Thank you for the good desciption of Satoyama's dangerous points to avoid. I know you are using translators etc. but I still wanted to highlight the above sentence. I never thought the bolded two words would be able to appear together... Dr. Kaikitsune? Thank you , Doitsuyama-san. Since it was set to "head" when changing the "首" with translation software, I transposed the "首" to the "頸部(similarly this means 首)" next. The result was "cervix." I checked that "cervix" also had [ according to the English-Japanese dictionary ] the meaning of the "子宮頚部(the entrance portion of the womb)" of indication in addition to the "首" on anatomy. I had chosen it easily. Supposing I had prudence to a slight degree, it should only have been "neck." I do not disgrace myself by your remark from now on. Please continue to help me. :-S

Although I was able to see only three torikumis of his in the previous basho, I have checked that he was still maintaining the right sumo. Since I was able to see six torikumis in this topic, I got to know that he had grown to be very wonderful Sumo-tori. I was able to taste sumo more deeply with this and I am thankful to Kaikitsune-san. And I want to talk about sumo again. I thought that he did his best in all the six torikumis. The defeat to Kitataiki was completely also his victory in the contents of sumo. However, don't think that the regrettable defeat is caused by accident. I think that he was not carefull enough all the final stage by the shortage of weight is the cause. Therefore, I can expect enough that the situation same for the time being attacks him. This thing is just the trial with which he has been burdened since the time of his Nihon University enrollment. An increase in weight by which speed is spoiled does not benefit him at all. It seems in me that he is filling these two opposite propositions so far. However, the result of the previous basho shows that the further devotion(shoujin) is still needed on this. I was made to realize a handicap still existing for him, though I accepting his genius and efforts. Another one defeat of his which I was not able to see is based on kotenage. Probably, since he inserted the left hand and invaded, I can imagine that Ryuuyou lost other choices. If the anticipation had come true and I expressed the severe opinion, he needed to expect it beforehand. When inserting an arm with the small body, unless it has the speed and power which it continues pushing without stopping, it is accompanied by the danger of kotenage or kannuki. The defeat by the kotenage made him do the attack by the right uniquely in his 2nd torikumi. Although he was able to win all the same, the slowness in that case proved the error of tactics. And although he with high learning ability did not use these tactics after that, a risk of his left arm being aimed at simultaneously from now on will increase. It is torikumi currently regarded as my wanting to see MoukonamixSatoyama as kind reference data. Satoyama is a rikishi who does not mistake the position for striking an opponent all his a little scarce power without a loss. Moukonami is a rikishi very good at curving the direction of an opponent's pressure. And I judge that Moukonami is one person of rikishis whom Satoyama cannot win most easily. Since Moukonami has the bad peculiarity of using hiki and hataki abundantly, I think that it is Satoyama's only chance of victory to take advantage of it. Satoyama has hardly using hiki and hataki and hardly wearing it too. I do not think of rikishi which does not collapse ahead with low posture like Satoyama now other than Asashoryu. Although it becomes as my order immediately after tachiai by Satoyama's very strong atari, the VTR shows that the depth of Mokonami's futokoro prevented it. Since Satoyama did not collapse by Mokonami's very sharp hataki, either, I have to praise both rikishis. However, I want to see Satoyama's figure which he takes advantage of hiki and pushing to the finish as my personal opinion. For that purpose, it is necessary to increase the pushing power and speed like the example of previous kotenage. I think that he is already over a juryo level in a technique side. Therefore, probably, he is in makuuchi, when he solves an opposite proposition. I am wishing that he in a good condition performing for a long period of time. However, I cannot still remove an uneasy element from the expectation now. Do his physique and torikuchi make it possible for him to go up banzuke without an injury? I want him to avoid the following three matters with high danger which I consider with excessive kindness. *1: Stop with the position of hanmi. He aiming at adhesion by a low position holding shitate, and being set to hannmi induces an opponent's kotenage. When his physique receives it, he has a possibility that both an elbow and the shoulder may be injured. *2: Insert both arms deeply. Deep morozashi leaves an opponent only the choice of kannuki(both elbows are held and locked) or kubinage. Since both are the dangerous skill to affect a rikishi life for him, he must not never stop at the state of morozashi. *3: Let a head got into an opponent's armpit. Although the last one is concerned with his life itself, it is not an overstatement. Tokitsuumi performed frequently a means to make a head got into armpit in his heyday. Although it was not the skill which should never be praised, spectators were delighted by his individuality. However, it needs the back and the neck of extraordinary strength, and forces it the burden proportional to it to the portion. Tokitsuumi which descended banzuke while it became impossible to have perform it has been in the state where it cannot do even if he wants to perform it again. It is not the skill which rikishi of the physique like Satoyama may imitate. Although Fukunaga who belongs to Sakaigawa-beya makes it the specialty now, he has already hurt his cervix. Since Fukunaga has the physique still smaller than Satoyama, there are very few choices of the tactics which he can use. This example also shows the thing in which Satoyama should not imitate it. Of course Satoyama who knows sumo well understands these three danger better than I. Therefore, I do not think that he wished and became such a posture. It is difficult to win without his approaching danger with his present ability. Generally the performance accompanied by such danger like the tightrope walking is the charm of rikishi. However, I want to see orthdox sumo and even if it is simple. Because, he is one person of a few rikishis which can please a spectator by simple sumo. Additional information. In Hamanoshima's intai-zumo in January 29, 2005, the gorgeous team event by five rikishis of Mihogaseki-beya and five rikishis of Dewanoumi-Ichimon other than Mihogaseki was held. * Mihogaseki(Baruto, Shiraishi, Satoyama, Kurazno, Hamaeikou) * Dewa-ichimon selection(Kimurayama, Dewaootori, Shibuya, Kagaya, Tokihikari) First, each five rikishis went up on the dohyo, and performed soroibumi. After Hamaeikou won one rikishi, Tokihikari won one rikishi, Baruto won two rikishis and Kimurayama won two rikishis, Satoyama won five rikishis and was completed. Though regrettable, since I am not looking at this, I cannot tell about the contents. I imagine that Hamanoshima looked at Satoyama's activity like his own thing while he remember the past longingly. :-S

He grew up in Aomori Prefecture which Sumo closely related to the high school. And he was scouted and entered Nihon University. He served the captain of the Nihon University sumo club, had Masutsuyoshi and Youtsukasa with him. He competed fiercely with Dejima(Chuuou UNV), Tochinonada(Takushoku UNV), Tokitsuumi(Tokyo Nougyou UNV) then. It is one of the bases which made them the success in grand sumo that their capability had rivaled on the very high level at that time. His sumo style in college days was holding Hidari-Shitate, performing Kuisagari(Hold Mawashi and pin by own head with a position lower than an opponent in order to restrict a motion of an opponent.), and shifting to Dashinage or Ashiwaza(Uchigake or Kirikaeshi). That is, it was the same as the tactics which he is now using. He actually made his debut of the grand sumo by complete victory(7-0) at the Makushita-Tsukedashi. To my surprise, he floundered the period of one year or more in Makushita after that. Although he was also injured, Hakkaku-Oyakata's instruction itself was the main causes. Oyakata was a rikishi who has poor physique and persisted with a straight Atari(dash or rush) and pushing against the every rikishi. I do not think that Oyakata tried to produce Kaiho as the second Hokutoumi. Probably, Oyakata tried to give him the basic technique of sumo which lacked in him uniquely. In the process, it was sealed in Inashi(The technique by the hand for changing the direction of the pressure from an opponent aimed to this), Ashiwaza(In this case, the technique to the leg by a hand is also included), Mawarikomi(The motion for being located in a opponent's side), etc. which were Kaiho's feature. He must have had that forced serious difficulties also in a Keikoba(practice-dohyo) or the Honbasho-dohyo. The difficulties completed his sumo style. Probably, if either Oyakata or Kaiho was merely insufficient for a while, he had completely become the rikishi of another sumo style. In that case, I guess that he was not able to give me the impression more than Mainoumi who is the senior of Nihon University, and his sumo style probably became like Asofuji who is the younger generation of his same high school in Aomori Prefecture. Mainoumi's original sumo theory and its practice charmed many spectators, and he was indispensable to the sumodom. However, I like Kaiho's sumo style for the very individual opinion of delighting me by more high-concentration sumo for a long period of time. The most impressive feature of his completed sumo style is dashing against any opponents with his head to the front at the Tachiai. Although he does not aim to push to the last like Hokutoumi, straight Atari at Tachiai is his pride as the manners of the Dohyo. When taking victory or defeat into consideration, I could not think that the tactics were effective to Musashimaru or Dejima, but he adhered to pride stubbornly especially to the opponent with the good physique. And I used to look at it with wry smile and respect. It is one of the tactics of sumo not to be located in the front of the opponent who is superior in power. When such a tactics is used at Tachiai, it is called Henka. Since he was too proud to adopt Henka, in order to ease the handicap of the physique, there was only one means left behind to him. That is Atari with proper height, angle, and speed. In order to make it possible, he is always nervous about the timing of Tachiai. Many in the rikishis who are in a slipshod manner about Tachiai and does not have a tactics, tend to plays cheap tricks(Matta, feint, Henka, etc,) diligently in order to make opponent's tactics fail. Overcoming these obstacles, his perfect Atari without all power losses had performed the Denshamichi. However, Atari was successful, then it mostly only just changed the situation into fifty-fifty. After that, he had to move quickly so that he might not locate at an oponent's front and stop , and he needed to make sumo finish as soon as possible. This chain of motions which begin from Atari are effective as a model for many rikishis who have a poor physique. However, nobody can do having the preparedness and confidence for performing it with no problem, without going through hell. Kaiho is the rare rikishi who got it, even so, but it was not that he continue being blessed with a victory, and was not able to become Wakanohana(-Masaru). However, I do not think that his charm is inferior to Wakanohana just because his capability is no match for there. He is one of a few rikishis who can make me have a feeling that results are not all. Although this may be high-sounding ideas, the respect from the fans to his preparedness and confidence at least make up for the victory which he could not get. Moreover, I do not also have the intention of measuring the limit of his ability on a basis that his ability was no match for there and his best reaching Banzuke was Komusubi. I have the image that he is the rikishi who adhered to his own sumo style rather than the victory. Moreover, in many Bashos, I think that his number of victories did not reach the limit of his capability. I had already felt that at the May-Basho(1998) when his Shin-Nyuumaku with Wakanosato and Touki. Contrary to what was generally expected, Kaiho got Kachikoshi on Day12 early most among three Shin-Nyuumaku rikishis. However, after that, he was defeated successively three times and finished the basho. It seemed in sight of me that three successive defeats was caused by an oppoent's cunning. Also after a little regrettable Kachikoshi, the case which his orthodox approach serves as an enmity for him had not been unrelated to him for a long time. And he rarely recorded the victory of nine or more victories. However, I had not worried about drop to Jyuryo for him. Therefore, in order for me to guess his result in a basho, I cared about only the position of his Banzuke. The result of him in the Banzuke position where has match with the rikishi more than Sanyaku was around five victories. In many cases, the result of him in the position not more than it was seven victories or eight victories irrespective of his condition good or bad. According to the reverse view, only his result cannot be seen and neither his condition nor the rise and fall of capability can be judged. I have judged it with the frequency of the victory by his Nage-waza(throwing techniques). Although Nage does not necessarily regard me as suitable for his physique, I feel his natural gift for vividness in case he wins by it. I think that only this much is not what is depended on his intense Keiko. However, in order to tie to Nage of finish, it becomes conditions that he does not yield to an opponent's pressure. When he who have a poor physique fulfills the condition, I judge that it shows his good shape. He may dare persist to Nage against the opponent on whom his quick motion acts effectively. I used to feel his margin for his restricting his motion intentionally. The match with his good shape against the rikishi with the good physique turned into the place of appeal suitable for him frequently. I have memorized vividly the scene from which Musashimaru, Takaninami, Dejima, and Kotonowaka became his victim. It is one year or more ago that I looked at such a scene, and I felt decline in his strength recently. However, in this year, he recorded twice the double figure victory which he has not attained since September, 2001. He restricted the frequency of sumo of an orthodox approach remarkably by the decline of his physical strength, instead used Inashi abundantly in it. Ironically, it seems that his restricted capability brought him the best result. Although the position was contrary to the time of his yielding to cunning before, the example whose capability and victory of his do not correspond was reproduced. However, I am not disappointed at his turnabout. He uses the cunning technique for the short period left behind to him, after having continued performing the right sumo for a long period of time. Compared with the rikishi who is not so as for the rikishi who has continued the sumo with an orthodox approach, accumulation of the damage to the body is remarkably large. Even if he by whom a new handicap was added to the handicap of the physique performs however cunning sumo, I do not criticize it. Moreover, since his cunning does not include deception or the tric like feint or tantalization or Henka in Tachiai, there was nothing for me to criticize anywhere from the beginning. Although we could not expect any longer the forcibleness which he showed occasionally, many techniques which only the rikishi who knows everything about the Sumo do not limit his good point only to cunning. As an example which makes such his presence felt, I want to introduce a match against Ama. Ama is also the rikishi who adheres to an orthodox approach and has a poor physique. Kaiho adheres to his sumo style, and, on the other hand, Ama adheres to the sumo which pleases the spectators. I thought that both of them had occasionally exceeded worth of they own victory. Although these two Sumo might show the same means and the same result, when service by Ama was sometimes superfluous, two were a completely different thing. Although the opinion of the pros and cons probably exists about the superfluous showmanship in sumo, it is not necessary to have the worries at least in this bout. It is because Ama does not have a margin to perform it and Kaiho's sumo does not allow it easily. Furthermore, just fighting [ which had its best without affectation] produces frequently the sumo which pleases the spectators. This sumo can satisfy all three, Ama, many spectators, and difficult me . I put power into an introduction too much, and I just forgot to have been going to introduce the Torikumi itself carelessly. The Torikumi was made Day2nd, 2005 in March. The first day, Kaiho made Morozashi successful against Kasugaou at the moment of Tachiai, and obtained a perfect victory by Abisetaoshi. On the other hand, Ama got a perfect victory against Takanowaka by Yorikiri with low Atari, Tsukihanashi and Morozashi too. And a bout by them starts at last. Ama performed from the beginning Morote-zuki(Pushing with both hands at one time) which was effective yesterday. It was for avoiding that he is clung by Kaiho who exceeds by the sharpness of Tachiai, and a good position is taken. Although the plan of Kumu(holding the Mawashi) from the beginning also existed as service for a spectator, he did not mistake the selection for a victory. Kaiho opposed Tsuki-Oshi by Taguri(An opponent's arm is held and pulled) or Inashi as usual. Victory was able to smile on which of Tsuki or Inashi as well. The goddess of victory on the day made it successful that Kaiho inserted the left arm using Inashi. By it, Ama who was losing the victorious opportunity locked Kaiho's joint of a wrist and an elbow, and he tried all-or-nothing Tottari(Throw with locking an opponent's joint of an arm). Since Kaiho's balance collapsed greatly, at the moment of being visible in the match was over by Victory's caprice, Ama rotated and collapsed on the Dohyo early for a moment. I thought that Ama's own momentum drove himself to Dohyo. However, slow playback projected Kaiho's secret technique which is close to a foul. Kaiho locked and pulled the finger of the hand of Ama who locks Kaiho's wrist. Since fingers are a weak point for human, attacking them are forbidden in all grapple games. Although I have seen the hidden technique which hide the opponent's fingers by hand and also attack in a certain game in the position of Udehishigi (Technique which bends the joint of an elbow to an opposite direction) which is the technique of juujutsu or juudo, naturally such mean trick is not allowed in a game. Kaiho is the last man who would commit a foul intentionally. Therefore, it seems that this secret technique was the result of his body reacting unconsciously. However, supposing he judges that the elbow and wrist which he had hurt were made into the target by Tottari, Kaiho is the last man who never let Ama do as he prease too. Even so, that I conclude that Kaiho attacked the finger of Ama as retaliation will only mean that I extended the wings of imagination too much. Although there is no clear fact after all in addition to the thing which appeared also about both rikishis, it is certain that Ama's Tottari recalled Kaiho's fighting sprit, and made him earnest. Even if I looked at such his performance, I did not deny his decline yet. The basis is reduction of his forcibleness which I described also previously. And I think that this thing and the bout against Iwakiyama on day 14th in September, 2005 which ended in tragedy are not unrelated to each other. Iwakiyama at this time had got seven victories containing Kyujyo for three days by unfortunate injury and Kaiho had already got eight victories. And they come from the same Aomori prefecture and, moreover, their single-mindness about Sumo are common. The situation of surrounding this match showed that this match was not a bout which must win absolutely for Kaiho. Moreover, if that is not right, Present Kaiho should not stop at that style of Yotsu. This match was the special example in which he appeared on Dohyo without having a strategy at all. If he was going to leave the body to flow of sumo, he should have done so to the last. If he had got Kachikoshi by very good condition, he was able to reverse that situation by Shitatenage or Ucchari of the final stage in the bout. However, according to my measure that I used also short time ago, it showed that his condition was not so that he has not got the victory by Nage during two Bashos containing that Basho. Although he lapsed into the situation which cannot be reversed any longer by present him, in the position which has some distance in before the end of the Dohyo, he was not able to empty power by himself. Although Iwakiyama also seemed to have saved power and fought from beginning to end in me, since he was more superior, he was further not able to empty by himself . Did Kaiho have an illusion that own condition was good, by Kachikoshi in time earlier than usual? Or didn't a sence of duty for the spectators, the responsibility for the Kyokai, and pride for his own Sumo allow him to give up easily? Although I have seen a rikishi who stepped toward the foot out of Dohyo of his will, or a rikishi who lost while smiling, Kaiho is completely opposite to them. On the other hand, a spiritless rikishi or sumo exist anywhere. I look at them and have come to look at sumo by the viewpoint which cooled down gradually. Existence of the rikishi whose physical strength declines, and yet who has backbone, awaken my subconscious for the sumo. Even if I am seeing sumo with the tease, the wry smile, and the look which cooled down, there is a sense of the respect and worship to the rikishi in the depths of the heart worthy of an old sumo fan. Such subconscious equal to a desire is realized the existence by a rikishi like Kaiho. Among the tolerant persons who kept reading my endless monologue as far as here, anyone may be looking forward to future Kaiho's sumo more than before. Also for that purpose, All we can do are to pray that this Torikumi (against Iwakiyama) is not recorded as sumo of the last in his whole life. However, even if he announces a retirement in the near future, his Sumo will not finish yet. I do not suspect that he possesses the necesary qualities of first-class to coach for younger rikishi at all. By the foreign native rikishi's rise, although the style of sumo is differing from the former, I have not been anxious about this present condition, and I am enjoying that freshness rather. And all the more because so, I feel the necessity for the soul and the technique of Kaiho being certainly inherited as a tradition. I believe that both existence continues evolving each.

急がないで、自分のペースで学んでください。 そしてここでは、あなたは間違いを気にしないで自由に日本語を使ってください。 「フレーフレー、ils !」 *フレー(hurray)は日本では応援のかけ声としてのみ使われています。 「ganbare !」 に近いかな。 (Whistling...) 常の助さんのおっしゃる通り、踏み込みこそが最大の課題ですね。 朝青龍戦も、踏み込むどころか立ち後れでした。 私は「普天王の良い面が全て出た」と評しましたが、「受け身のスペシャリストであった頃の彼の数少ない良い面の全てが出た」と訂正します。 それにしても、先々場所出来た踏み込みがなぜ先場所全く出来なかったのでしょうか。 対戦相手が変わって上位ともなれば、立ち合いのスピードの違いでそれまで出来ていた踏み込みが不十分になることは考えられますが、普天王の相手は先々場所とほとんど同じでした。 彼の改善後の立ち合いは基本通りであったものの、やや甘く単調であったため一場所の間に憶えられてしまって通用しなくなった、と考えるべきなのでしょうか。 もしそういう理由でなければ、私が前回言った、十分に踏み込む事が出来ない身体的理由が腰のあたりに有ったのでは？という想像も否定できないでしょう。 私がもっと不思議に思う事は、おそらく皆さんも同感だと思うのですが、なぜ彼が突如強くなったのかということです。 普天王の５月場所、稀勢の里の先場所等は最悪の内容だった場所のすぐ次の場所での大変身でした。 過去にも何度も同じような例を見てきましたが、このあたりが予想や想像を超えた相撲の奥深さかもしれません。 実は先場所、私は稀勢の里の敢闘賞を予想し、それによって日本のあるゲームで好成績を挙げることができました。 先々場所の彼が過去最悪の内容だった事を認識しつつ、私はそれを無視して迷い無く敢闘賞受賞を予想しました。 相撲協会の期待を集める彼がいずれ敢闘賞を取ることはほとんど決まっていたような事です。 その時期は周りの状況によって変わるものの、受賞自体は必ずしも本人の状態には左右されず達成されるだろう事を、私は過去の事例から無意識のうちに学んでいたのかもしれません。 期待の若手力士や新入幕力士が見当たらない先場所の番付はその典型的な機会で、その状況は完全なお膳立てのように私には見えました。 だから、私は彼の能力よりも立場に多くを期待できたのでした。 見る者にそういう風に感じさせ予想させる事こそが相撲の不思議さであり、これもまた奥深さと言えるでしょう。 大変身も三賞も同じような不思議さのもやに包まれていて、それを相撲の技術的な観点から読み解いたり予想する事は困難です。 中にはそんな事に関してむなしさを感じる人も居るかも知れません。 しかし、私はそういった技術や能力面で計れない相撲の流れを勝手な解釈で予測することもまた相撲の楽しみの一つだと思っています。 飽くまで「勝手な解釈」でね。 ;-)

Fujisanさん、お誕生日おめでとうございます。 (Chucking salt...) Thank you for your post always kind and gentle. (Holiday feeling...) Please touch your first computer gently also to it not to make fire spurt out again. :-D

＞初日　朝青龍　・　普天王 確かに、普天王の良い面が全て出た一番でした。 以前彼が腰高で大きな身体を反らしながら土俵を回って粘っていた、あの悪癖までが役に立ちました。 一方、朝青龍はやはり守勢に転じた時に唯一の弱点である体格差を表面化させますね。 普天王は腰の位置を下げた相撲によって変身したのですが、先場所はそれを保てない身体的な理由が有ったと私は想像します。 その怪我？が治れば、幕内上位には定着できるでしょう。 腰を落として、廻しを取りに行ける立ち合いを心掛ければ、関脇までは容易に到達できます。 ＞十二目　春日王　・　白露山 この一番の勝負所はまきかえの際で、双方に勝機は存在したように見えました。 白露山は得意のひねりに固執しましたが、重心の低い春日王には決まりにくく、最後には体勢を悪くしてしまいました。 一方、春日王はがっぷりになると案外攻め手がなく、こちらも全く作戦を持ってなかったようです。 ああなると、粘って少しでも良い形に持ってゆく以外に手段は無かったと思います。 白露山の先場所最も目立った技術は突き放しで、春日王には特に有効な手段であったと私には思われ、作戦を持たなかったことが悔やまれます。 ＞八目　安場　・　豪風 好一番でした。 ただ惜しいのは、豪風の体調が十分でなく押しの威力が７０％であったことです。 しかし、よく考えてみれば、そうだからこそ攻防のある良い相撲になったのかも知れません。 豪風の押しが１００％であったならば、この二人の対戦はよく切れる刀同士による勝負のように一瞬の技で勝敗が決するかも知れません。 次回も楽しみですね。 ＞八目　把瑠都　・　大雷童 先々場所、把瑠都の負けた相撲内容は突き押しに対して明らかにもろい面を見せていましたので、私は先場所９勝を予想していました。 しかし、先場所彼はそ欠点を大幅に改善しており、単なる突き押しに対しては、それが大雷童のように強いものであっても対処できることを実際に証明して見せました。 唯一スピードを伴った押しに対してのみわずかに弱点を見せましたが、それを常に発揮できる力士は幕内下位以降には存在しません。 嘉風と将司が見事な作戦と動きを奇跡的に連動させ完勝しましたが、来場所は学習能力の高い彼には同じ手は通用しないのではないでしょうか。 彼の肩越しの上手は、貴ノ浪を連想させますが、貴ノ浪の場合は度々両廻しともが肩越しでしたので、その後は大変に苦労をしたものでした。 それに対して把瑠都は、下手は前廻しで不思議な変則形となりますが、それは彼の身体能力の成せる技であるので、私は改善の必要を認めません。 むしろ、あのカニバサミが幕内のどのあたりまで通用すのかについて、私は大変興味を持っています。 例えば、玉ノ島が腰を後ろへ引いた状態でも彼は上手を掴んでいるか、旭天鵬と四つに組んでどうなるか、また駿傑、安馬、豪風、安美らの動きにどう対処するのか、等興味が尽きません。 一方、大雷童の方は、スピードこそ無いものの、当たりと押しの強さには見るべきものがあります。 特に先場所、６敗した後の彼は鬼気迫る迫力で、テレビで見ていても彼の気迫は十分に伝わってきました。 安芸乃島の精神を受け継いでいることを私はあらためて確信し、応援したくなりました。 親方の指導によるものと想像されますが、取り口が直線的で小技をほとんど排除してしまってます。 だから、怪我をしてしまうとごまかしがきかなくなりますが、彼のようない良い目をした力士には何とか無事に幕内にたどり着いて欲しいと心から願ってます。 (Whistling...) 先場所、幕下上位から後の全ての取り組みを見た中で私の考えるBest boutは、悲しいことに１０日目幕下の猛虎浪

More than I imagined, you like Sumo itself. Probably, worth of the sumo games differs by whether he wants to get to know or to see what about Sumo. I am enjoying the sumo games for a little different interest from the interest about Sumo. However, my observing Sumo minutely now for the games is that I love Sumo still more deeply as a result. Since I am enjoying many games, my view about sumo becomes focusing on the games, and I can't avoid it. Even if the games does not exist, I will look at Sumo, but probably, it will not be as careful as now. Since I have more interest about the present and the future of Sumo, it seems that existence of the games and my interest is obtaining the synergistic effect. I know that you love Sumo very deeply from your past post and private mail. This decision of yours proved that you could have none of all spices and could love Sumo purely. And I know sensuously that many those who do not need a spice are among forum members. However, please do not dislike existence of the games. Please watch existence of the game as the cause to make a new sumo fan, and a process until we can enjoy sumo without a spice. As long as you are in this forum and continue being a sumo fan, we are friends who are not different from former at all. The games will continue forever with Sumo. I consider that the sumo games are who can go in and out freely and in comfort. In the future, if you may find out pleasure different from an interest for Sumo at the games, let's enjoy ourselves together by all means. (Whistling...)

Although it was blessed with fate, I am very glad to be able to get Yusho. To the result of participants including me practically equal, I got honor by few time lags . Supposing it is possible, how is it for twice about the number of questions from next basho? Thank you very much, anyhow. I am looking forward to next basho also. (Yusho winner...)

I appreciate your supplementary explanation. Although I also prepared supplementary explanation, it was just going to talk still more puzzling. Have you noticed that I am making your translation(in 2005.5 Nori-C) the model? I was saved very much by it, and was beneficial for study English. Thank you very much. (Dohyo-iri...)

Very happy to have you here Tosa-san! (Nodding yes...) Although your comment in Japan is difficult to translate into English like it of me, we need to cooperate each other and need to break the language barrier. (Laughing...)

Zenjimoto-san, I was careless. This was the standard which you thought long ago. "All the foundations of a rule already exist in classic sumo games." It seems that I was guided to you so that I might reach in fact there although I thought that I thought. (I am not worthy...)

It seems that I made the rule difficult myself. I thought that I could choose from East direction's(Higashi-gata) rikishi on Banzuke in order to put into "East Desk". An understanding of my English is in such still a state. However, the cause of my MK was never depended on it. The guess of me in Oracle in this basho was inaccurate. As it being natural, the inaccuracy of my guess in Oracle in this basho was the cause. However, probably, it will be difficult for me to get KK without a fortune from now on also, even if I do not misunderstand distincton of Desk. It is a very difficult game. However, I think that difficulty does not cause the non-popularity of a game. I'm very flattered about my Kanto-sho award. It was because my misunderstanding could not but make me choose "double-staffed Cubicles." If participants increase in number, please restrict Sansho to the gamer who attained KK. (I am not worthy...) Finally, I have some idea about the standard of Gino-sho. *The gamer who answered both E-Desk and W-Desk correctly within the Cubicle. (Although both three appropriate gamers in this basho have one Cubicle, probably, it has plurality mostly in the future.) *The gamer with few errors about the Cubicle with the maximum error. I am sorry that my reply and gratitude become late. (Being unsure...)

How do you do, Asojima-san. I am one of a few Japanese members in a forum. I sometimes muster all of my poor knowledge about English to write the talk of old Sumo. In that case, I am thinking as important the opinion of my friend of the age of the same about as you. If an opportunity visits some day, please tell us that you were seen. 安壮島さん、大歓迎！ (Showing respect...) 下手な英語で失礼致しました。
