Following a really nasty fall, I have been immobile, and find myself
desperately seeking sumo on NHK. Just got through watching "Two
Opposite Youths Meet". The intro would lead one to believe that it is
a confrontational reality show pitting rival gang members, however it
turned out to be a story of a teenage girl being challenged to leave
her sophisticated setting somewhere in Japan to travel to Hokaido to
work on a dairy farm. Her "opposite" was a young man who worked daily
from 5am at the "Hollywood Heifers" dairy farm. It was the cleanest
dairy farm I have ever seen. She dug in right beside him, and in the
end as I think he was telling her how much he loved the cows we were
both weeping. I recognized the word "yokozuna" and "dohyo" in the
Japanese dialogue but it was uttered (no pun) by the cat.
12 hours and counting to sumo.
