thank u

Thank you for the videos wish to see more in july

thanks for watching - see you in July!

cool - thanks for watching!

It's possible that they were focusing on his mother since she was alone watching him, since his father was killed last year in Mongolia in a traffic accident. At least they didn't ask "What would you like to tell your Dad about today?" or something like that.

I hope so! I want a strong Asa back!

new banzuke (rankings) will not be out until late June.

there is no joke... the commentator was gonna make a joke about the PM, but thought better of it and didn't.

Jason,

Jason thank you very much... it's a awesome basho... as i am a mongolian i feel great about all my mongolian sumo wrestlers... u make me feel them...

Harumafuji go for third Mongolian Yokozuna, Yeah!!!! God loves number three. Thanks again Jason.

lol, I saw this on TV while studying. Had no idea what it was about, but that last battle was intense! Since coming to Japan, I`ve really started getting into sumo. I look forward to returning to the states and still being able to watch it till July because of you!

Jason, over 15 years since I last saw a sumo tournament and you give me THIS??? What a wonderfull tournament, you just cant ask for more exitement in the very end!!! Thanks a lot man, really, really enjoyed it. Would be great if in a couple of days you could tell us how the standings turn out for the next tournament. Again thanks a lot and hope to see you soon. Regards, Gonzosan

good for him, he deserved it. Thanks for posting these videos Jason. Greatly appreciated. Can't wait for the next basho.

Thank you so much for sumo clips from this tournament. I enjoy your comments and screams! I look forward to July. Best wishes.

I'm impressed how modestly he was behaving even after he won.

Thanks very much Jason for all the videos and hard works. I know you enjoy when you doing this , but still ...you know.. By the way i'm mongolian and i was able to watch it in my mongolian language, but it was more fun to watch it on your chanel .. thanks again ..but i am little bit sad because of Asa and his injury ...what do you think will he be able to recover all the injury and come back on july like an old time Asa ?

*gasp!* Even Sum

He speaks fine. The news had more of the interview (which was cut off on this broadcast) and he spoke more - he was kinda being funny by only saying "I'm happy" during the first part - he has a reputation for being taciturn. But yeah - that's just silly - he speaks Japanese just fine.

Thanks Jason!!!!

Billy - thanks for watching and I'll see you in July for more sumo!

yep - I'll still be making vids over at Myargonauts, and I'll be back in July for more SUMO. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Steve - see you in July!

I think Harumafuji has a brighter future ahead of him than Kotooshu, but the pressure will be huge in Nagoya in July for him to repeat. If he can do it, then there has to be serious talk about making him a yokozuna.

yeah - someone else mentioned that - sorry about that. I'll hold off next time. :)

not sure really. Aso has been a very wishy-washy PM so far, and made some gaffes while public speaking, but I know of nothing recent. The one commentator that was making those remarks is a bit of a tool actually - he knows about sumo, but is really arrogant. Luckily he's only on occasionally.

Hey Jason, thanks for all the Sumo videos. I also have a question. Do you know what the commentators were talking about when they were wondering if they should crack jokes about the Prime Minister? Is there some scandal with the PM or something? Just curious.

Thanks very much Jason for bringing sumo to YouTube. This basho was great! Stay in Japan and become the next Dave Wiggins!

Harumafuji deserved to win the title for sticking with it to the end, but Hakuho gave it away when he lost to a very inconsistent Kotooshu. It's been a tough year for Hakuho, going 43-2 and have just 1 title to show for it.

The title kinda spoiled the previous vid. It's all good. =)

Thanks Jason. Amazing tournament and amazing entertainment. Keep it alive Buddy. We need english version of sume tournament. Hope we will find your recordings of sumo in July. Keep it up

i missed the action by day 10 i guess... but it was a good job! thx for sharing J!

That lady that is translating as hes answering is amazing. I can't imagine a more challenging task. She does it at the same time as he's speaking! Amazing. I thought Harumafuji's couldnt speak japanese when he kept just saying Ureshii desu but he was just being funny lol.

Ditto from me. Well said Steve, and THANK YOU Jason! :)

Ahhh! First off, many congratulations to Harumafuji! Amazing performance! This has been a great tournament! Second, thank you Jason for your dedication! I would be looking up statistics on the official Grand Sumo homepage still if not for you! Thank you so much! See you in July!

Congrats to Harumafuji!

日馬富士 、おめでとうございます！ Thanks for your videos Jason, this tournament was my first real foray into sumo and let me tell you, I enjoyed the ride. I'll be tuning back in for the July Basho, but in the mean time, I hope you'll have time to make some more videos for your other

Harumafuji did great
