Yep, and I taped it!  Later that night there was a program called O-Sumo which
looked like a collection of various charity events and some old B/w footage. I
taped that too.  The day before there was a recent charity event with the
Ozeki's fighting 6-year old kids.  I taped some of this.  I was particularly
fascinated by the Karaoke singing Rikishi.  All teamed up with some pin-up type
girl (surely not their better halfs????) they sang their way through many
songs, some better than others.

Ake and Taka had a "bout" where they faced each other, did the "stretch-one-arm
out and fold the other" against each other 3 times looking really fierce.....
and that was it!  Weird....

I have all this on tape but it's already counted for.  I send all my
video-footage to another reader of this newslist who then in return send me
Star Trek.
