    In the case of a major upset, spectators can throw floats instead of cushions.

    sumo is dying, wherever you put it

    To make the beach sumo popular, they have to invite Kotooshu on the beach. It is so simple.

  • LoveUSA at 05:33 PM JST - 4th July

    ps: I think that beach sumo is a great idea.

    One sumo step for man, one giant leap for mankind. Beach sumo has possibilites...I like the idea.

    That's just gross!

    Looking at the picture, I can see why they developed the manzier (bra for men).

    how to fight global warming.

    when are people going to realize that you can't fight global warming?

  • OssanAmerica at 01:58 AM JST - 5th July

    Excellent idea. Participants are already dressed to hit the beach anyway.

    A lot of foreigners (especially us Aussies and Americans) have just the physique to have a real crack at this! It's a great idea and may just play a part in helping Sumo fight back and survive...the sport needs any help it can get!

  • neverknow2 at 11:15 PM JST - 7th July

    as a sport to promote the healthy development of children

    Did anyone else see this?? Being a big fat man and healthy development are used in the same sentence and it wasn't a comedy line!

    Japanese beaches are often deserted except during the summer and are on the decline due to rising sea levels caused by global warming.

    They forgot to mention erosion produced by excessive construction and concreting of beaches, polluted water and those awful tetrapods splattered across the shores (which INCREASE the waves rather than break them).

    Except for a couple of all right places in Kyushu, Japan has the Fugliest beaches ever.
