> Terunofuji next-day interview:
> 
> Q: It's been a day since your yusho. How are you feeling?
> 
> A:  I am relieved.
> 
> Q: Is this yusho as a shin-Yokozuna different from your other yushos?
> 
> A: No, nothing is different.
> 
> Q: Before the basho, you were talking about a Yokozuna's responsibility.
> 
> A: I feel that as someone at the very top of the rankings, I need to have a sense of responsibility.
> 
> Q: These fifteen days, your calm sumo was very conspicuous.
> 
> A: It really doesn't help to think too much. I was thinking that I have to bring what i did in training to the basho itself.
> 
> Q: You suffered two losses in the second half of the basho. How did you manage to change your feelings?
> 
> A: What happens on a certain day happens on a certain day and it's over. I just faced the next day as a new day.
> 
> Q: Were you able to act accordingly to the words you used in your Yokozuna promotion ceremony "steadfastness"?
> 
> A: Not only during the fifteen days, but even now I'm acting according to it, and I want to continue realizing it in the future.
> 
> Q: You followed Kisenosato' shin-Yokozuna yusho back in March 2017 with your own shin-Yokozuna yusho this basho. You were involved in the yusho race back then as well.  Was this a continuation of that experience?
> 
> A: No, it was totally different from that basho. There is nothing to continue from back then. I was just concentrating on doing what I had to do this basho.
> 
> Q: What do you expect from the next basho, your second basho as a Yokozuna?
> 
> A: I will face it seriously one day at a time and gambarize so that I can show a good result again.
> 
> Q: Will you be treating your knees now?
> 
> A: I will be consulting with my doctors on what to do.
> 
> Q: When did you get used to doing the Yokozuna dohyo-iri?
> 
> A: I'm still not happy with it. I'm not sure I'll ever be happy with it..
> 
> Q: I've heard doing the dohyo-iri is like having two bouts, burden-wise..
> 
> A: During the dohyo iri I have everyone's full attention so I was able to do it with a positive sense of anxiety..
> 
> Q: Hakuhou intends to retire..
> 
> A: I still haven't seen anything about it..
