not shown in the video is the result of this play-off match, which ended 2-1 to Team Rabbit (Michiko lost her bout). (Weeping...)

To prepare for the program, Ohashi Michiko trained with Mitaka Sumo Club for the past couple of months.

And here are Team Tanuki, introducing Takeda Kanato (武田 奏人), my boy Hirano Shurato (平野 修良斗), and Kinoshita Shun (木下 瞬):

And whilst we're at it, Michiko is earlier seen talking to this boy, who is Tachikawa Renseikan Sumo Dojo's Tsurumi Yusei (鶴見 優聖). He's gone from losing in his first bout at the Wanpaku Qualifiers in Tachikawa to winning said tournament a year later, and even qualifying for the Wanpaku national finals, where he won his first 2 bouts.
