themistyseas 242 Posted September 14, 2022 2 hours ago, Akinomaki said: He only has invited about 250 so far to have a cut and hopes for 200 more from the general public. As side program while the people wait till he returns with a new haircut, a sekitori talk-show and singing by brother Chiyomaru (and more) is planned He obviously doesn't expect a sell-out Bit of a shame they've not been able to PR this with a little more lead time. I think it's the kind of thing he definitely would be able to sell to the foreign sumo fan that's not going to be able to get tickets or afford to go to, say, Hakuho's event. With Japan seemingly opening up at long last, I bet he could probably sell a couple dozen extra tickets by roping in a certain popular secondary market ticketing site that caters to foreigners. I know this smacks of the usual "foreign sumo fans overstating their importance" but while intai-zumo is a popular ticket category for tourists, I think definitely 20-30 hardcore fans (SF people, bloggers, podcast folks, youtube folks, other fans) with "participate in danpatsushiki" on the bucket list would do it at this price point. If he's only expecting to gross ¥16.5M ($115K USD at current exchange rate) on the event anyway, minus costs of "a soft drink and a light meal" and whatever is needed to run it, seems like an additional ¥600K-800K might be welcome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sumojoann 1,268 Posted October 2, 2022 SF member egparis18 posted 2 amazing videos from the Sokokurai danpatsu-shiki. The first one shows all 3 of the Onami brothers together on the dohyo, all wearing their kesho-mawashi and bowing to the crowd. The second video shows the bout between Wakatakakage and Wakamotoharu (the announcer mentioned "ketteisen"). Brotherly pride on the line. Great videos!
