Not that many sumo programs before the basho this time - maybe InsideOut will be again after the basho

Demon's Ohayo Nippon pre-basho corner - focus on new ozeki Tochinoshin - recently his prediction and final  performance are cut out by NHK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la7gum9MtxQ&t=111m10s

Shibu 5ji was interesting, with a piece on Meisei and the lodgings of the new Nishiiwa-beya at its first Nagoya-basho - unfortunately so far extremely low res only: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u63VdpOnPFk&t=51m2s

Inhashi and also Asojima have opened a new possibility for us to watch sumo programs with FujiTV.live - I've put the info into the tips and tools thread.

The best pre-basho programs:

022 BS Japan, Jul. 8th 01:00 a.m. Sportsウォッチャー, a TV Tokyo special about Chiyomaru, the heya and the oyakata, starting at 4min, about 27m

023 BS Fuji, Jul. 1st 14:00-15:25 『感動!大相撲がっぷり総見』Gappuri soken with ex-Kotonishiki

also not bad:

002 NHK Eテレ Jul. 4th 18:55- 19:25「未知たび!」▽「行司」編 about (young) gyoji

While scanning through the FujiTV.live programs, I found a  film about the story of Fusanishiki till Natsu 1957, with himself, other rikishi and oyakata and a few actors enacting real sumo, real scenes mixed with drama scenes - NSK cooperation, released March 1958, when there still was the dream of getting to yokozuna.

046 衛星劇場 Jul. 9th 08:30-10:00  土俵物語 Dohyo Monogatari

repeat on the 21st and 26th: http://www.eigeki.com/series?id=17200&category_id=4&ym=201807

info about the film https://eiga.com/movie/72806/

The feeble son of a gyoji dreams of a career in sumo, as Fusanishiki at last makes it to a bout officiated by his father, sanyaku gyoji Shikimori Kindayu, loses it on day 11 Natsu 57,  but gets another chance on day 14 and in the end receives the kachi-nanori from his father on the dohyo.

Recently a sort of history program, explaining why the Japanese love wide shows (37% of all the broadcast time of the week are wide shows), mentioned the ranking of the first half of this year: no surprise, all the scandals around Taka had the most overall time ( youtube-dl  video.9tsu.com/videos/view?vid=131963 - at 1:20:30)

 

This program is some extension of the wide shows: TBS Bakuho! The Friday 爆報!THEフライデー - always at 19h

Like the wide shows I listed above for Mitakeumi, it disappears usually very quickly - the one from last Friday, the 20th, was slightly sumo related, all about the empress of wide show turmoil, hyogi-in kai ex-top Ikenobo, seen as the natural enemy of Taka. But of course sumo is just a small part of what was presented of her life - she also was guest in the studio. http://biz-journal.jp/2018/07/post_24143.html

Can still be seen with FujiTV.live, and downloaded from 9tsu: youtube-dl  video.9tsu.com/videos/view?vid=133442

Starts at 24:45m.

More interesting should be next week: a scandal about a fraud 28 years ago, a loss of 500 million yen for ex-ozeki Kiyokuni - the okami-san appears on the show

BS11 InsideOut with Kyokudozan and ex-NHK Sugiyama was again after the basho - and it had not much to do with that basho - 80% the old stories of Chiyonofuji https://vod.bs11.jp/video/insideout/zJv6iF/ - VOD for 2 weeks (downloadable)

CloseupGendai+ about Mitakeumi

likely won't last long - 9tsu usually lasts for a year: youtube-dl  video.9tsu.com/videos/view?vid=133695

Today Jul. 26th on 005 FujiTV (the real one on the .live one), in the Prime News, 16:50-19H, a special about Arashio-beya, with the focus on: - how the okami-san managed to make the heya successful, - the Onami brothers, - but no cats. Starts at 84m, till 102m, several CMs. At the beginning a glimpse of the training of kyujo Sokokurai as the heya top, but it looked like quite old footage.

A story for a movie - a gang pretending to be koenkai related, takes away the money from selling the old Isegahama-beya premises - forced/tricked into divorce by child kidnapping/brain washing by slander in the tabloids with fake news - the gangsters caught in the end and the couple remarried, but the 500 million are gone. The kidnapped son is now a rakugo storyteller, the okami-san runs the sumo chaya Kiyokuni.

I didn't notice anything of that story at the time, though I was in Japan and also then had kept an eye on the tabloids.

Many videos of this on YT - many will disappear quickly. It was the top subject, but later on at about 24m. This video starts with it, without the first 30s.

BS日テレ (Fuji TVLive Channel 017) aired the second part of a program of a 'private/personal sumo heya story' that featured Naruto and Tokitsukaze beya.  The next episode of the series will be broadcast on the same channel next week (Sept.8 19:00 JST) with Tomozuna beya's story.  Plenty of Kyokutaisei from what I've seen in the preview.  Today's showed a lot of past degeiko footage mostly of Yutakayama, some Toyonoshima, Torakio, and ex-Kotooshu as they interact with each other/local supporters.  Also addressed hardships of dealing with injuries - Yukatayama's right knee and Toyonoshima's ruptured left Achilles as well as his right calf muscle.  Naruto understanding injury of his deshi, Torakio's right elbow. 

Updated link with commercials edited out:

It is pretty easy to download videos from Fuji TV Live.  Once it is available as VOD replay, while on full screen, I simply right clicked onto it and then clicked  'download'.

Not so easy to get now: we're running out of channels quickly - next gone from FujiTV.live are the NiTere and TBS channels, about 10 in all. Gappuri Soken is on earlier vanished BS Fuji anyway, so likely we'll get to see it 2 months after the basho as usual

It was mostly about Torakio this time and filmed much recently than the BS日テレ program with Tokitsukaze beya.  
https://youtu.be/gDSJBVgUawM
Here they are filmed at the Nagoya site at the beautiful and newly built keikoba (air conditioned!).  Last year the heya trained under a tent at the same location spot.  They also attended a joint training camp with a local wrestling school in Niigata last month.  Both ex Kotooshu and Torakio seen training in modern wrestling with the students.

Yokozuna monogatari (by mistake?) posted Gappuri soken for this basho and skipped that for Nagoya: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_zv3m-DMlk

mostly a Nagoya-basho digest and a report on Asahiyama-beya, no special rikishi-corner - Amakaze dropped down, Ikioi and Takekaze likely have other things on their mind

Yesterday a nice Ryogoku special was aired - a tour in the vicinity of the kokugikan with Mainoumi http://www4.nhk.or.jp/goto-chi/x/2018-09-18/21/25363/1187147/

This NHK series is only available on MiomioTV, ForJoyTV has now lost all channels and is virtually dead - downloaded VODs can still be viewed with the app and registration still works for that.

Fortunately, MioMio now can be downloaded smoothly with youtube-dl - it used to take days to start a connection.

In testing an updated application, I managed to get the latest Tochinoshin program.  Although it is very butchered and fragmented, it is in a playlist to make it somewhat easier to watch.  Hopefully Akinomaki/someone? can find and post a continuous video.

I nice piece about Otake-beya with oxygen masks at night at a program about how to improve your health by better sleep

Sleep apnea is apparently one of sumo's occupational diseases - today on Bakuho!The Friday Shibatayama-beya is shown at sleep using CPAP oxygen masks - with integrated internet monitoring function by a hospital. Oonokuni while active had suffered from sleep apnoea and uses the service to improve the health of his deshi.
