For those in Japan, mark your calendars for Saturday at 1:30pm on BSFuji TV. Asahiyama-oyakata will join Karahashi Yumi to discuss sumo. Though there will be no Natsu Basho, there is clearly A LOT to discuss, including the results of Haru, Asanoyama’s Ozeki promotion and the pandemic’s impact.

Do you know if this show will be broadcast on NHK tv in America?
Thank you!
Probaby not Zee. NHK tends to have their schedule set a month in advance and also probably wouldn’t share a show with Fuji tv. It would be like NBC showing a special they made on PBS. But this Friday, it looks like the Grand Sumo show will be on NHK World at either 4:30am, 12:30pm or 6:30pm EST. They will
“review the Grand Sumo spring tournament held without spectators. It also looks at the current situation of sumo after the cancellation of the May tournament.”
Thanks Drew – I’ll look forward to the Friday Grand Sumo review!
