They don't make it easy to follow who-is-who during the match, but it's over so fast you can at least see at the announcement.
Don't know why they don't use simple identifying of the competitors with colours or name-text overlays as the match starts.
You see nice competitors' summary cards with photos at the start, but then they cut to the ring and there are two guys who look nothing like the ones you just saw. Often they're in 'trunks' that are almost identical shades of purple.
Must say I enjoy seeing the Grand Sumo highlights shared on #NHK during the 15 day March tournament.
It's a cool sport, with matches often over in seconds and where going for even a minute would be quite unusual.
NHK could certainly improve their coverage with a tiny effort, but it's still enjoyable to watch
I really enjoyed day 9 of the #GrandSumo on NHK last night. It can be watched on YouTube.
But what I want to know is, has this audience member got huge hair, or a very strange hat?
