Kintamayama 45,142 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Off topic but on- I was sure I wouldn't be able to post the matches today because we had a gig playing for the visiting Canadian PM and with all the security I thought we would leave early but I pressed the send button just as the van rolled in to pick me up..,. We got him on stage and he sang three songs. On CNN now.. One may share one's experiences with one's fellow sumo fans, right?

I hope you didn't miss the chance to show him how to do matawari and shiko and to convince him to side with us on the campaign for the preservation of the endangered "Live Sumo Feed"?

Come on everyone, this basho should show you more than ever that we need to support those that do the hard work to make it easy for us to watch our sumo. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koorifuu 1,001 Posted January 23, 2014 To be fair I wanted to donate something, but I fear the amount I could be spending at this crucial economics time + no-income university student away from home + using up parents' reserves would be more of a joke than exactly a token of appreciation.

Even the smallest amount is excellent-I'm not doing this for the money- I love doing it, so the amount really isn't the issue here. Thanks for the thought.

Jejima 1,385 Posted January 23, 2014 Yep, it's time again for me to remind you that donations are accepted at http://www.dichne.com/donate.html Well, I had a problem with paypal several years back, and have not used it since. I have just reactivated my account, but due to not being able to change my billing address to Hong Kong (UK is (for some reason) unchangeable) it won't recognise my debit card. Any alternatives to paypal? (E.g. PM your snail mail address, and I can send you some US dollars (if safe?) once I get back from Chinese New Year holiday...)

Ponshun 4 Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks again for the uploads everyone! Kinta, very cool to see you on stage with my prime minister! I'm not his biggest fan, but I had already heard about his crooning in Israel on the CBC. He's lucky to share the stage with you! BTW, I was happy to make a small donation to support your dedicated work for the global sumo community. Thanks again! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate myself every time I do this, but I spend hours on this..so.. Thanks so much for all your hard work and the passion you put into it! I enjoy your daily digestive videos digests with all those hilarious jokes and observations even more now, since the old boys at the NSK showed their own stlye of humor - which is as nonexistent as their international marketing & PR skills - by chasing most of us away from their "dohyo-webcam-with-audio" service just before the start of the basho. I was happy to donate a few bucks, which the NSK expected to collect from me on a daily basis. (Neener, neener...) Thanks again Kinta and keep on throwing those nifty jokes - or should I call them i-pun-zeoi? Edited January 24, 2014 by kuroimori 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
