I guess it is good though that the Macdonalds ads are in the format of the banner held by a traditionally dressed fellow? It has not gone all plasma screen :) I recommend the sumo as a very fun thing to go and see. Simon, Allison, hiki – Don’t let the Macdonalds ads put any of you guys off!

I've heard that the sumo matches (or shows?) are really entertaining and I recently became interested in going but haven't got the chance. Apparently it's hard to get tickets, that's what I heard but maybe in Tokyo that is i don't know. and yes those McDonald's ads kind of put me off too! Now you know A LOT more than sumo than I am!

I agree with Simon, its disappointing how invasive advertising can be. Nice photos though, I like "Stay in Bed" : ) Oh my goodness, way to reassert those cultural traditions with the McDonald’s sponsorship.

I'd had the impression of sumo still being quite traditional and untouched (aside from Asash≈çry≈´'s trangressions) The McDonalds branding is quite sad!
