Tuan Jim    I just,
from the bunny suit to the close ups of the granny gym shorts to the whole "cute girl wedgie-violated by a fat sumo woman" thing...

Unmerciful Crushing Force     They're hostesses. They get paid ridiculous amounts by drunken salaryman to have some chit-chat and, if the price is high enough, casual sex. We're talking like $300/400-in-your-pocket-nightly.
Yet they get all giddy over going on a sumo competition and winning $1000.
And the first gal takes classical ballet and studied abroad in Sweden...
Good christ this country depresses me sometimes.

teethsalad fun fact: if a woman so much as touches a actual dohyo (ring), they completely destroy it and build a new one. they're considered impure because they menstruate. oh, japan, you so crazy.
there was a huge problem in osaka when the female mayor was supposed to give one of the trophies to the tournament winner @ the haru basho in osaka a few years back.
also, in the 1700's-1800's, whorehouses regularly had topless sumo tournaments between the whores to drum up business, until that marketing ploy was banned

Riskbreaker "until that marketing ploy was banned"
If there's a tradition that needs to revive, that's the one dammit.
