And how you have adapted to the technological changes since your teen years is impressive.  Indoor plumbing was the tough one for me.  Now we do that IN the house?  Seriously?

What's a "house"?

When I was 16 the Romans still ruled the world. I still have a purple autograph by Alexander the Grape somewhere..

Thanks, Kinta, for the absolutely brilliant compilation! Oh, and they should definitely consider playing that music at the venue...

Everyone who thinks sumo is just a bunch of fat men in diapers should be forced to watch this.

Sawanofuji and Momochizakura are also covered by the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5tkU788jIPBWH8Lk3Y8mUg/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=0

This fan channel of Hattorizakura has expanded the scope from just the losers to also a few bouts of his natural enemy Kinjo, of same name Hattori, and of 2 more from Shikihide-beya, Ezuka and Filipino Furanshisu

Kyushu 2016 highlight reel

 

I think Yoshikaze's do-si-do with Mitakeumi was my favorite. Thanks Kinta.

End of the year of sumo- thank you all for your support. I am launching a premium channel for those that support my time (by support I mean an yearly donation of a dollar and upwards..)  with some special highlights and fun stuff. Regular basho videos will continue to be posted regularly on my youtube channel as long as I am able and the material exists, no change with that..

 

Again, thanks for the support, mental and fiscal.

Beautiful :-) Whoever says sumo is only man mountains colliding, should be cured after watching this video.

NHK World on demand.. Did anyone mention this? Wow. This is exactly what we wanted, no?

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/sumo/

 

Edit-OK, not all bouts, but definitely making this on-demand is a step in the right direction.

No?

Yes.  A small step, not a giant leap.  It's not live, it's not HD, it's not on-demand day-of and, most importantly, it doesn't have you.  Other than that, it's OK.

When I've been unable to watch the highlights live, I went with this option. It was great. i didn't realise that they hadn't done it before.

It was on-demand day of for me. But then I'm so far behind Japan in Time Zone, the Juryo bouts for the next day were going on just as I was able to sit down and watch.

Just to update that we have launched successfully. Lots of fun stuff planned. First uploaded vid-  Kakuryuu's yusho speech with subtitles. Ready for upload- "Henka Highlights" and interviews with the three sansho winners. This is the last I will post regarding the premium channel. You are all invited. One dollar or more and you're in.

I'd trust you over many (if not all) to deliver quality and can't wait for it, genuinely...

I was tickled by the launch (waaahhheeeee) part and the switch from I to we... 

Alone?? Please!! Am sure your dog helps, maybe just for the kimarite, (it's more than that I believe), but I trust he knows that was a utchari from Hakuho on Asa in 06!!

He told me! :-D(Applauding...);-)

Well, it's a she, so I am inclined to doubt your side of the story..
