Thanks, Kodaiyama, for the context on Chis’ videos.  Always good to have more sources of info and kudos to him for persistence and commitment in putting it all together.

And for Carol, I don't know a lot about Chris' personal life other than I believe he is an English teacher in Japan.  He has been posting sumo videos for around ten years, almost all his own recordings.  He had a run of basho last year where he attended in person all day every day and recorded bouts, interviews, arrivals, etc., so he has many hours of video to use.  Since he was using his own footage, he didn't have the copyright problems that have caused other channels including Moti's to be deleted. He said on his channel that he was not going to be able to continue daily videos as it was too time consuming and too expensive.  Imagine attending a basho for 8 hours then going home or to your hotel, editing a half hour summary video then uploading it to YouTube then doing it all over for 14 more days.  It would be very tiresome.  You can go back on his channel and watch old videos if you want.
