Kinboshi Channel Videos (Plus Translations)

[mikawa 1,794]

Don't know if this has been posted before, but found a video where two guys in Tokyo made a song about all 46 beya (in 2018), one beya per line, and they've also included an interesting fact about each one. They even took the time to do a short yokozuna dohyo-iri in front of every beya! I've translated the lyrics beneath the video.

 

Lyrics

Two minutes from the Kokugikan - Michinoku
One touch (on the button) and the door opens - Kasugano
Diagonally across from a bus stop - Izutsu
In front of you is a one-way street - Dewanoumi
A rental apartment is above it - Tokitsukaze
This is Asakayama

Air conditioning in the training hall - Kise
There's a karaoke room - Oguruma
Five teppo pillars - Takadagawa
One minute from Kiyosumi-shirakawa Station - Shikoroyama
Diagonally across from a park - Otake
This is Nishikido

Octagonal glass window on the door - Hakkaku (hakkaku = eight corners)
In front of you is a Summit supermarket - Kataonami
Right besides a coffee shop, in front of you is an izakaya - Takasago
Watched over by Chiyonofuji (a statue) - Kokonoe
A lot of yoghurt, Kotooshu is the trainer - Naruto
The first rikishi from Mongolia, Kyokutenho's Tomozuna
Plenty of facilities in the underground gym - Isegahama
Right next to Arakawa River, in front of a greengrocer - Yamahibiki

Moved to the Higashisuna District - Takanohana
A furnished bike shop - Miyagino
Entering through ALSOK security - Chiganoura
I fell in love with the gate - Fujishima
Located in Sugamo - Isenoumi
This is Tamanoi

Kenagakawa River in front of it - Sakaigawa
Undergoing renovation - Oitekaze
Entrance is on the second floor - Nakagawa
8-chome 8-8 (address) - Onoe
You can get the mail right away - Shibatayama
This is Minezaki

Beautiful two-storey concrete building - Irumagawa
For some reason it looks like a hotel - Minato
Tsukubamirai City in Ibaraki, a quiet land - Tatsunami
Ryugasaki City in Ibaraki is also a quiet place - Shikihide
Near an expressway interchange - Onomatsu
You can see it after going down a slope - Nishonoseki
A new building in Shibamata in the Katsushika District - Azumazeki
The most rikishi, made by "Koto"s - Sadogatake

The closest to convenience stores - Asahiyama
Three traffic lights from the station - Tagonoura
The traffic is surprisingly as heavy as before - Kagamiyama
Just off the main street - Musashigawa
Still under construction, I'm thrilled - Nishiiwa
Raising a cat, and doing a photo album of it - Arashio

Filled with sweat and tears, the beyas of sumo
All 46 are fascinating, the beyas of sumo
I want to vist them, the beyas of sumo
Let's watch Ozumo

This is an older version of the first one.  I don't know if the lyrics are different.  The first one shows the new location of Miyagino Beya.  This one shows the old location.  I loved how they got one of the rikishi from Miyagino Beya to participate in their video!

Should these videos be moved to that thread?  Or are they already posted on that thread?

A special thread like this is better than a general one, if that gets as big as the funny one.

If you have time, could you please post the lyrics for this one, too?

Could do, though my plan for today is to publish the Primary School Grade 5 banzuke in the Amasumo Section and write comments about it, usually takes two hours at least to do.

You sound pretty busy today!  No rush.  If you happen to have time in the next few days or a week or so, we would all appreciate it.  Thanks!

That follows the Kyushu 2016 banzuke, reversed order.

All sanyaku are in correct order of precedence. Strangely, maegashira alternate west-east from the bottom, but since there was a M16e and no M16w, the pattern is M15w - M16e - M14w - M15e - M13w - M14e and so on... Presumably they took a printed banzuke and didn't pay attention that there was an unequal number of rikishi on each side

[sumojoann 1,256]

Thank you so much, Mikawa, for translating the lyrics to the second video!!!  It's even funnier than I thought it would be.  I can't believe he said Kakuryu looks like a dog!

Maybe it's just the sheer size of Tokyo, but their definition of "not far" seems slightly stretched to be honest. I don't know if they've relocated since 2014, but according to Google Maps, Tomozuna is a 2-hour walk away from Azumazeki

The kid's getting around Tokyo pretty good. This must have taken a little time to put together. Not that I should talk, but he needs to keep working on that shiko.
