Asashōryū WINS!!!

Shit, that was epic. With the final bout leading Hakuhō and Asashōryū to 14-1 tie in wins, leading to a Final deciding bout for the Emperor's Cup, with Asashōryū coming back for the win!

Man, that bout was almost good as November's deciding bout between Hakuhō and Harumafuji with 13-2 tie.

Any thoughts /jp/?

started watching sumo about a year ago, it's an interesting sport, i'll give it that. there is a lot of spirit in the sport, and it's interesting to see a sport with ritual/ceremony mixed in.
it's also interesting to see that some of the top sumo are not japanese, the current yokozuna, i think are mongolian?

/sp/ just gives me this

I thought /jp/ would appreciate some japanese culture, but now i realized, that it's just full of /v/tard's and /a/tard's that come to /jp/ because it's a safe haven for constant touhou shit and don't appreciate anything of the japanese culture except for animu and video games and are so fucking full of themselves that they think they are the hottest shit on the block and won't accept any new material or actual Japanese culture in a board specifically for Japanese subjects and not just a single entity of video game/anime/touhou related material.

I watched it on TV.

The only way to watch this on TV in the United States is to get either
1) Get it through your satellite provider for an extra fee
or
2) Be lucky that your University has it provided on their cable (as in, they pay to have it on their satellite to distribute to their cable tv users)

I have the 2nd option, been thinking about paying extra for my Dish network at home to have NHK/TV Nippon. (Though, it's expensive, I think about 15-30$ extra) Some of the bigger shows have dual audio, like the sumo matches that happen every 2 months, but it's mostly in Japanese, but some of the shows are exclusively in English, like J-Melo (a music show about japanese music).

But to more properly answer your question, I watch it on NHK World/TV Japan International.

Pic is of my favorite sumo wrestler, he got promoted to Ozeki last fall, which is the second highest rank in Sumo. Him and Baruto are probably the best disciplined in the sport, attitude-wise.

I only have the NHK World when I get back to the university, and since I didn't get back until a week ago, i must have missed it.

Also, I'm not fluent in Japanese, I can only understand about 1/4 to 1/2 of most conversations. Though, I do find I can get most of it, if I'm paying attention, mostly just from the Japanese expressions. If there is one thing I learn from NHK, it's that the Japanese LOTS of music shows, LOTS of comedy, and LOTS of food shows.

Not to say that's a bad thing though.

I'd guess that they can't have tattoos, just because I've never seen a sumo with them. Then again, most Japanese people don't seem to get tattoo's, probably because they are more associated with Yakuza and not being an ideal member of society.

Perhaps you missed the companion /a/ sticky? The 'unfortunately' is merely moot lamenting that it would be dominant force of the board.

Not that any of that matters, as you seem to be hoping that one day none of that will be on this board, which is unfortunately not going happen at the current rate of expansion.

Hence my suggestion, perhaps you should begin looking for a new better place to fulfill your ideals?

>I see the rules that say "All Things Japanese Welcome". Not if you try to discuss anything here that isn't Tohou you get saged to oblivion and told 3D IS PIG DISGUSTING.

Do you not understand the concept of a community? You seem to wish for a rapid change of ideals in a large amount of people, which will not happen.

I'm merely suggesting you rethink this venture, and state the de facto truth of the matter. That this board is filled with people you don't like, and will likely continue to be. As things will continue like this, your outrage and shock are completely useless. If you are so displeased with the truth, perhaps you should be seeking someplace else to fulfill your need?

I have merely been offering suggestions at your outrage. You may not believe it, but I don't generally declare my dislike of a subject, I just stop frequenting places when they no longer hold my interest. Especially due to the fact that sages are limited, and I like to use mine politely.

But, as stated, it is a community issue. If you want "shitposters" to go to /b/, you'll have to move half the board. At that point, why not just relocate yourself instead of tilting at windmills?

>Sumo matches take place in a dohyō (土俵): a ring, 4.55 metres in diameter, of rice-straw bales on top of a platform made of clay mixed with sand. Its area is 8281π/1600 metres squared and its perimeter is 91π/20 meters. A new dohyō is built for each tournament by the yobidashi. At the center are two white lines, the shikiri-sen, behind which the wrestlers position themselves at the start of the bout.[3] A roof resembling that of a Shinto shrine may be suspended over the dohyō.

No, sadly. The two or three Pretz commercials she have are on youtube. But the one I'm looking for isn't.

I heard about it on on wiki with "He is noted for being a fan of the singer Ayaya, so much so that it prompted a commercial where they appear together (although a surprised Kotoōshū found out the day of filming that their parts were to be digitally melded). He often appears in TV commercials of yogurt products."

I was looking at Kotooshu's wiki article and saw that, so that's what peaked my interest about this commercial with both of them together in it.

Thanks though.
