[sumo] SFM April issue

[Lon Howard]

SUMO FAN MAGAZINE -

Here's an introduction to the April issue, now online at  
www.sumofanmag.com:

As ever, a large large range of articles in English, French, German  
and Spanish for your reading pleasure, including:

a couple of very interesting features on the NHK/NSK/NHK relationship  
down the years, and the oldest living (former) yokozuna of the  
present day Wakanohana II (oftentimes called I by most).

In addition, we have yet another sekitori (former ozeki this one)  
interview and look like adding more in the coming issues thanks to  
the improved linguistic options a new staffer brings to SFM, and the  
most thorough wrap up - in text and image form of the Haru Basho you  
will see anywhere online thanks to LH and CT.

Oh, and just to whet your appetite for the Natsu event around the  
corner... take a look at AH's views on who to keep an eye on come the  
second Sunday in May.

Amasumo fans meanwhile can enjoy the second half of the interview  
with THE MAN Manny Y - courtesy our own HG - SFer and probably the  
most informed individual out there on things amateur, and we would  
never be fully complete without our usual delve into what made fans -  
of the fans. This time out we feature a Japanese woman from south  
Japan herself a one time sumo winner, and a 92-year-old man who  
recalls seeing a long dead yokozuna coming to his town.

Much much more as ever - the above being just the tip of the SFM  
multi-lingual iceberg.

Enjoy, and let us know what you think by way of the mail links on the  
page.
