Vancouver BC Sumo Fan

Hey all, new user, first post. I'm a big fan of Hoshoryu. I've written to Tatsunami stable twice asking to join their stable as a paid supporter using their form. I've even translated my messages into Japanese to make sure I was understood, but I have not heard back. Have any other people on this board living outside Japan been able to join any stable in this way, or Tatsunami specifically? I'm not even sure if it's possible. I'll be visiting Japan in August and when I visit the stable and I want to feel more like a part of it than just another foreigner prying my head inside, you know? I also really like Hoshoryu's story and want to be a little part of it.

The Youtube channel has an email...let's try this. tatsunami.stable@gmail.com

Hey, thanks for your reply! There was a spot on their form that said something like "Unsure" and I thought that was maybe my opportunity to get in. I even wrote in my message to them that I'd gladly pay more to cover the additional shipping. I've also been interested in Sadogatake stable, since I'm also a big Kotozakura fan, but they can only be contacted my mail! Interesting thought on the personal connection angle. I'm a bit of a ...well, I'm completely unafraid of tracking people down and contacting them online. Hahaha. Maybe I do go looking for the okamisan, or another high-level supporter of the stable...they also have that new YouTube channel. Looks like it's gonna be work, but if anyone comes across this thread and has an angle, please hit me up! Yoisho!
