Кисеносато дал интервью.
А где можно глянуть / прочитать?
От Кинтамаямы, на английском.
Q: What was your mental state when you retired?
A: As Kisenosato, I had no regrets. As Hagiwara (his real name) I have a lot of regrets. Because I love sumo, the fact that I can't do it anymore is sad. I wanted to continue till I was 40.
Q: Please reflect on your 17 years of sumo.
A: If you look at the last part of my career the results were pathetic so I had to retire, but I joined the very strict Naruto beya and was able to make it to Juryo very quickly. Looking at the whole of my career, I had a good sumo life and am very happy about it.
Q: Your thoughts on your Yokozuna promotion?
A: The moment I first put on the tsuna rope, I was so happy that all my emotions exploded at once..I felt an indescribable burden. As a Japanese, it was the ultimate feeling. I was constantly in a dream state-the dohyo iri, everything- I was truly happy. I guess the fact I managed to become a Yokozuna is why I have no regrets..
Q: The injury you got in your first basho as a Yokozuna-the left pectoral muscle- that was important..
A: In my bout against Harumafuji on day 13 I heard a snapping sound. I was aiming for a left tsukiotoshi -I will never forget that sound. It felt like my left arm got detached from my body.the pain was great accordingly, and there was a detachment..
Q: Your entry two bashos after your injury backfired.
A: Up to that point, I missed only one day of sumo my entire career, so I couldn't grasp the idea of sitting out. If I would have known that I'd sit out 4 more bashos and decide Hatsu was the decisive basho.. If I could turn back time, I'd like to go back two years to April. I would then think carefully about undergoing surgery or not.
Q: What was your state of mind when you decided that January would be the make or break basho?
A: I usually fall asleep two seconds after I get into my futon.. I could hardly sleep before the basho. I used to dream I bought a suit (a sign of retirement..) and wake up sweating. "Not true, not true!! Not good , not good!", I would tell myself.
Q: Still, before the basho you said you were in good shape.
A: I had to sound optimistic, and I guess I was running away from the truth. There were nights when the thought that I would not be able to continue doing sumo I love so much scared me so that I would sigh heavily.
Q: You were Yokozuna for two years.
A: It took me 15 years to become Yokozuna, but these last two years seemed longer..Being a Yokozuna is something special. It was a different world..
Q: What do you want your rikishi to be like?
A: Like the image of rikishi in the past. I don't want them going on TV and on the internet making fools of themselves. I'd like them to quietly go about their sumo lives and become famous, like the rikishi from the Showa era.
Q: What is your image of yourself as an Oyakata?
A: As opposed to when I was active, I will be voicing my opinions and thoughts, because if I don't, I will be letting down the parents who sent their kids to the heya into our custody. It's important to voice my opinion. I shall gambarize for the sake of the Kyokai and for the sake of the active rikishi. It's important to learn, so i'm buying a lot of books on philosophy, novels and education.
