Jonosuke Posted March 13, 2006 Author Posted March 13, 2006 Is it just me, or do Futeno's messages sound more calmly and reasonable lately? Well because for one thing Kaikitsune is more calm and reasonable individual as compared to some hyper hack who was doing it here before (Being ninja...)

Sanvean Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that. (Being ninja...) However, the general form of Futeno's messages in English actually might be the matter of translation and I probably shouldn't make any opinions not knowing the original text.

Yes. Jonosuke has Japanese brain. I try to avoid misinformation so when there is some nuance I am not sure about, I simplify it a bit to make it more neutral to avoid unnecessary gokai jungle.

Kaikitsune Makoto Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) Day 3 Loss against Kotooshu by yorikiri Big sigh. Like yesterday, sumo content was not so bad but.. A loss is a loss. Too bad... I was able to hit well at the tachi-ai, after that my body position wasn't that bad but at the end I couldn't fight off ozeki's attack and ended up losing by yorikiri. After getting the mawashi I wonder if the difference was in the speed of the attack. Perhaps I was too slow. It is not so easy against high rankers... One bout at a time, just believing in myself going for good sumo to the end... Tomorrow Ama-zeki I will do my best! Edited March 14, 2006 by Kaikitsune Makoto
ilovesumo Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) (Applauding...) It's really cool. Now that I know the translation, I went to the original blog- and I understand good 2/3 by guessing -"this kanji might be that"...Thanx! (Applauding...) Learning by doing is the best way. I will try my best with an other Sumo blog in the next time. Edit: Tried to do a translation of Musashigawa's blog.......but........... (Applauding...) ..............sorry, to big...too much is tooo unclear... Edit 2: Tried Tamanoi blog- same........failed... Short sentences please, guys... ^^ I hate Bunpo...

Kaikitsune Makoto Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Day 4 loss against Ama in a rematch by tsukiotoshi Things are not clicking together I feel... Condition is good, fighting spirit is there but I can't win. (Such a flow!? What kind of flow is that..) I wonder if there is still the difference of power compared to high rankers... Sumo is difficult... In today's rematch the main reason for the loss was the tachi-ai. Couldn't get the tachi-ai right (and awase sugite of whose meaning isn't fully clear in this context to me) and was late a bit.. Yes, it is an excuse. Still a deficit of power! It is just so. Tomorrow Kasugao-zeki One bout at a time...my own sumo! I will do my best tomorrow too! Today's subject is tachi-ai... (I guess he means today's learning point or something)
ilovesumo Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 The reason for the loss wasn't the Tachi Ai.... (Punk rocker...) Ama lost.
Gernobono Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 The reason for the loss wasn't the Tachi Ai.... (Punk rocker...) Ama lost. i was thinkig the same, watching the replay....and i was surprised what the video-gyoji is paid for, when he did not see that one.....maybe he has no replay, but i doubt it.....strange decision, i think....futeno was the winner in the first bout i guess
Asashosakari Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Ermm... In today's rematch the main reason for the loss was the tachi-ai.
ilovesumo Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Ok, but the reason for the FINAL loss was the remach which should never have been given.
Jakusotsu Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 ...and i was surprised what the video-gyoji is paid for, when he did not see that one... Ok, but the reason for the FINAL loss was the remach which should never have been given.You're both missing an important detail here: the gyoji indicated Ama being the winner, and the actual outcome was much too close to warrant a sashi-chigae. There have been more disputable torinaoshi.
Takanorappa Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 The reason for the loss wasn't the Tachi Ai.... ;-) Ama lost.One thing that has always struck me about Funteno's tachiai is that he often seems to get set up a long time before anyone else. It isn't uncommon for him to sit there, both fists down in the dirt, for quite awhile (~5 seconds) before the actual start. Perhaps all that waiting is affecting his twitch reflexes, and slowing his charge? In all four of his bouts this basho, he was fists down for all matches, and his tachiai looked more defensive than not. He was averaging ~4 seconds before start for those (by Dale's clips), while is opponents barely got set. Each time, they seem to have won the tachiai. In the day 4 rematch against Ama, however, he had more rhythm, didn't set on all fours, and his tachiai look much improved. Just for kicks, I took a look back his Natsu & Nagoya '05 bouts (his 11-4 & 10-5 bashos) to see if there was a change in his style. There, he appeared to use more of the "sit back & swing into it" taichiai (for example, day 12 Nagoya '05) much more often than the "all fours" tachiai, and he had much better starts. I don't know why he's settling on the "all fours", but it does look as if it might be hurting his sumo. (Sorry for the sumo-related content. ) (Neener, neener...)
Petr Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 "(and awase sugite of whose meaning isn't fully clear in this context to me)" he was trying to adjust his timing to Ama too much (?)
Kaikitsune Makoto Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 On day 5 he lost to Kasugao. The main content of his blog today was basically: Today was horrible. I am weak physically, mentally, in every way. Too bad. I have no choice but to come back, do sumo, win etc. --- It is hard to imagine how it feels when sumo goes to waste and sumo content gets worse and worse and then every day he writes about it to the blog heh...must be a bit tragicomic too especially if he has some disastrous bout tomorrow too. In sumo the feeling must be quite annoying since one can lose in a second without getting anything done. Talk about waste of a tournament day. In most sports you can at least suffer longer in the misery like when losing 0-12 in soccer. That is bad too but this 1 second misery on a honbasho day is kind of special trait of sumo. Kind of like taking false start in 100 metre dash and getting disqualified. First keiko in the morning to wake up the body, then to honbasho arena and putting mawashi on, getting hair done and then warming up the body, doing all the shikiri and then fail totally in a glimpse of a moment.

A bit like bull riding where you need to last 8 seconds but it can all go wrong in a small fraction of a second.
Kaikitsune Makoto Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Day 7 loss against Aminishiki by yorikiri Because I am losing, no matter what I say it sounds like an excuse. Can't get into my form. I don't think my form was good from the start but.. (kaikitsune comment: I have a feeling he separates form from good condition here, meaning he may be in good shape as he has been writing but he can't get into his own sumo, I am not sure about how to translate this kakkou tsukimasen in relation to condition. Kakkou being more like form which may be totally separate from condition too. Some Japanese fluency human could help in this as this in rather interesting part) It because of my own amainess (amai must have some delecate side-meaning here referring to some state of thinking too much of himself or whatever..kind of like spoiled child or thinking that life is too sweet or he can just get on the dohyo and win or whatever..I don't know) that I can't manage good results. To win on the dohyo is the best proof (kaikitsune: of whatever, ability, talk is cheap-kind of comment I guess) To be honest, really regrettable. It is of no consolence but this is the conclusion I reached. I just have to do it myself. It all depends on myself. I'll do my best tomorrow too.
Petr Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) kakkou tsukimasen is similar to kakkou warui - he wasn't able to show his good stuff me thinks amai is like being soft or not good/hard enough typical example: waki ga amai = kantan ni saseru Edited March 18, 2006 by Petr
Tatsuma Keiru Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) Futeno Blog Day 8 Win Shitate-nage VS Tokutsuumi Phew Edited March 19, 2006 by Tatsuma Keiru
Tatsuma Keiru Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) Futeno Blog Day 9: Loss Oshi-dashi VS Kotomitsuki I put in my all, I was able to concentrate but, No words come to mind other than "Regret." The theme of this tournement, my tachiai, I don't think is going well. Today I got a late start, losing under pressure. The fact that I let my opponent have a good tachiai, if I don't attack that problem I will always be behind. With 7 loses I have no way back but, I will keep on going one match at a time. Tommorow as well I will try to do my own sumo. Futeno Blog Day 10: Win Yorikiri vs Jumonji I'm not releived but... This was good... Because yesterday and today I haven't been able to get in the groove on my tachiai, today's win was really big. The contents weren't very good but, when he tried to pull me down, the reason I won was because I resisted. But I really did hang in there... I've got a long way to go on the edge but from tomorrow as well, one match at a time. I'll give it everything I've got! TK- Things aren't going to good for Futeno again; I hope he can salvage what's left of this basho. ;-) Edited March 21, 2006 by Tatsuma Keiru

Pikenoyama Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Musayoma? He looks more like Fujishima oyakata, nee? (I was stupid...)
Kishinoyama Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Aren't they one and the same? (I was stupid...)
Pikenoyama Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Aren't they one and the same? (Showing respect...) Yes, of course (excluding typos) (I was stupid...)
