Early 2000s Classic Basho streams

[mbovo 244]

Hello there Sumo maniacs,

I'm sure most (if not all) of you remember the good "old" days of Akebono, Musashimaru, Takanohana etc...

How would you like to join a little Classic Basho watch-party over on YouTube this Saturday?

I'm gonna be streaming the Natsu Basho from May 2000, the stream starts at 4PM JST (regular starting time for Makunouchi)

Come check it out at https://youtube.com/live/5DDBCS-_yXA?feature=share

 

If there's enough interest, we could make it a weekly thing (different Basho each Saturday obviously).

Hope to see you on Saturday

Nice !

How will that be broadcasted?
One day, every day at the same hour for 15 days? (that said, as you mentioned the possibility to make it a weekly thing, I doubt it is this option)
All 15 days (all bouts) in one shot on December 2nd?
Just highlights (best bouts) of the basho?

I recorded these old Bashos from Eurosport twenty something years ago. They did a 15 minute highlights of each day (not all the bouts, but the most important ones are always included), I'm planning on streaming all the days at once. Of course feedback is always welcome, if you guys think a nearly 4 hour stream is too long, I can always cut it in half and stream the halves on Saturday and Sunday.

Yes, I used to watch them on Eurosport. Great, fine with me !

That would be great for us folks in time zones that are early in the morning for your broadcast.

Interesting, but unlikely that I can stay up that late.

Those Eurosport highlights were how I started watching sumo in late 90s. Very happy if I can re-watch them.

Will the streaming stay on your channel for watching later?

That's great! Live is tough but I'll definitely catch them later.

WOW! Can't wait

[Gernobono 455]

to get the early 2000s feeling back, you have to watch it at 80*60 as we did with the livestream

Would you also like a CRT filter?

[Koorifuu 886]

Thanks! Eurosport is how I started.

Would the video remain there as a VOD?

The last 6 days of the 2000 Natsu Basho will be streamed tomorrow at 4PM JST

They are not joking, when I was researching Hakuho's style from early 2000s I found this out. Here is an example tachiai:

If you find that funny, then consider the fact that I used to get audio only sometimes because the connection was of such low quality. The audio was often more intelligible than when the video DID come up because the video would keep freezing.

It makes me nostalgic for Legend of Zelda II -- OK, not really.

[Tsubame 356]

Do you know what I most recognize by watching these old bashos?

The lack of visible injuries or resp. bandages!

It might be that nowadays they are more leaniend towards wearing those bandages around knees, feet, or elbows but you rarely saw them back in the days. I cannot imagine that this observation should be only related to the abolished kosho-status.

Let's watch another Basho this weekend.

This time, the Nagoya Basho from July 2000

Days 1-7 on Saturday 4PM JST
