Preview of the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo - Sept 2009

Don't want to hear you talk. I just wanna watch sumo.

@chesterbesterfeild fair enough. There are plenty of places to get simple match coverage.  I offer commentary and my enthusiasm for the sport - most of my subscribers like that and that's why they watch. If you don't like it, I respect that and you can watch somewhere else. Peace.

I am a huge fan of Sumo since 1997 when a first Mongolian wrestler Kyukushuzan entered top division.

Thanks a lot to JasoninJapan (now Jason in America)

I'm also a huge fan of Takamisakari.

As we Japanese say "kyara ga ii", meaning "he's got character." The man's got heart. Sure, he's not what you might consider a top-notch wrestler. And as a matter of fact, he loses quite often, but he's never a sore loser. He gives his all every match. The way he psyches himself up seconds before the match is a thing of a beauty (although, quite comical)!! He has won over a lot of people's hearts by simply being the "majime" rikishi that he is...

I am also a big fan of Takamisakari. I would like to see some of his matches. Like Tiramisu said. He's not a fantastic fighter, but he definitely puts his all into it and is definitely fun to watch. Would appreciate some of his matches. =)

The big TV seems more proportional for the subject matter than your old JET TV. Good to see the vids.

[bbjagaa]

That's awesome that you're back! If you could turn the camera to TV while talking that'd be just great. I think everybody knows how your face look like. No offence at all, I enjoy your comments very much, keep it up.

[JasonsinJapan]

haha - yeah, there is much less "Jason face time" during the regular matches... :)

Yaaaay! I'm so psyched!!! Thanks Jason!!! Btw, I agree with all 4 of your picks for possible winners of this basho, and I hope Harumafuji can win this one! Only wrestler I'll root for as much as I support Asashoryu. :)

[DoubleMiz]

All right! I was just thinking the other day that it should be about time for the Fall sumo tournament. Lucky you that you're able to subscribe to TV Japan - I heard that channel's pretty expensive, lol
