平成26年（2014年）
大相撲11月場所(九州場所)中日に、 東横綱 白鵬関（宮城野部屋）が、 西前頭三枚目 照ノ富士関（伊勢ヶ濱部屋）に寄り切りで勝 ち、 7勝1敗になりました。 照ノ富士関（伊勢ヶ濱部屋）は、 3勝5敗になりました。 何でしょうか、あの駄目押しは。 取組後、盛んに顔（目の当たり）に手をやっ ていたが、 照ノ富士の手が当たったかもしれない。 で、イラッと来たのかもしれないが、 土俵外での駄目押しは、 もしも照ノ富士の巨体が観客の上に倒れたら 、 怪我につながりかねない。 照ノ富士は必死に片足でバランスを取って、 観客の上に倒れ込まないようにしていた。 I didn’t like Hakuho's extra shove to Terunofuji. He should stop it and honor the Yokozuna position. He doesn’t need that extra shove which has been happening more often recently. He stands with 7-1. 西横綱 鶴竜関(井筒部屋)が、 西小結 勢関 （伊勢ノ海部屋）に叩き込みで勝ち、 8勝0敗になりました。 勢関（伊勢ノ海部屋）は、 1勝7敗になりました。 Kakuryu’s yotsu-zumo is sharp, his oshi attack is effective and his thrusts are good. He stands unbeaten with 8-0. 東横綱・2 日馬富士関(伊勢ヶ濱部屋)が、 東小結 豪風関 （尾車部屋)に押し出しで勝ち、 6勝2敗になりました。 豪風関（尾車部屋）は、 1勝7敗になりました。 Did Takekaze try a hand pulldown against Harumafuji? This is one of the things Harumafuji rarely falls for it. Takekaze won’t have chances to remain as Komusubi. He will need to win all the remaining bouts of this basho. 東大関 琴奨菊関(佐渡ヶ嶽部屋)が、 西大関 稀勢の里関 (田子ノ浦部屋）に上手投げで負け、 3勝5敗になりました。 稀勢の里関(田子ノ浦部屋）は、 7勝1敗になりました。 土俵際で粘った、稀勢の里。 Kotoshogiku's is getting vulnerable to a variety of techniques. His lower body are probably weakening, making him losing his balance quite often. 西大関・2 豪栄道関(境川部屋)が、 東前頭三枚目 高安関 （田子ノ浦部屋）に寄り切りで負け、 4勝4敗になりました。 高安関（田子ノ浦部屋）は、 5勝3敗になりました。 Takayasu is getting more confident. He simply got a belt grip and walked him back and off the dohyo today. Ozeki Goeido now stands with 4-4. He is in trouble now to make his kachikoshi. 西関脇 逸ノ城関 (湊部屋)が、 東前頭筆頭 栃煌山関 (春日野部屋）に寄り切りで負け、 4勝4敗になりました。 栃煌山関（春日野部屋）は、 3勝5敗になりました。 満員御礼の中で、 今日の逸ノ城の変化はNG！ がっかした。 何で変化なんかするんだろう! 良い身体してるんだし、 先場所は許されても、 もう今場所はダメ。 師匠から厳しく注意して貰った方が良いと思 う。 Ichinojo’s sumo was very disappointing today.

大相撲11月場所(九州場所)九日目に、
東横綱 白鵬関（宮城野部屋）が、 西関脇 逸ノ城関 (湊部屋）に上手出し投げで勝ち、 8勝1敗になりました。 逸ノ城関 (湊部屋）は、 4勝5敗になりました。 Ichinojo got his left handed outside grip and so did Hakuho. Hakuho is the best belt specialist from all times. He did not even give Ichinojo time to do anything else, other than winning as the same way he did last basho. Ichinojo lacks in speed which make him vulnerable against the Yokozuna who never allows his opponents to take sumo. The question is how to beat the greatest Yokozuna of all times. Ichinojo lacks in experience, and I were him, I would go to Hakuho’s heya and practice with him every single day. Hakuho made his kachikoshi standing at 8-1 and Ichonojo stands at 4-5. He still have chances to make his kachikoshi. I think he still have bouts against Kisenosato and Kotoshogiku. If he has a tough mind, he can made his kachikoshi even losing the bouts against the two Ozeki above. 西横綱 鶴竜関(井筒部屋)が、 東関脇 碧山関 （春日野部屋）に寄り切りで勝ち、 9勝0敗になりました。 碧山関（春日野部屋）は、 5勝4敗になりました。 全勝の鶴竜が注目。 今日の対戦相手は大きい碧山。 立ち合い、鶴竜は碧山に合わせるように、 突き放していきました。 碧山の突き押しは、場所を追うごとに 威力を増しており、私は一瞬、「どうか」 と思いましたが、碧山が頭をつけてきた のが幸いしましたね、鶴竜にとっては。 鶴竜は、すぐに碧山より低い位置で頭を つけては、もろ差しになって、難なく 寄り切りました。 厳しい相撲でした。今場所の鶴竜は先場所よ り厳しい。 素晴らしいですよ。 白鵬との直接対決は千秋楽でしょうが、 それまでになんとか全勝で行ければ、 優勝も見えてくるでしょう。 東横綱・2 日馬富士関(伊勢ヶ濱部屋)が、 西大関・2 豪栄道関 (境川部屋)に突き落としで勝ち、 7勝2敗になりました。 豪栄道関(境川部屋）は、 4勝5敗になりました。 Harumafuji used Kakuryu’s common technique. His tachiai was good and when Goeido got too low, he simply got thrust down. Goeido barely has power for an Ozeki. With the loss, he stands at 4-5 which made his kachikoshi more troublesome than ever. He still has to fight against 2 Yokozuna and 2 Ozeki. I guess he will lose against Hakuho and Kakuryu if he keeps fighting poorly as he has been doing so far. I am wondering how is going to be demoted first, Goeido or Kotoshogiku. Perhaps they will be demoted altogether. The sumo association needs another Ozeki, but the one who was supposed to be the closest at it, Ichinojo is not performing that well as expected. 東大関 琴奨菊関(佐渡ヶ嶽部屋)が、 東前頭三枚目 高安関 (田子ノ浦部屋）に寄り切りで勝ち、 4勝5敗になりました。 高安関(田子ノ浦部屋）は、 5勝4敗になりました。 Kotoshogiku needed this win at all costs in order to make his kachikoshi. However, I was expecting Takayasu to win today. He should practice how to make lateral attack since Kotoshogiku doesn’t have a good balance anymore. 西大関 稀勢の里関(田子ノ浦部屋)が、 西前頭二枚目 豊響関 （境川部屋）に突き落としで勝ち、 8勝1敗になりました。 豊響関（境川部屋）は、 2勝7敗になりました。 Kisenosato stayed almost at the edge today. Toyohibiki has a poor balance and can’t fight in the belt. He could have showed a better performance today. Anyway, Kisenosato has already made his kachikoshi. However, I think it is a matter of time to see him losing as every basho. 西前頭十一枚目 旭天鵬関(友綱部屋)が、 東前頭六枚目 豊ノ島関 （時津風部屋）に叩き込みで勝ち、 8勝1敗になりました。 豊ノ島関（時津風部屋）は、 6勝3敗になりました。 I think it is impressive to see Kyokutenho score, considering his age. His lower body is getting weak, but his upper body is still strong enough to help him make his kachikoshi at the top division. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Japanese
I am at the point where I have to deal with the following type of vocabularies: slight nuances and connotations; proverbs, sayings, idiomatic expressions (idiomatic四字熟語); regionalisms; archaisms; jargon or technical language and so on. Sometimes I forget the reading of certain characters, though I still remember semantically what it means. They are usually infrequent characters which don’t belong to the compulsory list (total of 2136) one adult should know. I have formally studied more than 2800 ideograms when I was young. By that time I studied its usage, examples and nuances in a context, but due to the fact I have been more than a decade without practicing much, I have forgotten a lot of readings. I don’t always necessarily check all the words or expressions, especially those that are Sino-Japanese or native Japanese words. I tend to check more often foreign origin words, especially in certain fields of my interest. I can say that the meaning of the loan words in Japanese I have been reading differs from the original one in its usage. Sometimes I do flashcards using Anki; sometimes I do wordlists, as since it is handwritten because I tend to remember things better (at long-term) when I have written them down in an organized notebook. That may be different for younger people who have developed a symbiotic relationship with their electronic devices such as notebooks, smartphones, tablets, and so on. There are differences between receptive and productive vocabulary. Even if I recognize and claim to understand many words such as the ones I read this week, I bet most Japanese native speakers have never used them actively and perhaps never will. This is very striking when reading literature or any other old texts, for example. Right now I'm reading a short story for a little study on vocabulary and I see on every page at least one word or expression that I have never used in my life. An individual's productive vocabulary is made up of a very small set of shared common words and structures plus the specialized vocabulary of one's profession and interests. So, I don’t get bothered by these unknown terms I have been facing lately. I don’t see the point to make certain words or expressions active since I am not studying as an academic anymore. Some of the dictionaries I have been using include 国語辞典：広辞苑、大辞林、大辞泉、明 鏡、新辞林、新明解 etc. However, I have also been using類義語、諺 and some specific dictionaries related to history and other terminology of my interest as well because I need some specific definitions depending on the book I am working on. Learning is an ongoing process. You may get to a point where you would consider yourself at advanced fluency, but you will always continue to pick up unfamiliar words and phrases if you want to explore the infinite possibilities of the target language. To summarize what I did last week: +I watched eleven episodes of the second season of蛍の光. I think both 藤木直人 and綾瀬 はるか are good actors and I am looking forward for another Japanese drama. It wasn’t a bad drama at all, but I was expecting much more from season 2. +I reviewed the first and second week of N1 総まとめ（漢字編 、文法編、語彙編）. I almost finished 読解編 in a week and it was probably the the easiest book for me. I did one week (6 days) in one day each. The seventh day I will try when I have more patience. + I did some N1 mock exams. Let’s say 5 each day from Monday to Friday. Fortunately I have been doing well. I am just wondering if I have read the JLPT notice carefully. If I am not wrong, I was supposed to take “Language Knowledge (Vocabulary/Grammar)・ Reading” section in 110 minutes. I am pretty sure I have printed the whole section. So, among 30 (or few pages more), I have been doing it in an average of 40 minutes with a reasonable score, making two or three mistakes per mock test, mostly in the grammar section. I was told that N1 grammar topics I would find in texts such as thesis etc, but I have never seen some of them except in JLPT old tests and mock exams. I don’t see the point to learn something I simply don’t get to see. My acquaintance is studying for the exam and one of the things makes him say that there is not much time to take the test is the fact that he reads the whole text. I don’t read the whole text of the reading section. I have never read it to get the answers... It just confuses you, not to say that one can save a lot of time there. + Another acquaintance has asked how long it takes me to read a manga. Well, my average time to read each manga book (for instance, 幽☆遊☆白書) was 15 minutes. I have never measured my time before. I just pick up 4 manga per hour every day. + I watched 25 episodes of聖闘士星矢 Lost in Canvas. I thought this was the Saint Seiya episodes my colleagues have been telling me, but I was wrong. There is another one I have never watched before. Anyway, this was one of the few anime I liked. + I watched the first 9 days of sumo tournament. + 2 days (Saturday and Sunday) of Japanese practice with Japanese people. It was good to brush up my rusty Japanese skills. English One of the most important things in our lives is the motivation in order to achieve any goals. Saying that having a good lifestyle improves the overall quality of our lives is a cliché. It is more important to know how people try to stay both physically and mentally healthy since this is one of the keys for success to maintain or learn any language. Nowadays I have good eating habits most of times and I try to get enough sleep every night whenever possible. I usually go to the gym to strengthen my general body and consequently stay mentally healthy as well. I think these points ignored by many people I talk to have helped me to retain the information at long-term, obviously because I was feeling top notch. Some of my acquaintances argue that going to the gym is a waste of time and that I could use one hour (or more) by exclusively reading or watching some stuff. I usually listen to music which helps me relax and also acquire new vocabulary or expressions while I am at the gym. + I watched four episodes of True detective season 1. I didn’t like it, despite its high rate among its spectators. I think it was quite predictable since I have watched something similar in another language, though it was much deeper. + I have taken some conversation classes, but I didn’t like it. I took about five lessons with an Australian teacher, but she wanted me to do things out of my goals. I think she didn’t understand me when I have stated my opinion over a fact. Sometimes I don’t think there should be an answer or even something such as “correct” or “incorrect” concerning certain topics. It is a matter of point of view which depends exclusively in the person’s background and personality. So, let’s say that I was asked whether killing someone is wrong or not. Well, this kind of questions is too generic and it depends on the country’s law, someone’s personality, and the situation of which you are talking about, among many other important facts. If there is someone having mental illness and he starts killing your girlfriends’ whole family without a reason, but just randomly because that person thinks himself that he should simply kill everyone, if I have a gun and considering that I know how to use it, why not kill him in order to survive? It is a matter of my own protection. By the way, this situation has happened in a country whose national constitution I am not aware about. The person considered to have some mental problems has killed random people who he has never met before. When I tried to discuss this matter according to my point of view, my teacher disagreed with me and started arguing over some other irrelevant facts to that situation. Furthermore, I don’t like to pay for a lesson in which the teacher speaks much more than me all the time and doesn’t even try to give me the opportunity to talk. It was like 30% of my talking and 70% of her talking. Well, she speaks even more than my ex-girlfriend! Haha I think she got pissed off and suddenly started saying that my pronunciation needed to be corrected all out of blue. She was correcting me word by word. Let’s say that I was stressing the wrong syllable. Well, okay, but then, if I were her, I would try to give an example in a context and try to work on it only when needed. Do you guys memorize each word’s stress by a long list? I don’t. This kind of method doesn’t work with me. So, I kindly reported her that I would appreciate if next time she gives me more examples of each word she claimed that I spoke wrongly, but in a context. The intonation of the whole sentence makes more sense to me. I have hired another professional teacher on Italki. I have explained all my short and mid-term to her. I thought I have made my point very clear, but I wasn’t sure what her goal toward my classes was during the class. I think she has not prepared what I asked for (and what she has agreed in advance). I usually send a very long message explaining what I am aiming for during the class. Of course, the lessons are never just about questions I have and we should practice conversations or whatever else I feel is my weakest area at that particular moment. During the class, I try to stick in a subject, no matter I like it or not, because I do feel the need to learn how to rephrase sentences. If things are still wrong, I ask for words that I am missing or that I should remove in order to rebuild the sentences in a more natural way. I do not keep change the topic when I feel that the idea is beyond my level to express because I know I can learn a lot of new words, expressions, idioms and so on. I have took lessons with other professional teachers at Italki as well, and it has been very disappointing so far. Teachers do not understand that I have my own goals that might be different from other students of her. During the session I can feel that all of the teachers I have tried are quite inflexible. It is very easy to spot the bad teachers as well. They usually want to decide for me. Good teachers can give you grammar explanation, exercises to work with your weakest areas, send you some websites you have asked for (especially for English), figure out the best sentences to rephrase what you have said, and so on. My teachers are native speakers of English, but they could not explain me many points I have asked for. They are inexperienced teachers. Korean + I read all the 25 units of TTMIK 1. I listened to all of them until unit 20. It takes too much time to listen to the whole audio. I am looking for another course since this TTMIK1 is too boring. + I watched all the episodes of “I hear your voice”. Chinese + I memorized the 150 words and expressions from HSK1 list using anki I can tell the meaning, but still have to memorize the tones of 50 words or expressions. I only pick up something I really want to do. If I don't want to do it, there's no point, really. I find funny because among my colleagues who are polyglots or language enthusiastic, they keep telling me I should do this and that. They have recommended me tons of courses without even bothering to ask what are my specific goals for each language. This is one the things that bothers me at most... Another language I am willing to add one more language. I am start in December. In meanwhile, I would like to take a look on the internet to see whether I can find good resources for A1 and A2 level.

大相撲11月場所(九州場所)十日目に、
東横綱 白鵬関（宮城野部屋）が、 東関脇 碧山関 (春日野部屋）に寄り切りで勝ち、 9勝1敗になりました。 碧山関 (春日野部屋）は、 5勝5敗になりました。 Despite Aoiyama's size and power, he doesn't know much how to fight on the belt. This is one of the reasons he is not remaining in sanyaku ranking on consistent basis. He definitely does not have any chances against Hakuho. 西横綱 鶴竜関(井筒部屋)が、 西前頭三枚目 照ノ富士関 （伊勢ヶ濱部屋）に寄り切りで勝ち、 10勝0敗になりました。 照ノ富士関（伊勢ヶ濱部屋）は、 4勝6敗になりました。 Yokozuna Kakuryu remains unbeaten, standing at 10-0. Kakuryu's yotsuzumo has been superb this basho. Similarly to the other young rikishi, Ichinojo and Terunofuji both have power and good defense, but they both lack in speed. Terunofuji usually gets into bad position too often. I am not sure how he can improve the foot work. If he gets into a good position, he may be in sanyaku in a regular basis. 東横綱・2 日馬富士関(伊勢ヶ濱部屋)が、 西大関 稀勢の里関 (田子ノ浦部屋)に押し出しで勝ち、 8勝2敗になりました。 稀勢の里関(田子ノ浦部屋）は、 8勝2敗になりました。 Harumafuji made his kachikoshi. Harumafuji pushed Kisenosato off the dohyo too easily. One of Kisenosato's weakness is the lack of speed. He is usually vulnerable against quick rikishi. Both rikishi stands at 8-2, but I suppose Kisenosato will get a couple of losses more until the end of the tournament (as usual). 東大関 琴奨菊関(佐渡ヶ嶽部屋)が、 西大関・2 豪栄道関 (境川部屋）に送り倒しで勝ち、 5勝5敗になりました。 豪栄道関(境川部屋）は、 4勝6敗になりました。 In a bout of two desperate Japanese Ozeki, Kotoshogiku defended well and he simply walked straight. Goeido desperately tried Kubinage which doesn't work much against the top ranking rikishi. I am not surprised about his poor performance and score (4-6). He will definitely not make his kachikoshi, considering that he still have to face Kakuryu who is sharp this basho, and also Hakuho, the strongest rikishi ever. 逸ノ城 Ichinojo faced Aminishi, one of the best technicians. Ichinojo won using his oshi attack and stands at 5-5. I am cheering for him to make his kachikoshi. Kakuryu stands at 10-0, Hakuho at 9-1, and Harumafuji, Kisenosato, Tochinoshin and Kyokutenho at 8-2. I guess the yusho will be among the Yokozuna rikishi. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

大相撲11月場所(九州場所)十一日目に、
東横綱 白鵬関（宮城野部屋）が、 西大関・2 豪栄道関 (境川部屋）に 叩き込みで勝ち、 10勝1敗になりました。 豪栄道関 (境川部屋）は、 4勝7敗になりました。 白鵬は下がった時、 ちょっとヒヤッとした。 豪栄道は来場所角番になる。 白鵬戦、４連勝ならず。 Goeido is probably going to be at his first kadoban next basho. He is charging with his head too down and this is one of the reasons he kept losing in a similar way very often. Goeido has won 3 consecutive basho against Hakuho, but today I bet he would lose. He has been performing very badly. The Sumo Association will regret for promoting him to Ozeki if he keep fighting as this basho. 西横綱 鶴竜関(井筒部屋)が、 西大関 稀勢の里関 (田子ノ浦部屋）に 押し出しで負け、 10勝1敗になりました。 稀勢の里関(田子ノ浦部屋）は、 9勝2敗になりました。 稀勢の里は鶴竜の全勝を止めた。 大関は覇気とか意地とか勢いとか 全然知らないとと思っていたが、 やればけっこうできる。 強いときは強くて、負けるときは 前頭の力士みたいに簡単に負ける。 波がある力士。 He does not even show up against Harumafuji yesterday, and then beats undefeated Kakuryu. This is the typical Kisenosato... In a bout between Yokozuna and Ozeki, I was cheering for the first. Everyone knows that Kakuryu is high skilled at retreating and slap down techniques, but today he didn’t have much time for his tricks, despite Kisenosato’s slow footwork. The Ozeki maintained his balance and kept with his oshi attack without stopping. Both rikishi stands at 10-1. The rivalry of them stands in favor to Kisenosato with 26-13 (or 26- 15?). Anyway, still a big advantage. 東横綱・2 日馬富士関(伊勢ヶ濱部屋)が、 東関脇 碧山関 (春日野部屋)に 叩き込みで負け、 8勝3敗になりました。 碧山関 (春日野部屋）は、 6勝5敗になりました。 I rarely seem Harumafuji slipping on the dohyo. Former Ozeki Tochiazuma has said once in an interview that the dohyo in Kyushu basho is the one rikishi slipper at most. However, this is the same for everyone. There is no excuse. Harumafuji is already 8-3, not a good score for a Yokozuna. Let’s see if he can win all his remaining bouts. I expect him at least to win 3 of his 4 last bouts. With this win, Aoiyama has chances to make his kachikoshi. 東大関 琴奨菊関(佐渡ヶ嶽部屋)が、 西前頭三枚目 照ノ富士関 (伊勢ヶ濱部屋）に送り出しで負け、 5勝6敗になりました。 照ノ富士関(伊勢ヶ濱部屋）は、 5勝6敗になりました。 照ノ富士は前の対戦で変化して、 今日はまともに取る期待をした。 今回は立ち合い、ちょっと左に移動した程度 だった。 Kotoshogiku has been leaning forward quite often. Terunofuji has a good defense and he got a good belt position today. Kotoshogiku is in trouble since he still have to fight against Hakuho and Kakuryu who has been superb so far this basho. I am cheering for Terunofuji to make his kachikoshi. I would like to see him fighting against the top ranking rikishi every basho. 西前頭十一枚目 旭天鵬関(友綱部屋)が、 東前頭八枚目 栃ノ心関 （春日野部屋）に寄り切りで負け、 8勝3敗になりました。 栃ノ心関（春日野部屋）は、 9勝2敗になりました。 がっぷり四つ相撲になりました。 ４０歳のわりには、旭天鵬はまだまだ力があ る。 上半身はまだまだ強い。相当疲れたようだ。 栃ノ心は体幹がしっかししている。 寄り切りで栃ノ心の勝ち。 終盤戦、ずっと連勝が続けば、 上位との対戦が組まれる可能性が高い。 It was an excellent bout. Tochinoshin overpowered Kyokutenho in a bout of belt contest. He stands at 9-2. I wish he can get a couple of more wins so that he can reach sanyaku ranking next basho. 逸ノ城 － 豊響 Toyohibiki often loses in the same way, overcharging and leaning forward onto the dohyo. He doesn’t have a good balance at all. Any side movement attack makes him vulnerable. I was expecting Ichinojo to use more his power and drive Toyohibiki backwards. Tomorrow’s bout is going to be much more interesting. Edited by Nieng Zhonghan on 19 November 2014 at 9:33pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

大相撲11月場所(九州場所)十二日目に、
東横綱 白鵬関（宮城野部屋）が、 西大関 稀勢の里関(田子ノ浦部屋）に 上手投げで勝ち、 11勝1敗になりました。 稀勢の里関(田子ノ浦部屋）は、 9勝3敗になりました。 Hakuho has not any trouble today. It was like a training bout. As I expected, Kisenosato keep on losing in the last days as usual. 西横綱 鶴竜関(井筒部屋)が、 西大関・2 豪栄道関 (境川部屋）に叩き込みで勝ち、 11勝1敗になりました。 豪栄道関(境川部屋）は、 4勝8敗になりました。 Shame on Kakuryu! I was expecting him to fight more vigorously from the beginning. However, the wrong one is Goeido who has been charging with his head too down the whole basho. Sumo Association promoted him too soon. Next basho will be his first kadoban. 東横綱・2 日馬富士関(伊勢ヶ濱部屋)が、 東前頭六枚目 豊ノ島関 (時津風部屋)に押し出しで勝ち、 9勝3敗になりました。 豊ノ島関(時津風部屋）は、 6勝6敗になりました。 東大関 琴奨菊関(佐渡ヶ嶽部屋)が、 西関脇 逸ノ城関 (湊部屋）に寄り切りで勝ち、 6勝6敗になりました。 逸ノ城関(湊部屋）は、 6勝6敗になりました。 逸ノ城は腰が高いね。 明日は栃ノ心ー逸ノ城（幕内では初顔）。 I was expecting Ichinojo to win today. He cannot allow such a weak Ozeki win. Ichinojo has been forced backwards after the tachiai. Despite his size, I don’t think he has been using his power and balance very well this basho. He is still inexperienced, but I think he will improve in a couple of basho. Ichinojo will face Tochinoshin tomorrow. 栃ノ心ー蒼国来 栃ノ心、力強い相撲！ Tochinoshin might get a sanyaku ranking next basho. Standing with 10-2, it seems that he has recovered from his injury. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

大相撲11月場所(九州場所)十四日目に、
東横綱 白鵬関（宮城野部屋）が、 東横綱・2 日馬富士関(伊勢ヶ濱部屋）に 送り出しで勝ち、 13勝1敗になりました。 日馬富士関(伊勢ヶ濱部屋）は、 10勝4敗になりました。 Harumafuji went for a nodowa, but it did him no good today and Hakuho threw him off the dohyo. One of the reasons I love sumo so much is that the Japanese national sport has great emphasis on character, respect, dignity, behavior and honor for an opponent following old traditions. Yokozuna Hakuho is the greatest Mongolian rikishi; former Mongolian Yokozuna Asashoryu being the close second, and one of the greatest rikishi of all time, if not the greatest. Tomorrow Hakuho will reach former Yokozuna Taiho’s record and break it by next year. I think Hakuho can win 40 tournaments until the end of his great career. 西横綱 鶴竜関(井筒部屋)が、 東大関 琴奨菊関 (佐渡ヶ嶽部屋）に 上手出し投げで勝ち、 12勝2敗になりました。 琴奨菊関(佐渡ヶ嶽部屋）は、 6勝8敗になりました。 In a belt contest, Kakuryu didn’t give any chance to Kotoshogiku who didn’t lose only, but he got his makekoshi this basho. Kakuryu simply throw Kotoshogiku, improving to 12-2. Despite his win today, Kakuryu doesn’t have many chances tomorrow. He needs to win Hakuho twice, something I don’t remember happening to Hakuho’s career. 西大関 稀勢の里関(田子ノ浦部屋)が、 西関脇 逸ノ城関 (湊部屋）に叩き込みで負け、 10勝4敗になりました。 逸ノ城関(湊部屋）は、 8勝6敗になりました。 逸ノ城 は大関を破って新関脇で勝ち越しになった。 Ichinojo defeated Kisenosato two basho in row, improving to 8-6. Ichinojo will remain a Sekiwake in January (hatsubasho). Kisenosato dropped to 10-4. It is likely he will never win a tournament. He is still a regular and solid Ozeki, but nothing else more. 西大関・2 豪栄道関(境川部屋)が、 東前頭四枚目 魁聖関 （友綱部屋）に上手投げで負け、 5勝9敗になりました。 魁聖関（友綱部屋）は、 6勝8敗になりました。 Goeido has had his worst performance in the last few years. I don’t remember last time he had a makekoshi. He lost even to Kaisei who is not well known to have a strong and well balanced lower body. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

平成26年（2014年）大相撲11月場所(九州場所)
千秋楽に、 東横綱 白鵬関（宮城野部屋）が、 西横綱 鶴竜関(井筒部屋）に 送り出しで勝ち、 14勝1敗で32回目の幕内優勝を 決めました。 鶴竜関(井筒部屋）は、 12勝3敗で九州場所を終えました。 白鵬の32回優勝、 大記録達成となった。 白鵬の目からは大粒の涙が落ちる。 この気持ち、大横綱にしか分かりません。 何はともあれ、おめでとうございます。 Hakuho avoided at all cost the rematch. Hakuho’s tachiai is always very good, very consistent, and well balanced. Today he got a very good position (morozashi technique), not giving time to Kakuryu to recover. Hakuho has a big advantage against Kakuryu, standing at 34-4 in their rivalry. Hakuho is likely to break former Daiyokozuna Taiho next basho (hatsubasho). Actually I think that he can win at least 40 tournaments until the end of his career. Of course, it is not an easy accomplishment after especially after breaking Taiho’s record. Perhaps he will need to work on his motivation to continue fighting as a professional sumo wrestler. At hatsubasho it will be a matter of winning the tournament without being defeated or not. 東横綱・2 日馬富士関(伊勢ヶ濱部屋)が、 東大関 琴奨菊関 (佐渡ヶ嶽部屋)に上手出し投げで勝ち、 11勝4敗で九州場所を終えました。 琴奨菊関(佐渡ヶ嶽部屋）は、 6勝9敗で九州場所を終えました。 Harumafuji got the outside grip against Kotoshogiku who were thrown off the dohyo. Kotoshogiku still leads the rivalry between them, but it is likely he will be demoted from Ozeki rank next year. It is a matter of time. Everyone knows that his lower body is getting weak and he is usually losing his balance quickly. Harumafuji stands at 11-4, but I was expecting him to take more wins this basho. His score it is not that bad, but still not good for Yokozuna. At least one more win would have made the basho more exciting until the last day. 西大関 稀勢の里関(田子ノ浦部屋)が、 西大関・2 豪栄道関 (境川部屋）に突き落としで勝ち、 11勝4敗で九州場所を終えました。 豪栄道関(境川部屋）は、 5勝10敗で九州場所を終えました。 In a bout between two Ozeki, Kisenosato won by tsukiotoshi, though it seemed like Goeido simply slipped by himself. Goeido has probably frustrated his fans by making makekoshi and standing at only 5-10. What a poor performance for an Ozeki, especially considering that it was his second basho at his new rank. He will be at kadoban next basho. The last time I have seen two Ozeki at kadoban was 14 years ago at Nagoya basho, perhaps. Both Musoyama and Miyabiyama were struggling to remain as an Ozeki. 東関脇 碧山関(春日野部屋)が、 東前頭六枚目 豊ノ島関 (時津風部屋）に押し倒しで勝ち、 8勝7敗で九州場所を終えました。 豊ノ島関(時津風部屋）は、 8勝7敗で九州場所を終えました。 The big Bulgarian bulldozer used his usual tsuppari attacks to overpower the smallest rikishi at the top division. Aoiyama indeed has upper body power, but he doesn’t know how to fight in the belt. He should train hard to get the belt, so that he won’t be that predictable and vulnerable against certain types of rikishi. Toyonoshima is getting too fat. He lost his speed with his massive unnecessary belly. He should lose some weight and gain his footwork speed or he will likely to be losing more than usual. 西関脇 逸ノ城関 (湊部屋)が、 西前頭三枚目 照ノ富士関 (伊勢ヶ濱部屋）に寄り切りで負け、 8勝7敗で九州場所を終えました。 照ノ富士関（伊勢ヶ濱部屋）は、 8勝7敗で九州場所を終えました。 This was the longest bout of the day. In a belt contest of two young Mongolian, Terunofuji overpowered Ichinojo. Both rikishi have chances to be promoted to Ozeki in the near future, if they don’t get any serious injury. Ichinojo made his second kachikoshi at his second basho at the makuuchi division. He lacks in experience, speed, but he has usually a good defense. He needs to improve in his overall sumo to defeat the sanyaku rikishi. 東前頭三枚目 高安関（田子ノ浦部屋）が 2回目の殊勲賞を受賞しました。 高安関（田子ノ浦部屋） 成績 10勝5敗 Takayasu won against Tochinoshin, throwing him first. He might be ranked as komusubi next basho. It will be a challenge for him to make kachikoshi. 東前頭八枚目 栃ノ心関（春日野部屋）が 4回目の敢闘賞を受賞しました。 成績 11勝4敗 I am glad Tochinoshin is back to the makuuchi division. However, it will be difficult for him to make kachikoshi fighting against sanyaku. Let’s see how much he can do next basho. 西前頭十一枚目 旭天鵬関(友綱部屋)が 7回目の敢闘賞を受賞しました。 旭天鵬関(友綱部屋） 成績 10勝5敗 Kyokutenho should be respected. He made his kachikoshi being at 40 years old. He is the oldest rikishi I have seen so far. 技能賞は、該当者がありませんでした。 Edited by Nieng Zhonghan on 24 November 2014 at 12:44am 2 persons have voted this message useful |
