Unfortunately, I do not know enough Japanese. Why did Torakio quit?

All the best for Naruto's other deshi though. The stable has grown, it is doing well, and pretty soon we'll see Naruto sekitori.

Only Naruto's official comment of course: Torakio couldn't win (anymore) against his (new) stablemates, saw not enough progress and gave up on an ozumo career - he returned to Bulgaria.

Today Chiko-chan as usual scolded the people on the panel who didn't know enough - today also about sumo. After sumo maybe the best program on NHK, and now both together: the focus is on the time schedule of the basho day - how to have it end at 18h - actually the aimed for scheduled end is 17:55h. An expert from the sumo museum explains details and history of the schedule, and Shibatayama the techniques to control the schedule bout per bout.

10min., starting at 12:20min in the video http://www.miomio.tv/watch/cc475198/

Last night, NHK had a 2019 sumo year in review panel discussion.  Panelists were Kitanofuji, Mainoumi, Takakeisho, and Enho.

Highlights  (paraphrased from memory):

-Takakeisho on what he gained from his tumultuous year:

"I'm grateful for the knee injury. I had been trying to expand my repertoire to include Yotsu, but the injury was a sign from above to not veer from what got me here. I'm going to stick with Oshi-zumo and prove that a strictly Oshi wrestler can become a Yokozuna."

-Takakeisho on how he'll approach his upcoming first meeting with Enho:

"I won't say."

Enho, when asked the same:

"So far, when visualizing wrestling Takekeisho, I've yet to see myself beating him."

-Kitanofuji and Mainoumi on who they see as the next Ozeki:

Asanoyama. Both believe he has the size, strength, and stability to reach the highest rank.

-Asanoyama, when asked about how he sees the next year unfolding:

"I want to take the next step and prove that Yotsu-zumo is the strongest sumo.

Takakeisho, upon hearing that:

"I wasn't really thinking about Asanoyama, but now that he said that, I'm going to have to show him that my Oshi is stronger than his Yotsu!"

-Enho, after finishing 7-8 makekoshi in his first basho at Makuuchi:

"Hakuho took me under his wing and put me through the grinder in training. Then he told me: 'If you don't kachikoshi, I'm going to retire.'" (Mission accomplished.)

-Hakuho, on Enho's future prospects:

"It all comes down to keiko. If he trains diligently and thinks about sumo 24/7 365, a yusho won't be far away."

Enho, responding to that prediction:

"One day I'd like to yusho, but right now I can't even imagine doing so."

Mainoumi in the ending sequence added a "how about at least going for a maemitsu grip"  - same I had in mind for him, since it is considered an oshi technique.

On 25/01/2019 at 13:58, Akinomaki said:

Takakeisho just needs better skills to free himself from a grip again and resume thrusting, or get a maemitsu grip and drive the opponent out on the belt

Kitanofuji scolded Mainoumi for that remark: "Keep-quiet with uncalled-for comments" http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20191230/sum19123008000001-n1.html

videos of the program are on YT youtube.search_query=大相撲+2019+12+29&sp=CAISBBABGAI%3D

on MioMio and the best so far is on Bilibili https://search.bilibili.com/all?keyword=大相撲%2B2019&order=totalrank&duration=3&tids_1=0

To which Takakeishou replied: "Maemitsu? I've never done that in my life.. I'll have to study that.."  Kitanofuji also said the first time he saw Enhou- "I thought it was a girl.. He looks like a big girl. Is that a sumo wrestler? This small guy will never make it to Makuuchi," he said back then. Enhou smiled awkwardly in the studio. "But he has become strong," summed Kitanofuji.. Then they showed a clip where Kitanofuji said after Enhou's first kachikoshi that he is a presence now,  to which Enhou replied "I'm seeing this for the first time.." The announcer was shocked. "Don't you watch  our sumo broadcasts?" he asked."No.." he answered.  "Don't you think you could learn something from watching??" asked an incredulous Kitanofuji.

What is the Japanese for "OK Boomer"?

Another highlight (again paraphrased):

They showed a clip of a very  young (elementary school aged) Enho wrestling and losing to an opponent about twice his size, and then slamming his fist down in the dirt in frustration and disgust. Asked about, it he said:

"I just hated to lose."

When asked if he was aware that his opponents were so much bigger than him he said:

"I didn't care. I just wanted to crush them all."

Yesterday Hayashiya Kikuo paid a visit to his (rating) enemy sumo - Shoten's TV ratings drop on Sundays during the basho (they are on the last 30 minutes of makuuchi). He was at Takadagawa-beya,  watched keiko of Ryuden and Kagayaki, and competed against 4 rikishi in an ogiri (the shoten main rakugo part), for which Shodai and Shohozan joined. Shohozan won on the contest of wits https://www.bilibili.com/video/av81628712

MioMio is gone, apparently for good. The search database still works, but the videos that you find are no longer there. All video links here to the site are obsolete now. From now on it's basically only Bilibili or YT.

vast.miomio.tv is an old mirror site, no videos accessible.

SportsWatcher was one of those for which I depended on MioMio - fortunately the new year special starting with 4min. from Naruto-beya appeared on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9MGdxsypQM&t=90s

Interesting tidbit from Ishiura on Sanma's New Year Special:

-Prior to entering sumo he spent two years as an exchange student in Australia, where he pursued mixed martial arts. 

-Days before leaving, he had an opportunity to meet and drink with Hakuho, who was recruiting his friend, during which Hakuho casually invited him to also join.

-While in Australia, he auditioned and was cast for a role in the X-Men film series. 

-However, he recalled Hakuho's words and decided instead to return to Japan and give sumo a go.

-Upon his return, he asked Hakuho if he remembered him. Hakuho said he did not. Nonetheless, he was able to enter Miyagino-beya as Hakuho's disciple, and the rest is history.

I thought that over the new year holidays, he might have watched that film he wasn't in, and that got him into a violent mood.
