Kintamayama 44,349 Posted August 20 Yes, probably for the last time, I will be in Tokyo for Aki from the 16th till senshuraku, not included, as I leave in the morning of the 22nd. So videos will stop after day seven, regrettably, but fun for me. If anyone is interested in meeting up, well, I'll be there.. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am the Yokozuna 186 Posted September 24 Great pictures, Kinta. Really seems you had a great time. Satoyama - what a feisty fighter (did he ever miss a tournament due to an injury?)- nice to see all of them healthy and enjoying themselves. Hope you would have the chance to make some more trips to Japan in the years to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be dishonest for a while, won’t you. I imagined a different situation where you just rang the phone and said “hey it’s Moti, I am coming on Thursday for a dinner. Have the beers cooled and gather the boys for some motivational talk” and Isegahama dutifully complied. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I used a beeper. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
