  • unstoppable? he is like shit now

  • I agree that Kotooshu has been disappointing this past year, but during this tournament, he was unstoppable, going 14-1 and winning the Emperor's Cup. A great performance - let's hope he can do it again some day.

  • why are there english comments on japanese tv?

  • Luckily for me, NHK, the national TV station of Japan, offers English commentary on Sumo from 4 to 6pm each day. The regular Japanese commentary is on the main audio channel, but you can hit a button on your remote and get the 2nd audio, which is English. This really got me into sumo when I first got here in 2004 and I didn't speak much Japanese.

  • Your enthusiasm in infectious. It's fun to watch your passion for the sport.

  • Yeah - it's easily my favorite "Japanese" thing that I've discovered while I've lived here - an appreciation that will continue after I leave I'm sure. :)

  • last video(or the second to last). YAY SUMO!

  • FREAKING AWESOME! Go Kotooshu! He is totally rocking this tournament. Thanks for the great videos Jason-san. Even though the quality was worse on this one it was legible and that is all that matters for me. I hope Ama beats Kotooshu, but Kotooshu beats the other two. It would be a prefect tournement in my book.

    For Jakob0815: There are a lot of English speaking expats in Japan so they have English commentators on some channels and stations(sat usually), also Jason talks about it in a reply in..

  • Mate! I'm loving these commentaries. What about today - a bit odd, but on the positive side, it means that the thing still isn't over yet - and with my man Ama meeting Kotoshu tomorrow... Oh, this tournament is just TOO GOOD! The Kotooshu match was a total psyche by Aminishiki, but he's got to deal with that. Can't wait for tomorrow!

    Peace

  • 今場所の琴欧州は強いですね^^
