Rikishi and oyakata commercial activities

[Akinomaki 40,359]

This might be on the rise, so I split it from the other activities.
Especially because this one is no extra activity by Kotoshogiku - Softbank Mobile simply was allowed to (ab)use real scenes - that's why I don't put it in the off-topic CM thread.
Kotoshogiku being asked about his weight and the odd voice of the Giga-chan CM character answers "200 Giga", the Koto-Bauer turns into the Giga-Bauer.

the information about the CM: http://www.softbank.jp/mobile/tvcm_media/cm/detail/?id=kotoshogiga_30&caption=0

Especially since Softbank has a new service to show the (whole) basho, I'm closely looking at everything that comes from them.

The new new CM thread has mainly old CMs, newly posted on YouTube - the really new ones often disappear again soon.
The Kotoshogiga one for Softbank

got another soccer one on air from today. http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/sumo/20160616-OHT1T50275.html

Kotoshogigaku was at the presentation event and did a KotoBauer performance

and took part in the dance of the new members of the Softbank CM family Ｓｏｕｌ　Ｂｒｏｔｈｅｒｓ　ｆｒｏｍ　ＥＸＩＬＥ　ＴＲＩＢＥ

New members of the Softbank CM family Ｓｏｕｌ　Ｂｒｏｔｈｅｒｓ　ｆｒｏｍ　ＥＸＩＬＥ　ＴＲＩＢＥ

performed some dance at the Softbank event and Kotoshogiku took part.

Looks like Choo Choo Train

[Akinomaki 40,359]

And here is the Choo Choo Train with Kotoshogiku (only at the start of the video)

The event was for the general start (for non-Softbank users as well) of the Sportsnavi app that now shows all of ozumo - apparently only on smart phones and tablets so far. They mentioned the Nagoya basho in the end.

I have to check further to find more about the state of the Sportsnavi service for the whole world.

[Akinomaki 40,359]

The whole Softbank event: Kotoshogiku appears at 7:30

[Akinomaki 40,359]

Not the usual type of CM - apparently Sato Pharmaceuticals is a sponsor of Miyagino-beya and the unofficial fan-site of their wake-up drink Yunker publishes videos from asa-geiko and more, with the rikishi using the product

A new Endo CM for Nagatanien: the CM campaign this time is not for Endo goods, but a set of cards of famous ukiyoe The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō, which Nagatanien used from 1965 to 1997 - single cards are in the product, 1000 full sets of 55 cards can be won. http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/sumo/20161111-OHT1T50032.html

Endo has a time-slip into the ukiyoe world - the CM start is on the 19th.

How long does that protection last before the room(s) need to be repainted?

As long as a sekiwake's career?

My question would be: How many licks does the toddler need to go belly up?

On the event of Yoshikaze's photo show

On 1/8/2016 at 16:45, Akinomaki said:

The first time that this appeared in the sumo news of the Japanese papers: A sponsored article.
And who does again PR for his sponsor? - Yoshikaze for Magniflex, after the "Thanks to Magniflex, please write it!"

to the press last year day 3 of the Aki basho, when he defeated Kakuryu after having beaten Hakuho the day before.
He has an adviser contract with Magniflex since last summer, so his message in this article is: "After I encountered the wonderful bedding of Magniflex, the quality of my sumo changed" and so on. http://www.sankei.com/sports/news/160108/spo1601080001-n1.html

And Magniflex is happy about the good results of their (literally) kanban rikishi and has opened a photo exhibition "Soul rikishi Yoshikaze" 魂kororo no rikishi Yoshikaze-zeki - and his work for Magniflex is really relaxing

an overview of his ads etc. for Magniflex - actually there is more Yoshikaze content on their twitter than on his own o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

I almost didn't recognise him in some of the pics with two eyes open and neither one black!

Endo's heyamates Daieisho & Daishomaru are also getting some CM time, but it has yet to debut on Nagatanien's official internet channels.

Chiyomaru has got to be the most adorable rikishi there is, though.

[rhyen 1,834]

One wonders why Chiyonofuji did not try and monetize his popularity much earlier.
