Former rikishi -short term Oyakata -turned singer Daishi had his new "dohyo-ir"-- his first "Dinner-show" performance at a hotel in Tokyo. 500 people turned out, among them Shikoroyama Oyakata (ex- Terao) and other Sumo personalities. He sang 9 songs, ranging from jinku to rap to opera to musicals to pop.

I caught a report on one of the chat shows yesterday morning, and in the little bit I heard, the operatic tenor voice was excellent. This was a new direction, and it showed that he's more than a curiosity. FWIW.
