Tonight I watched a preview of the upcoming Grand Sumo Tournament, which will be held in Osaka. It is around this time that I begin to get quite excited about the event and I thank my lucky stars that NHK is broadcasting the highlights daily. Is it really 12 years since I actually attended a live basho in Osaka?

Tomorrow's opening day features the newly-minted Yokozuna Kisenosato, promoted after his tournament win in January. Will he win back-to-back or lose himself in the nerves that inevitably arise from his elevation? Can Hakuho overcome his injuries? Or Harumafuji? Who else will rise from the pack?

This is a serious newsblog which has been taken from e-newspapers and e-magazines from around the world, with an emphasis on transgender issues. Also, with his election, I look for articles which critique Donald Trump.
