ASASHORYU news and Sumo spirit
Recently the Sumo Grand champion, Asashoryu, retired. The biggest reason for his decision was an accident that Asashoryu was involved. News reported he hit a man and the man's nose bone was broken. Asashoryu had a few accidents in the past, and Sumo committee seems to have decided " that's it". There are still many pros and cons, but I [...]
MAO ASADA won today
Mao Asada won the 4 continental figure skating competition today. Yesterday, she made some mistakes in the short program, so many worried about her success today. I think it was a brave choice for her because the next event is the Olympic games. Many of the world level skaters did not join in this competition because of the condition control, [...]
Tiger Woods, Really Sex Addiction ?
This is a really shocking news for me. I don't play the gold so often but sometimes I play it. Although I know I'm just a poor player and not like top player's sensitivity in playing, I understand how Golf is a mental sport and integrated humanity is the most important for gold playing. When I play the golf with some trifle things in my [...]
NORIAKI KASAI, the hidden best ski jumper
Vancouver Olympic is looming. I don't think Japan team would take a lot of medals as they did in Nagano Olympic games. Some players on ski games and skating games are expected, but not such a big possibility for medals. Although we know as above, I can't help hoping that NORIAKI KASAI would take a medal on the ski jump games. I really [...]
Hideki Irabu, an ex-major leaguer, retired playing
Hideki Matsui recently moved his team from NY Yankees to Anaheim Angels. The same first name player, Hideki Irabu was also a member of NY Yankees from Japan. Hideki Irabu is not remembered well because he often commented badly about others and his attitude in the baseball field was not always good as an honorable major league player. [...]
Shigeru Kobayashi, a great pitcher, died yesterday
For a little older baseball fans of Japan, Shigeru Kobayashi is a really unforgettable pitcher. Shigeru Kobayashi first played in Tokyo Giants, and through a dramatic and tragic trade, he transferred to Hansin Osaka Tigers. The trade is a kind of social case in the history of sports business. Shigeru Kobayashi was really a good pitcher and [...]
AI FUKUHARA won the World NO.1 player
Ai Fukuhara has been a very popular table tennis player in Japan. She first appeared on TV when she was about 5 or 6 years old and she played tabble tennis better than adults then. She is always pretty and tries her best whenever she plays, which makes our heart warm and sometimes cry at her honest attitude. Ai Fukuhara is already a top [...]
Vancouver Olympic Games and Japan
Who among Japanese players would get medals in Vancouver Olympic ? This is a hard question because we can't expect much this time. Usually we expect Ski Jump, Speed Skating, Figure Skating, Short Truck Skating, and Mogle Skiing. Some players are really expected, for example, Moa Asada for figure skating, Ayako Uemura for mogle skiing, and [...]
MAO ASADA goes to Vancouver
MAO ASADA is the most popular ice skating player in Japan. She came up as a top figure skater when she was only 14 years old, and expected to go to the olympic games. At that time, she was not entitled to join in the games because of her age being too young. If she had played then in the olympic games, I think she could get a gold [...]
HIDEKI MATSUI to Anaheim Angeles
Hideki Matsui is today reported that he would join in Anaheim Angeles from next season. I personally think this is a good decision for him. Hideki Matsui has been a top player of Japan, so it was natural that he wanted to join in the top baseball team, Yankees. From my eyes, he is still one of the top players but aparrently his best time [...]
