[sumo] Mito Komon

[Jim Bitgood]

While checking the website for my favorite Japanese TV program, I 
found sumo. Without actually reading the synopsis in Japanese, just 
looking at the pictures on the "Mito Komon" website, I am guessing 
that the episode of the program that will be broadcast on October 23 
(8pm Japan Time) with have a sumo theme. Quickly scanning the TBS 
webpage shows the kanji for "Sumo" in several places including the 
title. The web page is at: http://www.tbs.co.jp/mito/mito36/story/index-j.html
The setting this week is a place named "Izumo" makes me think 
somebody is playing games with the title (which includes the word 
"Sumo" and the location. So for all the sumo fans living in Japan, if 
you have nothing else to do next Monday evening, you can get a little 
sumo by watching "Mito Komon."
If anyone on the list is in Japan is a fan of Mito Komon (I have a 
few MK souvenirs from a very short visit to Mito City), could someone 
possibly tape the program and send it to me. I will pay exhorbitantly 
for a recording. (Please reply to me off the list, thank you).
Oh, did I mention it was my favorite TV program when I lived in Chitose?
