We appreciate you for watching SUMO PRIME TIME. This time we covered the Sumo Fan Festival 2022 which took place on October 6 & 7 at Kokugikan in Tokyo. It was so nice to see the fans having a wonderful time at the festival and hats off to all the rikishi and oyakata for organizing such a magnificent event. For those who weren't able to attend the festival this time, it would be great if you can do so the next time because SUMO PRIME TIME will be there along with the rikishi and stablemasters to welcome and greet you all. In the meantime, please stay tuned to the channel as we'll be back with more updates and shows leading up to the November tournament. See you soon!
I envy those who were able to participate in the event. I love SUMO💖

SUMO PRIME TIME
☝️
So jealous!!! Wish I was there but I don’t have the means☹️ huge fan from TEXAS USA!!!!! TOCHINOSHIN FAN!!!!
From Texas too!! :DD
Thank you! I had no idea there was a fan festival planned. With out this UA-cam channel I would never have discovered this part of Sumo tradition. The fans look like they are really having a great time. They are so excited. The chance to be near the rikishi is a great opportunity.
Oh, I so wish that I could have been there. I would love to have seen the singing performances, and I would have tried all the chanko. I would have gotten as many pictures and autographs as possible. I hope the success of the event prompts the JSA to hold them more often, at least every couple of years if not annually.
Hiro, your shiko has improved since you got instruction from Oyama oyakata. That's some Abi-esque elevation!
People often say that sumo is secretive, closed-off, and inaccessible, and I suppose that in some ways, it is. However, I cannot think of another sport where there is so much direct interaction between fans and athletes, not to mention coaches, referees, and whatever the yobidashi are ("ushers" doesn't do them justice). Playing chess with Miyagino-san is like playing with Michael Jordan. The rikishi seemed to be having a good time, too, or if they weren't they faked it really well.
Is there any chance that the JSA will make some of that merchandise available to foreign fans? I want one of those tee-shirts. It would also be great if they opened the fan club to people outside Japan. It's not closed technically, but all the information is in Japanese.
I'm looking forward to the next installment of Sumo Prime Time!
I agree with you, that would of been fun, I'm hoping to make it over to one of the next couple of basho. I just received some actual basho merch from big sumo fan (2 tegata towels and sumo techniques foldout) in case your looking for more sumo items.
@@Normandy1944 I have bought from BigSumoFan. They're a good source of sumo stuff, except they sell out of things I want. 🙂 I hope they will get some of the new fan towels with the rikishi likenesses. I also wish they had the full-sized fans. I have a couple of the small ones, but it's not the same.
@@Normandy1944 I have a couple shikona towels and a couple tegata (prints) from them, love them. Bigsumofan is a great source for some awesome merch.
Agree! I'd feel a bit out of the action not being able to speak japanese but i love the sport and the rikishi so much that I'd still love to go. Maybe next time I'll know more than a couple of words in the language.
That SUMO PRIME TIME mid-salt-throw hit different
Seeing Teru do the Sumo Prime Time bit almost feels like whiplash! I know it's a little obligation on the part of the rikishi, but it's funny and almost wild to see the big stoic faces of sumo doing the line and gesture
I doubt that it would be an obligation. It is probably very much appreciated, but if they were obliged, then you would think that they would only have the most popular Rikishi doing it. To me it seems like they're taking anyone that they can get.
@@jornavyr2459 I think it is an obligation. All rikishi basically have two jobs. Doing actual sumo is job #1 for everybody. For lower rankers, job #2 is to cook, clean, and wait on the sekitori and coaches. Sekitori don't have to do anything menial. For them, job #2 is public relations. That means doing videos, photo shoots, tours, events, New Year's bean throwing, product promotions, and whatever else the JSA's PR department wants them to do. The thing is, I think most of them enjoy at least some of this work.
This event looked so wonderful. I am particularly touched by the woman who got to try on the gyoji outfit, you can tell how much the experience meant to her. I hope they continue this tradition!
It's the power of the human body at its height but it's also not a contest of destruction.
It's a test of strength, skill and agility but the goal isn't to render your opponent unconscious
Wow, this event actually looks awesome. You don't really get things like this is the west, where professional athletes will willingly mingle with the people as the Rikishi are doing here. I hope the JSA keeps this going. Everyone there seemed to be having a wonderful time. I can't imagine why you haven't held the event for 17 years.
Wow, this looks like a great chance to actually get to know the rikishi a bit. I'd definitely be up for a round of cards with Wakamotoharu :)
I’ll take the chess with Hakuko😂!!!!
What a fantastic event! This should happen every year.
A fan from Philippines i love SUMO SPORT and i loved SUMO PRIMETIME :) arigato Morita sang ! :)
wow that is so amazing that you guys did that for the fans. I cant even imagine American sports doing anything like this
The rikishi shaped chess pieces are the most beautiful thing i have ever seen
looked like samurai to me. the ones Hakuho was playing with?
Small Teru plays some mean table tennis!
He does. I think he rather enjoyed having a "civilian" opponent who could actually play.
Also, he is adorable.
I'm so jealous! What a great event. Thank you so much for covering it so all of us who couldn't make it get to see a little bit of it.
This looked like so much fun! Hopefully this event will become a more common thing, and more fans from around the world can go and interact with the rikishi!
That is so amazing! I wish I could've been there to interact with all those rikishi up close and personal :D
I totally would have geeked out if I was there!!!!!
I would love for this to come to Australia. Looks like a lot of fun!
Wow!.....I wish I could have come to this! A huge sumo fan from Anchorage Alaska would have been glad to make the trip!
Such a fun video! I am so envious of those fans. I wanna go to Sumo-Con too 😭
I actually want to cry they look like they’re having so much fun
Thanks for the coverage, this was a blast watching!
Sumo is attractive because the Rikishi are polite. They offer to help their opponent back into the dohyo after chucking him out.
im from germany and i will be visiting japan and the kokugikan next may. man i would have loved to go to such an event.
as always great content sumo prime time
Will you be attending the May basho?
@@LauraJdogmom yes i hope so
This brought a huge smile to my face. I love seeing this stuff. May the fans recruit others thanks to this experience!
I love Sumo even more. Thank you Sumo Prime Time! -- Love from the U.S.😍❤❤❤
Oh man, I wish I was there. Looked so fun! All my favorite rikishi were there too. ❤
Hiro's commentary is the best part of sumo!
Thanks so much for this video; I've been trying to piece together the events of the day from various UA-cam videos but this one is the best! I would plan a vacation to Japan (or elsewhere) around a sumo fan festival like this!
That looks fantastic! Thank you for the coverage
This is amazing guys! Hiro, you're doing a fantastic job helping popularize all aspects of this great Japanese tradition, please keep up the great work and tell those guys at the Sumo Association that the world wants more of this! Greetings from Texas!!
Sumo prime time ☝
Man this was cool. I hope I get to go to a future one of these someday.
This looks so great. I wish one day to come to Japan to see a sumo festival
LOVE the videos! Can you make one about the the route the sumo wrestler takes from when they arrive in the building to when they exit? Especially when they are 3-4 matches from their match. I see them sitting on the sides, moving from each edge, walking out, and then coming back in... Can you explain the route?
That is a great idea for a video.
japanise culture is just WONDERFULL... love to japanise people and all SUMO FAN :) greetings from Italy 😍💗
How wonderful- I’ve been a sumo fan for 40 years, so attending a grand sumo tournament and a jungyo tour have been on my bucket list - this behind the scenes fan event now also is on my bucket list! Such a wonderful idea and everyone including the rikishi looked to be thoroughly enjoying themselves
SUMO!!!! PRIME TIME!!!
Wow, this is awesome! Thanks sumo prime time!
I love this channel
I noticed my man, Takamisakari, was overseeing the salt throwing. How appropriate.
Oh, man, this looks awesome. I’d have loved the chance to beat Hakuho at chess.
Brilliant video. We international sumo fans absolutely need to do a meetup at an event such as this !!
Wow i would have loved to be there. I love sumo and would have loved to try some nabe ❤
best channel of the Year
Fantastic event!! I'll join it next year with my daughter :)
I wish I could say "Sumo Prime Time"
Would love to see this come to the USA!
That would have be awesome to attend.
1:07 I always like seeing Takamisakari (now I know his name thanks to this video) as a ringside judge. He always looks pleasant and interested in the matches.
This looks like amazing fun! I def want to go!
This was so cool to see! I would love to attend one day.
I enjoyed this so much! Wish I could have participated in this festival.
I love seeing the wrestlers in such a relaxed state. What a wonderfull human beings.
All the better to see just how gargantuan many of these men are compared to spectators. I also hope Teru is enjoying himself as best he can with those knees.
The content keeps improving! Great stuff!
Teru has taken the Yokozuna mantle beautifully. I hope he can stay healthy and compete as long as his body lets him.
This looks fantastic. However, I must say buying tickets on JSA's official site is really pain in the arse for non-Japanese speaking sumo fans. I still can't figure out how to fill the bloody form 😂
Oh wow, this looks so freakin fun!!!
Awesome! Yes! Send the Yokozuna and Rikishi on a world tour!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a great content!!
I’ve only been a fan of sumo for about 3 years but I got hooked big time. I watch every tournament intently. I rooted for Hakuho but unfortunately by the time I became interested he seemed to be hurt more than he was healthy. I started following sumo right after Terunofuji made it back to makuuchi and quickly became a fan of his. I love it that he’s now Yokozuna. I’m now following Asanoyama’s progress back to the top and have predicted he will be the next Yokozuna. Anyway, I loved this video and it struck me that American sports could use some marketing like this. Have face to face interaction between the fans and the athletes like this. Let the fans get to know the athletes are real people just like them. The fans would love it and I believe our sports would see a surge in ticket sales and merchandise revenue.
Looks like fun!
What a great event! I hope to attend with my family some day.
Great content. Keep up the great work, Sumo Prime Time‼️
All I can say is WOW!!!
Oh my!! This sure was fun. More behind the scenes please. Thank you Sumo Prime Time. ✌
Fantastic to see this all.
SUMO 😃🤗
This is so cool! I hope I can go sometime!
Wow this was so cool!
It was nice to see so many people having fun
I would have loved to be there
Great event! Congrats 👍

amazing !!!!!!
thanks for sharing :)
Amazing video thank you
Loved this! I'd attend in a heartbeat!
This was really neat to see and looks like a great time to be there. 😁
Amazing video! How many times per year is this event held?
Great stuff! Been really enjoying all the uploads and behind the scenes stuff. Makes me love sumo even more. Keep up the great work with the channel!! 💪🙏🏼
I wish I could go to Japan and see this! All those years that I worked there, I was never able to attand events like this :(
This video was so cool !!! I really hope I have a chance to attend this festival in the future, I just hope they don't wait 17 years until the next one !!! Thanks for this awesome video Hiro !!!!
Geez what a wonderful event! Wish I were there!
Me encanta el sumo .Amo a varios :Ryuden ,Takakeisho,Mitakeumi,Hakuho,etc❤️❤️❤️😍🙏🇨🇱
I don't trust pepole that don't like Takayasu. The man Is Amazing both in fighting and as a person
We call him Papayasu for a reason, no? 🥰
@@malapertfourohfour2112 exactly. I love him as if he was a relative of mine
Our beloved Papayasu!
@@malapertfourohfour2112 I call him that because he always looks like someone's disapproving dad.
It would have been awesome to be there for that event hopefully they hold it regularly in the future and maybe sell the tickets in advance online so that foreigners can make plans to attend. I would love atten one in the future!
So much Knowledge!!!
What a great event!!!! I would love to come to Japan and go to this festival!!!
This looks like fun day.
Being able to attend a fan festival like this in the future is definitely on my bucket list!
Finally the Sumo Association doing a serious step to bring Sumo fans abroad good content.
This has to be on my bucket list now, I wanna go so bad!
Super films ! :)
Having been able to attend Sakura Matsuri in person here in the USA, I would love to have an opportunity to attend this kind of festival some day. It would be awesome to meet rikishi in person and be able to partake in the various rituals that make sumo so unique. Really enjoyed this episode!
That was 👍
takamisakari！
Ok, now I have a new dream.
