Konnichiwa and welcome to another edition of SUMO PRIME TIME. Today, we'll show you a clip which was originally made by the Japanese-language TH-cam team. As you know, having a topknot is one of the symbols of being a professional rikishi. This footage reveals how to keep the rikishi’s hairstyle in perfect shape. Honestly speaking, I was flabbergasted to see what goes on behind-the-scenes to maintain rikishi’s topknot nice and neat at all times and impeccable techniques required by the hairdresser in so doing. I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly shocked to see the true makings of the topknot. Thanks always for watching and see you all again soon. Arigato!!
Konnichiwa! 🙏
Wow! That is a very interesting topic! Thank you for showing us! ♡ Arigato!
#SaveSoil #ConsciousPlanet 💚🌱
names of the musics please
Pls credit the music. Name?
Where can we watch sumo basho with English commentary in TH-cam ?
Never did I think before I got into sumo I'd be watching someone's hair be combed for 14 minutes.
Whoever realized that hairdressing and guitar solos needed to meet I thank you. 🙏🙌
Thank you for letting us have a peek at this, I never knew they had to shave under the topknot! Please keep it up Sumo Prime Time!
As a licensed barber I found this intriguing and I'm not familiar with the shears used to trim the top knot. I also found the knot tying interesting. Some scalp treatment is really needed.
I was thinking the same thing, whole lot of dry skin under there. It must be such a relief for retired rikishi to never have to go through the process again.
Perhaps a good washing to start?
@@ChristineAnneMay The vid said they wash their hair once a week. This poor guy needs to wash more often and/or use a good medicated shampoo. His head must itch like crazy.
This is tradition More than just sports and fashion If you start saying things like that, the tradition will disappear. It's up to them to decide, not you foreigners.
Most sports are unhealthy if you only think about health MMA or boxing weight loss and extreme diets are not healthy either same for bodybuilders. Compared to them, hair is minor problem
@@novrinkov0053 Not all "traditions" should be kept, foreigner. In fact, many traditions are unintentionally created ("we've just 'always' done it this way") and the meaning is lost if there even was one. And other traditions have come and gone, even in sumo. There is no reason for them to not look after the condition of the hair and scalp of the Rikishi, and commenting that it is a good idea will not topple any sacred cows, nor hurt anyone physically or emotionally. No "foreign devils" will invade the Association and make them wash hair more regularly, gods forbid! Stop acting like everything they do is some sacred, unchangeable decree from the gods, because they aren't. I like traditions in sumo, but that doesn't mean there isn't room to change and grow.
I'm utterly surprised. For the first time, I see the situation with shaving the head.
The hidden secret of the topknots - sumo is a world of endless discoveries.
This was very interesting, thanks
I absolutely ADORE the music scoring for this video. It really captures the meditative aspect of just sitting there, having your hair done, and collapsing your attention into how good it feels
While nice, the guitar solo at the end was giving me real Blade Runner vibes.
This is such an honor to watch how the top knot is created. How soothing and relaxing it was . such beautiful long black hair perfect. Thankyou for sharing
As a newcomer to sumo, it's not the fighting alone, it's also these cultural discoveries even in the hair, which makes it so interesting and appealing, even if you are from Denmark. Beautiful video.
I agree..from Newfoundland! 😂
Hiro Morita, I want to thank you and sumo prime time for making these great videos for us foreign-born fans of sumo.
Thank you to the hairdressers who support the wrestlers to fight with dignity and honor.
wow, SPT is already great with its own original content, but having access to the treasure trove that is NSK's official channel just takes it a notch above.
As a hairdresser I really enjoyed watching this video ❤ thank you
One of your best to date. I certainly didn’t know there was a bald patch shaved into the top knot.
I liked the background music. Very calming.
What is the music used in this video? Anyone know?
That soft rock is a funny choice of music.
Wow this was amazing, and in my opinion your best video yet. Thanks to all involved for showing us something I in years of following sumo didn't even know was a thing, and handled by you in such a great way with a lot of respect and tranquility.
Please, if you guys are going to start doing translated videos of the japanese sumo TH-cam, please translate some of the videos of life in the stable...I'm not a native speaker and I try to keep up with what is being said but its so fast! Plus these videos, even to someone with rudimentary japanese skills are super entertaining! Please consider it!
Arigato. I believe many gentleman like myself have longer hair now due to the pandemic. This is how I became interested in Sumo at the beginning. Now I am a big fan of Sumo and Japan.
Im rooting for Dewanosora in the May basho! I appreciate him showing us the nakazori. I bet it feels very refreshing having the nakazori done. I know when I shave my head in the summer it feels amazing. Thanks Sumo Prime Time! I hope Dewanosora goes 7-0 this upcoming basho!
This background music is amazing. Very cool video overall.
That is quite a routine. No wonder all the rikishi have such nice hair.
Didn't know about the shaving of the top of the head. Makes me wonder if that is why you sometimes see that type of shaving in artworks and media
Yeah, I've seen a few ukiyoe prints of men with very long hair but a bald spot on top. Really interesting stuff.
Not sure if having that much dandruff is called nice though... only hidden cause of oils...
Can't blame them if their scalp has flakes. Those pomades are oil-based and heavy, and they use a lot of it.
yeah as a pomade user my self non of that surprised me. and im wiling to bet allot of that is dirt from the ring. Wonder if they have a special in house blend or a mass produced product. I want it in my collection one way or another.
Well after watching this, knowing they only wash their hair once a week probably doesn't help things either.
From Atlanta, Georgia, thank you so much for providing such good knowledge on Sumo. I'm all about sumo right now lol
I would never have believed the head was shaved underneath! 😮
Blimey!They kept that under their hat!😂 "slow hand clap"
i appreciate the unhurried nature of this one, it was nice to see and hear the ambience of Dewanoumi-beya while we watched this master craftsman at work!
So interesting! So I imagine they don’t have to take the extra step of shaving the crown for the rikishi that have thinning hair. This was really fascinating - and quite relaxing to watch. Thank you, Hiro!
Hokutofuji immediately coming to mind😆.
Thanks for showing us the behind the scenes footage here. Interesting. I've heard it takes years for these guys to be trained in doing top knots on rikjshi.
So cool, I didn't know some rikishi had to get shaved like that once in a while. Good music in this one too!
Sumo has known about ASMR effects for centuries it seems :)
Very nice video SPT!
This is excellent - intriguing and also access to the Japanese filmmakers. Thanks team!!!!!
Hiro: love the content. I'm going to cut and past this question on each week's video until you kindly respond:
What can you do to get the Sumo Association to grow with the times in order to grow Sumo? I got hooked on sumo watching Grand Sumo Highlights on NHK world here in the U.S. about 7 years ago. But now I need more. I want to see juryo. I want to see makushita. When these bouts get posted on TH-cam during a basho, they often get taken down for copywrite infringement. I understand that NHK or whoever pays money for the rights and it's their right to hold on to that. So why doesn't either the Association or NHK offer a "pay per view"...where someone could pay somewhere between $10-30 per tournament, get a password, and log in to a website where we can see the entire day's action, and it's up on the site until at least the next basho, or possibly archive it there so fans can go back and compare a rikishi's early-career bouts to today or relive great bouts?
I just fulfilled a dream by going to Osaka to see matches. It was incredible. But I need MORE! please work with them to figure out a way that fans overseas can watch as much action as possible. Thank you for all you do!
This was very educational and fascinating to watch! I also liked the music.
I would love to get my hair done like this, but I'm bald. Ah, well.
That man is an artist! I couldn't live with that much dandruff though lol.
I love this knowledgeable channel. This is something new to me as sumo fans
I knew a little bit about the tokoyama's art but this video provided more in-depth knowledge! Thanks again!
Very cool, I had no idea that was how it is done, thank you hiro and thank you to the the japanese youtube channel team as well as the Dewanoumi stable.
Those cherry blossoms are beautiful! The rikishi's hairdo is fascinating!
Wow very awesome! However I am very concerned for his scalp! He has a serious case of fungus In his scalp. Athletes get this all the time from the sweating and close contact from grappling. Rikisi are probably even more at risk for eczema or fungal infections because of the close quarters they live in at the stable.
That is fascinating! The rikishi are so disciplined. Thank you for this presentation.
What is the song about halfway thru the video? Im in love and wanna hear the whole thing.
wow :) very interesting ! the hairdressers are super skilled
Tbh, this is relaxing to watch
can smb name the 2 tunes?
I wish I had thought about becoming a professional rikishi when I was younger.
wow おもしろいですね！I didn't know that part was shaved.
Hiro, thank you for showing us this very special part of the Rikishi life. Please extend to Dewanosora and the stable and hairdresser the thanks for letting us see this. And your music engineer...thank you. Please share the soundtrack info :) greetings from Abu Dhabi
Cool, when I watched this I thought it would be really nice to have it translated. Thanks!
Please do a video of the fighting top knot hair dressing too!
Thank you for the informative video. Please consider unbanning Natto Sumo or begin uploading matches yourselves. I have been watching sumo for 6 years and don't want to lose it.
I wonder if there is a "hakuho" of the tokoriki, like the goat tokoriki. There must be a ranking of the hairdressers too, like the gyojii. I wonder if there are yokozuna equivalent for the hairdressers of sumo.
They're actually called Tokoyama. They all have their own versions of shikona that all start with "toko." From what I understand, there are five ranks: fifth class through first class, and I think it's just based on years of experience. You have to be a certain level of Tokoyama to work on top division rikishi, and I think only the first class can do the Yokozuna's hair
@@PanaviaSA tokoyama yes. I messed up and put the guys name. I figured there were ranks for them. I wonder who is the best of the tokoyama.
a top notch Topknot .. that was amazing
This was extremely interesting and yet somewhat disturbing.
the dandruff, I think
Very cool thanks
this is the first haircut video i watched on single breath
Great episode ♥️
Incredible video!!
Thank you hiro
Best Channel ever !
Wow, great thanks!
I love this video! It's so oddly satisfying, especially seeing how the barber cuts a perfect circle in the rikishi's hair😆. Thanks for posting this on here with English subtitles! It's nice getting more context on what was being done.
wish i could get my hand on the pomade that they use! add it to my collection
Felt like I was watching a 90’s era “art films”, with the 90’s era guitar riffs that used to be on all those horrible “Art Films”. Hahaha
I'd like to see more (really all) videos from the Japanese language channel translated here. The youtube auto translate function doesn't work very well and in many cases not at all.
Where can we watch sumo basho with English commentary in TH-cam ?
I had no idea the top of the heads are shaved 😮
This seriously reminds me of the fight between Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman in Kill Bill.
6:10 Spoon cat!
Why is everything Japanese do is perfect?
fascinating, I never knew they had to shave their heads underneath the top knot.
However, I could never live with a scalp in that condition with this amount of heavy, huge-flaky dandruff ( and I don't think it's very healthy either concerning fungi, excema, etc) Oo Is there any reason why Rikish only wash their hair once a week?
It really baffles me, as their training is really exhausting and they are sweating like crazy every day, so why would they not wash their hair? And if it was any other country I'd think it would be because it's so much effort to do the top knot anew every day, but concerning Japan, they are the country of things like tea ceremony, everthing that is done typically traditionally Japanese is
done with lots of effort and love to detail, so why would they not do it every day with washing the hair and doing the knot anew?
Lastly, I just have to mention that the hairdresser is quite a handsome man =)
Perhaps some Head & Shoulders is in order?
Wow!
Good.
What is the guitar solos name
What about the little fan-like topknot?
How often do they wash their hair?
I believe they said once per week
I wonder if all rikishi get the hair-shaving treatment, or just the ones with especially thick hair. I've seen pictures of some rikishi with their hair down, and it didn't look like their crowns were shaved.
Not all sumo wrestlers shave the top of their heads. It is only necessary for those with thicker and more hair to do so.
It's a shock for me here ahah
It reminds me of peeling an artichoke
海外ニキが求めてた英語翻訳助かる
助かりました！とても便利です！ﾍﾟｺ
Why do they shave the circle in the back rather than shaving the front like you see in pictures from 19th century Japan?
Very cool. But the music was oddly... sensual.
What happened if you want to be a sumo but you’re loosing your hair ??like imagine a child growing up wanting to be a sumo but becomes bold in his early 20s lol😅
おもしろかった。びくり！
Looks like the Rikishi needs some dandruff shampoo. I'm sure using pomade as much as they do must wreak havoc on their scalps. My grandfather used pomade every day and he had real bad dandruff.
Hiro, I regret to inform you I have felt immeasurable anger at his video.
When the rikishi's hair was initially split into two halves at 2:20, I expected to see a high-level sumo wrestler in fancy pig-tails or braids.
I did not.
I am now enraged at this sleight and will have to reduce myself to watching your videos only four (4) times a day instead of five.
I am nonplussed.
Virgin coconut oil is less dirty than pomade.
😮
Wait every rikishi with a topknot has their hair shaved in the middle?!
No, just the ones who have too much, dense hair. Their topknot wouldn't look nice.
No, only those blessed with the thick locks.
@@Janka007 so basically only those who are lucky to not have male pattern baldness lol
And leave the dandruff?
they dont wash the hair?!
I had no idea they were rocking shaved scalp underneath there! Really cool how they style the hair and are keeping these traditions alive. I'd also like to point out how disappointing some of these comments are. I'm not a hair stylist or medical professional and have no idea what other possible regiments they're doing for his hair so I won't comment on it. Also, it's just rude. Sometimes you need to keep comments to yourself.
Terrific new insight. Thank you. But don't they ever wash their hair? The flecks of dirt and dandruff was disgusting!
Once a week.
Y is his SCALP SO DRY
Why?!
Very satisfying to watch.
No gloves?
YIKES! The amount of dandruff that piles up. 🤮
