I usually prefer to understand what I'm listening to, but in this case it feels good just float along without full understanding. Of what she's singing about, or what harmonies they're playing. I'm pretty sure some of it's in 4/4 time.

Interesting that the two sekiwake are up the top of the table, and the two komusubi are near the bottom. It's very cool to see Atamifuji and Fujinokawa making themselves comfortable at such lofty ranks.

They're posting these the same day now? Sweeeet. Kinda looked like K took a headbutt to the side of his head too.

They have a "live" 50 minute version of the second half of day 8 up on the app right now that shows a lot of angles of that move at around the 24 minute mark.

It looked to me like Kirishima made a mistake in going for that hatakikomi without having his feet in the right place for it. If he was half a step to his left before starting that he wouldn't have lost his balance and could have won from there.

Trying to figure out how Ichiyamamoto was unable to push Ura out there. My best guess goes like this: Ura's left is around Ichi's body making Ichi think thats where ne needs to push. Ura does the Ura, bending back into an impossible shape on the bales, shifting his weight to Ura's right, where Ichi isn't pushing, and sneaks his left arm across kinda like a makikae, so he can dive forward under Ichi's push. Grabs the arm, pulls and spins, and I just about fall off the couch.

Onosato looking more like a yokozuna today.

Aonishiki Atamifuji was amazing. I didn't see any sign of Ao-kun protecting his injured ankles, he was just always in the right place.

Buzzsaw Fujinokawa amazing as always. Daiesho had a couple good moves but never looked like gaining control.

Aonishiki - Fujinokawa : that footwork tho. So good.

Hakunofuji - Daiesho : almost a repeat of H's previous match Aonishiki, but D was able to refrain from leaping backwards.

Oh yeah. It was the same Oho strat from a basho or two ago, but Gonoyama did it at Gonoyama speed.
