It looks like the highlight show I watch on my cable channel. It shows every match for the top division, just none of the rituals or anything.

This is actually the way I was first exposed to Sumo. This English commentary version of it on their channel, so it's cool to see it that way if no other way.

I always loved what Natto did with his channel as he has all the stats between the 2 combatants and all kinds of other interesting stats.

But the English commentary version will at least keep me posted on days I miss, and I appreciate that greatly Prime.

Nhk are upgrading their online video platform so like last might, some of their highlights might not work properly but its temp.
