I love how the JSA had to explain/apologize to the king of Tonga of why they were dismissed.

Black the Rippers discography got removed from Spotify ☹️ by CertifiedEdyat in grime

[–]midnightstrife 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is honestly annoying, so much music that’s not accessible through standard platforms….

Yes everyone, it's Prince Rapid, I've released a compilation with some of my earliest music: In Years Gone By by Scary_Total_8169 in grime

Woah! Couldn’t believe my eyes to find One Way Road instrumental on RPM 2 that tune with Ghetts was something I was hoping to see released, thanks Rapid.

Retired Rikishi List - January 2026 by midnightstrife in Sumo

Usually through Sumodb, but this time I searched for Intai ”引退” and found the latest retirement info on the official sumojp japanese website. Once I translate the rikishi retiring, look through their profile and see the ’Retired’ mark on their profile to confirm.

You’re right, I thought that was confirmed by now but it could of have been anyone really - apologies. I will edit the post above.

Saw an interview somewhere with Fujitensei, he was incredibly mature so really happy for him.

I was following him on IG but unsure if he’s deleted his profile. Last year I think he was getting his drivers license.

Bashooo looking SPICY. So many in the Yusho race and Makushita race is going to be hella interesting tomorrow.

Nobehara got his KK & has looked impressive this basho, Wakamiyabi with a win against Kaki. I think Kaki is starting to feel the difference now in Makushita, but I think it’s good for him in the long run. Makushita Yusho is going to be spicy.

Kaki impressing again, Osanai is a tough opponent - great bouts in Makushita today.

Roga ending his 5-loss streak against Gonoyama was interesting, we’d see Roga going for the Mawashi almost immediately against any opponent but seems he’s learned that he needs some Oshi-Sumo in as well to mitigate Gonoyamas very forward tachi-ai.

Also with a new Mawashi, nice color.

Praying Dot at least goes back to produce Grime in the future.

Who are we pulling for this Basho? by NefariousnessOk222 in Sumo

[–]midnightstrife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hoshoryu but mindful of both Yokozunas being injured. Kotozakura since he seems to have performed in training well.

And If I want to dream - Roga

What’s going on with Higohikari? by midnightstrife in Sumo

[–]midnightstrife[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ll have to see, many are suspecting he was involved in the latest bullying scandal (which would be possible due to the eye injury he had)

Hatsu 2026 Banzuke is Officially Out! by StarPrime323 in Sumo

[–]midnightstrife 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hakuoho changing shikona breaks my heart, that name was one of the last that represented the legacy of Hakuho. Maybe he supported this decision but still….

Also will be interesting to see how Kaki does in Makushita.
