Seiyashi 3,540 Posted December 13, 2022 Some updates: First, Hiro did a review of Enhō's basho, but the real kicker IMO is a tour of Ryōgoku with Kaisei. The reason it's a kicker? Kaisei seems to be the first guest with some English proficiency - his opening comments don't sound too heavily accented, although he and Hiro default to Japanese for most of the rest of the video. It's a good travelogue-style look around Ryōgoku beyond the Kokugikan. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RabidJohn 1,263 Posted December 13, 2022 This is an absolute gem, not least because I learned rikishi (at moto-Kaisei's heya) believe having chicken in their chanko during a basho brings them luck - because chickens always stay on two feet! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw that somewhere else as well, thats why apparently they only sell chicken yakiniku in the kokugikan during tournaments, so I think its a common superstition 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karasukurai 153 Posted February 17 Well, Sumo Prime Time is worth a look this week, great interview with Takakeisho - the kind of English language access I'd hope the channel would have. Really enjoyed it. More like this please. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sumojoann 1,140 Posted April 15 (edited) This "new" episode of Sumo Prime Time is hilarious but also a little sad because so much has happened to these wrestlers since it was filmed in 2020 before Sumo Prime Time existed. This clip features various wrestlers including ex-Hakuho, ex-Kakuryu, current Yokozuna Terunofuji, ex-Goeido as well as Endo, Asanoyama, Tobizaru, Takanosho, Mitakeumi , Takakeisho and Shodai. They are each testing their hand grip strength using a dynamometer to see who has the strongest hand grip. You will NEVER guess who won by a handslide (I mean landslide!!).

When I wrote, "You will NEVER guess who won.....", I should have added a sarcasm emoji so it would be more obvious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
