Just heard the sad news today 4/10/2024 RIP TOO AKEBONO LEGEND RIP MAN PLAYED THIS SONG AS SOON AS I SAW THA 6 O'CLOCK NEWS 😔 MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY 🙏🏾🩵💯
I was recently at the Sumo Finals in Tokyo. I bought a handmade shirt before the match. I had to leave early because I was doing stand-up in Shibuya. While I was leaving, a man tells me, "Hey, that's me on your shirt! Lemme sign it!" I walked up shook his hand, and asked if he was Hawaiian and played ukulele. He says, "Look me up. Konishiki." As I looked him up, he smiled and said, there's Michael Jordan, there's LeBron, and then there's me. He signed my shirt, we grabbed a picture, spoke about Hawaii and ukulele, and then parted ways. When I told people I met a man named Konishiki, they were blown away. I was told about this legend and was introduced to this song. I'm glad I left early that day because I got to meet a Sumo hero.
Ahh, the vocals that were sampled in Soichi Terada's tracks on Sumo Jungle Grandeur. Such a beautiful voice, and a real harmonic track. National heroes, Famous idols, in Japan.
3 Giants, from a tiny island in the middle of the ocean, traveled far to reach the rank of Gods… We are very proud of what they’ve accomplished in the sumo world, may their names reign throughout all of time🙏🏽
You were privileged and I have known some HI royalty and wonder if he was too. They are very special and and an amazing cultural and very respectful of females too and that is one of the things I really appreciate about them.
I fell asleep listening to some random hit song and woke up to this. I can't believe I haven't discovered this guy sooner! He is pure gold, gives such peace to mind and soul.
i remember listening to this on channel 12 on Zapit, Those nights i couldn't sleep, i would hear this song, Calm and soothing. Bruddah Iz, The best singer i've heard my whole life.
Because there are many Japanese on the Island or at least there used to be and like AK they have tried to take over the Islands economy at one time. I had a friend who was half Japanese and from there and she taught me a lot of things
Just listened to this after listening to Soichi Terada's Sumo Jungle Grandeur and man... What an great album that was and what an amazing song this was to sample from
Gentle Giants from the countryside Waimanalo, Nanakuli, and Waianae They are the champions, in a foreign land National heroes, famous idols in Japan Chorus Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki They have traveled, thousand miles away Sometimes lonely, far away from family All have conquered, a dream that seemed impossible With dignity, they are Hawai'i sumotori Repeat Chorus They made history, heard around the world On the radio, television and magazine Let's go celebrate, and honor these mighty ones These are the champions, heroes for the young and the old Repeat Chorus These are the champions, they are Hawai'i sumotori Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki Repeat National heroes, famous idols in Japan Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki Repeat Chorus Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki
I'm a haole born and raised in Hawaii. When asked where I'm from I always answer Hawaii and never USA. As much as I love and appreciate the USA I will always view Hawaii as it's own sovereign land as it should be
For all you Haoles out dere he’s singing about 3 Sumotori who were born and raised here in Hawaii, and became champions in the sport. Iz is just paying tribute to these 3 men with this great song. Fakas I see all da Haoles think this is all about Japan and Hawaii and WWll cuz they no understand

横綱・曙のご冥福をお祈りいたします🙏
安らかに
曙.小錦.武蔵丸共のハワイ出身の力士の事を唄ったハワイアンらしい癒し系の和む楽曲､本当にいい曲ですね。この名曲の動画も本当にどうも有難うございます。
曙の訃報はshockです😢。最近ずっと曙の情報がなかったからどうなったのかと思えば闘病中だったで本当にshockです😢。でこの名曲を聴いて曙の冥福を祈ります✨🍀。
曙に献杯
小錦さんは今元気かな✨?!小錦さんの親御さんは60代で亡くなったから✕😣､小錦さんはご存じ現役時代は相撲界1の巨乳😋力士で､ダボダボに超太り過✕😱で膝上迄贅肉😋出来て象みたいな足🥶になってその贅肉等も含めて脂身こってりで旨そうな巨体😋(こんがり焼た身体であんパンとか鏡餅等美味しい食べ物をぶくっと超デカク膨らませてブヨブヨ巨乳😋が後ろ迄周込だ身体付だった😋)だったからとヨタヨタ歩きだから心配になる訳だが✨。
曙さん､享年54才はまだ若過て残念でならないです😖。格闘家として第2の人生にもう1花咲せて欲かっただけにです✨😖。
曙ありがとう❣️
ご冥福をお祈りいたします🙏
曙太郎 残念です。ゆっくりお休み下さい！

I'm Japanese, but when I was little I grew up listening to this song played by my father, who loved Hawaii. RIP Akebono😢🙏
曙太郎殿、安らかなれ。
Sayonara Akebono. R.I.P.
Rest in Aloha, Akebono
「ハワイ出身のお相撲さんを忘れてはならないよ。曙、武蔵丸、エン小錦」このフレーズで泣く時が在ります。
曙さん、素敵な思い出をありがとう御座いました。
Muy triste la perdida de akebeno. En paz descanse leyenda del sumo
R.I.P. Akebono.
RIP AKEBONO TOO SOON TO BE GONE

National heroes,
Famous idols, in Japan.
１９９５年の山下達郎の「サンデイソングブック」の名物企画「珍盤奇盤怪盤特集」で
この歌を知りました。確か歌っておられる方もとうに故人でしたね。訃報の際も山下
達郎はちゃんとこの歌を流しました。曙関は、若貴と共に文字通り“時代を作った人”
でした。心よりご冥福をお祈りいたします。武蔵とコニちゃんには長生きしてほしい。
私も高見山とコニチャン&武蔵丸共には長生きして欲いです✨。
今日も流してましたよ
ありがとう！さっそくラジコ聴きに行きます
謎にFMが聞きたい年頃で、学校が休みの土曜日。当時は小学生でした。
歌っている人が「太りすぎてﾀﾋんだ」って言ったエピソードまで記憶しています。
あ、私も山下達郎のラジオから聞いてこっち来ました
Akebono…R.I.P
R.I.P. Akebono
癒されるなぁ~
3 Giants, from a tiny island in the middle of the ocean, traveled far to reach the rank of Gods… We are very proud of what they’ve accomplished in the sumo world, may their names reign throughout all of time🙏🏽
Im sitting here in Germany and i know there legend, there famous all around the world.
I've been listening to Sumo Jungle since I was young and now I find this!
I knew this man personally years ago......His heart for people was as big as HIM!
i believe you. its so sad that he died :(
You were privileged and I have known some HI royalty and wonder if he was too. They are very special and and an amazing cultural and very respectful of females too and that is one of the things I really appreciate about them.
wow....what a privilege to have known him
I remember going to his funeral as a very little keiki. I was a bit scared at the time, but now I know how important it was. ❤
lucky!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The is the source sampled for Soichi Terada's Sumo Jungle. He's the composer of Ape Escape and Ape Escape 3.
曙さん安らかに
His moment was short, but his memory is forever. Rare treat to stumble upon...👏👍
I fell asleep listening to some random hit song and woke up to this. I can't believe I haven't discovered this guy sooner! He is pure gold, gives such peace to mind and soul.
Me too!
I remember my tutu used to listen to this song a lot when she took me to school. Missing her so much right now, thank god I found this. Mahalo~
Man, what a life these 3 legends have led. It's too bad Akebono would have to compete in circus fights after his retirement :(
The spirit that is IZ will always live on. He lives in the hearts of all of us who love him.
His singing always make my heart glad and I hope to meet him one day in another life
Just fucking amazing!!! IZ could say anything in any language and it would sound beautiful!!
ハワイのワイキキトロリーの運転手が歌ってて頭から離れません
i remember listening to this on channel 12 on Zapit, Those nights i couldn't sleep, i would hear this song, Calm and soothing. Bruddah Iz, The best singer i've heard my whole life.
I love sumo so much, this song is so wholesome.
曙さんのご冥福をお祈りいたします。
Rest easy Hawaiian
RIP Akebono.
Absolutely beautiful...I keep coming back to listen his songs. It's so soothing. I wish that this world even had a percent of his soul.
Sample hunting is fun because you find out where pieces of a song comes from and sometimes you can find something that's good even on its own.
I haven't heard this song since I was a little kid in Hawai'i.
Loving and caring man was he. His music is beautiful, loving and peaceful to listen to.
Akebono Mushashimaru and Konoshiki are from Hawaii and are former sumo wrestlers. That's why he's singing about them.
Alika Kea Why? Sumo is not the national sport of Hawaii. Having a good time is.
No shit it's not. But they are both representatives of Hawaii in the sport. So why not make a song about them?
Why are you questioning a song by our Hawaiian super man? Just listen to the song and enjoy it.
I just recognized the Japanese language. I just ask why is this Hawaiian superman singing in Japanese?
Because there are many Japanese on the Island or at least there used to be and like AK they have tried to take over the Islands economy at one time. I had a friend who was half Japanese and from there and she taught me a lot of things
曙、武蔵丸&小錦～
Wow really like the melody. Can really chill to this one xx
Sumo legends for sure. IZ in another life probably would’ve been a great sumo wrestler..
好きやわ
digne représentent de la métropole par la douceur de ses chants
I love his music, to sad hes is no longer here to make more of his beautiful songs.
Just listened to this after listening to Soichi Terada's Sumo Jungle Grandeur and man... What an great album that was and what an amazing song this was to sample from
Amo muito!!! Canto feliz, voz limpa, harmoniosa. Morreu tão cedo, uma grande perda
Rest in blessed peace, Bruddah Iz.
Mahalo nui

Sometimes lonely, far away from family
All have conquered, a dream that seemed impossible
With dignity, they are Hawai'i sumotori

They made history, heard around the world
On the radio, television and magazine
Let's go celebrate, and honor these mighty ones
These are the champions, heroes for the young and the old
Repeat Chorus
These are the champions, they are Hawai'i sumotori
Akebono, Musashimaru and Konishiki
