She also has a deep love for sumo karaoke singers. Laurie is fascinated by sumo wrestler fandom, the sumo training regimen and physicality of the sport. Together, we serve up exciting sumo treats for sumo-curious fans. We share an enthusiasm for sumo and like all sisters, we work amazingly well together. All of the time. There are never any issues.

We saw just how popular Onosato is. We saw just how beautiful Abi's shiko is. We met so many lovely people. Hear all about it on this episode.
