Uploaded today. Date and location not stated.

That is the previous Shikimori Inosuke, so it would have to be pre-2018 at the Yashikuni shrine during the spring jungyo.

In Aomori today, Hakuhou called on local boy Ounoshou and gave him seven minutes of tough love. "It's been a while since I was called out so I'm happy. It will make me stronger and it's an honor," said Ounoshou. There will be two more days in Aomori during this month. This jungyo, both Kakuryuu and Hakuhou are giving special "love treatments" to the local boys. "We will be here two more times.." acknowledged Ounoshou. "We'll be here again, so that was just a rehearsal.." said Hakuhou, cackling ominously. Still, it is a sign of Hakuhou's recognizing Ounoshou's abilities. "I think his strength goes with his youth. When Asanoyama got the yusho in May, Ounoshou did beat him.." added Hakuhou.

Ounoshou does Godzilla:

Looks like shumoku-zori (bell hammer shoulder throw). Another source translates it bell hammer backwards body drop.

In know it's only jungyo, but whatever it was, it was awesome!^^

Yamanashi · August 10, 2019

Shohozan's thinking: "I've got him now. He'd have to throw me over his frikkin' shoulder to get me down, but he won't because 1) he's got an injured shoulder, and 2) it's only jungyo, so he won't risk it for one lousy envelope."

On the other hand, Enho is playing 4-dimensional Sumo Chess.

Tochinoshin joining the jungyo today in Sendai.

And he is back with a bang. He lent his chest to no less than six rikishi, from Sandanme to Makuuchi, and, get this, tsuridashied Mitakeumi in the bout between them. "This is what I'm here for!" he declared later. He is suffering from a left shoulder and a right knee injury that caused him to withdraw from last tournament and was recuperating at a hot spring in Tochigi prefecture. He is kadoban and has a nice incentive to recover. He is building a mansion in Georgia not far from his parents' house which should be ready by spring. The plot can include a gym and can contain 4 basketball courts, I hear. The two -building mansion will include a restaurant, a bar, a training facility, a pool, sauna, all for his personal use and he is considering showcasing all his sumo trophies so the citizens may gaze upon them. He is also installing lighting resembling the kind there is on the dohyo and at the entrance there will be a sign bearing his shikona . So it's a "Tochinoshin Palace". Work on the building started a year ago and its cost is "Well, you know.. I haven't finished paying for it yet.." according to the man himself. "So I've got to gambarize.." he summed.

The Palace owner himself:

Jungyo performance notwithstanding, that reads like the plan of a man who knows the end is nigh. Restaurant and bar sound like a business plan, otherwise... well, for personal use it's just a fancy kitchen and dining room, innit?

My thoughts exactly , although I would be glad to be proven wrong.

Meisei has been training his butt off, and it finally caught up with him. He had 5 bouts against Ryuuden and Ounoshou today and lost them all. Then he borrowed Kakuryuu's chest for two minutes. He then went to give some water to Kakuryuu, who saw what was going on. "Man, there's no use in overdoing it," he was told by Kakuryuu. "The fatigue has caught up with me.. I was saying to myself that maybe I should rest a bit, but.. Kakuryuu is the kind of person who sees these kinds of things.." said Meisei. For Meisei, training with rikishi from other stables is important as his stable is a bit far out and he doesn't get a chance to do that. "I always overdo it during jungyo. I can't do any good training with fatigue," he added.

Kakuryuu did some sumo training today. He took on Shoudai for 11 bouts and won them all. "I better start training against guys I don't know so well. I want to train with guys I'm likely to face next basho.., " he said later, as he is very familiar with Shoudai and that is kind of a cop out, I guess. Yesterday, the rikishi took a 6 hour bus ride from Yamagata to Aomori, and it was a very exhausting ride. "I can't sleep well. It was a kind of bus that you can't relax in. When I sleep with my head facing downwards I wake up with a headache.." lamented Kakuryuu. As the head of the rikishikai, he was hearing a lot of complaints from the other guys as well. "It's unbearably humid in the shitakubeya!!" , "The air conditioning has no effect!" etc. "Our (Yokozuna/Ozeki) room had great air conditioning but I pity the other guys. I worry that the tsukebito running around performing their various duties might get dehydrated. We have to be more thoughtful towards the rikishi," he added.

"I'm not a rikishi anymore, so.. I would like everyone to be focused on the current rikishi and I don't want to steal their lime-lite.." said Furiwake ex-Takamisakari very seriously, so it didn't happen.

"Autographs?? That I can do.."
