NHK posts a video with English language commentary after a delay of a day or so, it will be linked here when they do.

SPOILERS IN COMMENTS OK!
Glad to have stumbled across this community. This was my first time watching a basho, and what a great one it was! Already counting the days till July. Seeing all the ceremonies was very interesting, I feel like I learned a lot about the sport and its history across the 15 days.
I really wanted to see Onosato achieve perfection, but man, what an incredible performance either way.
Glad you joined us! Every upvote was another reason to keep posting.
