"I'm kind of surviving at the tachiai as a whole and doing 'receiving' sumo.. Not good. I had a feeling overall that things were somehow going my way. I just couldn't get that first step in.."</p><p>Abi, six straight wins:, winning by tokkurinage, a kimarite seen in Makuuchi only for the second time ever: "It was the first time I did that since turning pro. It was accidental.. My body was moving well so I guess i just followed it. I want to do good movement sumo tomorrow as well.."</p><p>Terunofuji, 6-0 as well: "I think the quality of sumo was good. There's no use in hurrying things, so i was thinking I should do what needs to be done..I'm thinking my body is moving well and I'm also thinking I'd like to gambarize for the rest of the basho."</p><p>Shouhouzan, struggling in Makuuchi with five losses: "Seems I've been doing everything as usual. I've still got a lot to give. No use making any changes at this point. I think I want to go on with the feeling that everything is as usual.."</p><p>Yutakayama, beaten by Chiyotairyuu: "I was totally beaten at the first step. It became my opponent's game. I feel I'm going nowhere, treading water. If I overthink this these losses will pile up. I just want to think about tomorrow."</p><p>Hokutofuji, two straight losses after starting the basho with four straight wins: "The balance between my my upper and lower body was not good. Tomorrow I'm facing a rikishi who is in good shape (Abi) so I need to properly do my own sumo all the way. Win or lose, if I do my own sumo, it will lead to good things."</p><p>Ura, beating ex- Ozeki Takayasu with that leg grab and getting his fifth win: "I really don't think I'm especially in good shape. I'll feel that if I finish the basho with a good record. Right?"</p><p>Tamawashi, five straight wins: "We've only just started so i 'm not thinking about that. I think my hands extended well, but I have no idea what happens next.. I want to continue to do my own sumo all the way!"</p><p>Mitakeumi, winning after an initial henka: "It's because I hesitated. My opponent (Myougiryuu, 6-5 in the past) does well against me so I was a bit lost.. My body is moving well so i think if I continue doing my own sumo in the second half of the basho I'll do well.."</p><p>Meisei, losing today tov Daieishou: "My legs did not move..My chin was high. I'd like to mount the dohyo, properly concentrate and believe in my own sumo!"</p><p>Takanoshou, beating Shoudai after a redo: "I was able to move forward and that was good. It's a big boost for my morale to beat an Ozeki. This will connect to tomorrow..'</p><p>Takakeishou, sixth win, beating Takarafuji easily: "All I can do is properly prepare for each bout every day. You can only have one bout a day. I can only do what I am able to do.. I shall properly concentrate tomorrow as well..."</p><p>Chiyotairyuu, fourth win, three straight, had his birthday on the 14th : "I got a coffee maker as a present and I'm drinking coffee every day and relaxing, and that is good..I used to drink coffee with milk but I am suffering from diabetes so now I've started liking that bitter black coffee.."</p><p>Kotonowaka, winning on his 24th birthday: "If I can do sumo like today, that would be good. I've got to get higher in the ranks.. I want to show how good i really am."</p><p>Wakatakakage, fourth loss, losing to Ounoshou: "I was one step behind. I want to turn things around."</p>
