If we're talking Sumo dreams I had one earlier this month where I managed to go to a day of the Hatsu Basho. Except in order to get in you had to pass a test to prove you had the spirit to truly enjoy the sport. It was a written exam and all the questions were generic morality stuff like "Someone drops money and doesn't notice do you keep it or give it back." Also I could see through the doors of the arena and the Dohyo was being carried in, fully built, by the rikishi Pikmin style.

Just realized how well former Takekaze's new recruits are doing in his newly formed Oshiogawa-beya http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?shikona=&heya=68&shusshin=-1&b=202301&high=-1&hd=-1&entry=-1&intai=-1&sort=1 19 year old Kazenoumi with a 6-1 Jonokuchi Yusho in his very first basho, 23 year old Kazekeno with 5 consecutive 6-1 scores, most recently in Makushita losing only to the Yusho winner Ochiai of Miyagino-beya, and 18 year old Kazeeidai with a more humble 4-3 in Jonokuchi, also in his very first basho.

oh drat, you're right. the price was throwing me off, the maker's website said they were only about $2 yen each, but looks like they were a limited-ish run made six years ago. i found a couple of japanese sites that were selling the set for about $20, but doubt they accept overseas payments so rolling the dice with Jellybean' for their favorite'ss probably Sword's best bet.

Its probably supposed to be Aoiyama, but you can't see the cat-jugs under the fur.

I guess now that I'm looking at it in more detail (and not quite as sleep deprived), it appears the actual manufacturer is "Re-Ment" which is a Japanese toy manufacturer, so theoretically you'd be able to find their products in various stores that carry Japanese products, Jellybeet is just the first one that came up that appears to have these in stock. Seems like Re-Ment use the blind box model quite frequently for a variety of their product lines.

I don't know if they actually sell full sets or if you'll just have to buy enough blind boxes to get lucky, assuming you can even find it in stores. If you're there long enough and/or have a local contact I'd maybe check Yahoo Auctions as people seem to use that a lot there instead of ebay.

I wonder if they just made a flat 1/8 chance for each of them of if they have rare/ultra rare loot box bs. Like Kittyzuna is a 1/100 box. Also, this guy is Takakeisho in kitty form https://jellybeet.com/amuse-mii-sama-rikido-sumo-cat-plush/

The destruction of fan coverage channels continues apace. Kintamayama’s channel has been shuttered by YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL_gf2Tm2ho Another decade+ of videos lost. Christ this is dire.

I'm assuming Natto will just keep making new channels and the takedowns will probably come too late to actually disrupt same-day watching, there's also Twitch VODs (navigate to twitch.tv/CHANNELNAME/videos and then switch the video type to "Past Broadcasts" to find these)

Natto has a discord of some sort. Agree that he’ll probably keep popping up accounts after getting banned, but if he ever flees YouTube I suppose that’s where you can find out where he’s posting on a daily basis.

It's one of those things where I understand the reasoning, but I don't agree with it. NHK has a duty to defend their copyright content, but it's getting so aggressive that it's potentially leading to a sort of new dark age of sumo fandom for viewers outside of Japan.

I do not know if he is still at risk of receiving a third strike despite all the videos being private.

Midnight by preference for me personally, because of the lack of audio commentary (and the chat I can tune out if I don't want to read it), but the former was an option if Midnight's stream took a poo poo.
