Let's talk about the January tournament here! Unfortunately, I think it will be another easy win for Asashoryu, and I don't think Kotoshu will have a very good tournament. I look for Hakuho to do well though, with around 12 wins. The first day is today, so I will be staying awake until 4 am to watch on the computer!
I ate chanko when i went to the Kokugikan, but I don't rmember what flavour it was.
I guess you are talking about Asashoryu? I don't like him, but I really respect him. He is the most dominant rikishi I have ever seen.
Living in Canada, I use the Nihon Sumo Kyokai's live webstream from their site, sumo.goo.ne.jp . It shows only Makuuchi, which is from around 2am-4am for me:( i can also go to banzuke.com to download replays the day after the matches.
