Japanese Culture Meets Pop Music: “Dosukoi Dosukoi” – A Song for Sumo and the Spirit Within

🎵 Dosukoi Dosukoi – The Sumo Song, The Rikishi’s Song
Track from the CD “Let’s Play!”


🇯🇵 Japanese Culture × Pop Song

When I was a child, my father was a big sumo fan,
and we would often watch intense sumo matches at home.

But it wasn’t until recently that I truly began to feel
the spiritual depth of sumo.

From the initial charge (tachi-ai),
a whole life’s determination is compressed into just a few seconds.
Watching rikishi dedicate themselves to this sacred way moved me deeply.

Sumo wrestlers in the ring during a match at Ryogoku Kokugikan, watched by a large audience and photographers

I wrote this song to express that respect and emotion—
and to help bring sumo, a unique Japanese tradition,
closer to people around the world.

✨ A Battle Cry from the Soul

To me, “Dosukoi” is not just a cheer from the ring—
it's a mantra. A chant from the soul to face the unseen self.

No matter the day, when I feel like giving up,
I quietly say to myself:

Dosukoi! Dosukoi!!
With courage, I take one step forward.
