>> Day  5:  
>> 
>> Shoudai, second loss, today to Okinoumi: "I couldn't generate any power at the tachiai. My upper body went high really quickly. I've been doing badly against him lately (three straight losses)  and I think I was overly conscious of it in my sumo today and that was a bad influence on my sumo.. I think the content is good if I do a proper tachiai, and I need to concentrate more than usual so I can see to it that a tachiai like today won't repeat itself," he offered.
>> 
>> Takayasu, having an under 37 minute bout for a change and beating Houshouryuu: "I was able to go at it intensely today. Short sumo is the best sumo, right? This kind of intense and quick sumo should lead to tomorrow as well. I'm having some difficult bouts, but I will gambarize and will aim to do more intense sumo. The first part is over and I hope that the middle part will continue well," he said.
>> 
>> Abi, living away from home at the heya (still living there even though the punishment is over, away from his wife and small daughter) after getting punished for tomfoolery and on a 5-0 start: "I'm not too conscious of the numbers. I want to get that Makuuchi kachikoshi I will be able to say to myself 'well done' and return home.  At this point, all I'm thinking about is sumo, Today, I didn't want to let my opponent near my belt. I wanted to keep him at bay at the distance I like. That was all I was thinking about. It's important to win, but I feel it's important for me to show that I'm healthy. I just want to do better and better sumo. My mental state and my circumstances are totally different from when i was last in Makuuchi. I think I am earnestly immersing myself in sumo,"  he said.
>> 
>> Terunofuji, five straight wins, although he had a scare there for a second: "I think it was good. I was calm.."
>> 
>> Tochinoshin, entering the basho on day 5 after back spasms forced him to stay out so far: "My lower back is much better. I was really depressed while I was out and did not watch any sumo.."
>> 
>> Ura, 4-1 now: " We've only just begun. I don't need a carpenter. I don't know how all this will end.."
>> 
>> Shimanoumi, getting the nod from the gyoji, but the decision was overturned with a monoii, so no first win just yet this basho: "I lost, but I managed to have a good tachiai and moved forward. The content is getting better day by day.."
>> 
>> Ounoshou, five straight losses: "My feet are not moving well. I'm just trying to do attacking sumo.."
>> 
>> Meisei, third win, beating Kiribayama: "I was pushed back, but I was able to be patient. I'm able to concentrate and do good sumo.."
>> 
>> Wakatakakage . beating his college senpai Mitakeumi: " I patiently attacked from under. I'm giving it all I have!" (Has anyone else noticed that in every single interview he has, he mentions the "attacking from under" thingy?)
>> 
>> Takanoshou, beaten by Terunofuji: "I knew that if I don't constantly move around I have no chance. I stopped moving and that was bad.."
>> 
>> Tobizaru, beating Aoiyama who is 60 kilos heavier than him in a looong bout: "I'm tired. Bushed. Spent. It's good to be able to win long bouts."
>> 
>> Takakeishou, beating Myougiryuu and going 5-0: "The weather is good and I am able to concentrate while feeling good.."
>> 
>> Daieishou, stopping his losing streak at three, beating Ichinojou: "My hands and feet responded well. I hope to be able to ride this feeling from here on. I want to properly go about it eac and every day!"
