Must be him or Adams as they were the only 2 on stage I think. Adams had a perplexed look on his face.

Nicho has been to Japan several times to play soft tip and knows Suzuki.

14k watching her game on Youtube and that was a worldwide figure. Someone remind me what the population of Japan is?

No TV outside of these places. I watched most of the afternoon sessions on the YT stream, there was was usually anywhere between 3-8k watching at a time (with Suzuki's games being towards the higher end of this), though I can't remember off the top of my head how many were watching her final. It's fairly consistent with any streamed event with Japanese interest, there's a noticeable rise in viewers, but nothing spectacular

I don't remember the final figures off the top of my head, but none of the figures from the afternoon sessions before that reached that

So then...it wasnt on telly in Japan, and there were probably 10k (as an absolute max) watching it in Japan on YouTube at the time.
And this all means there will now be a darts boom in Japan.
I must admit, this is very bizarre logic.

I didn't see it to be honest only read someone said the highest number of viewers was achieved during the Suzuki match and that it was a lot more than during any other match.Mensur Suljovic Fan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 11:01 amI don't remember the final figures off the top of my head, but none of the figures from the afternoon sessions before that reached that

Would be curious if it starts hitting some newspapers in Asia now through AP etc.

No, we have established newspaper coverage is irrelevant.

Did a quick scan on press reader and found three hits in Asia from this morning's papers.

A whole three hits on a continent with a population of 4.46bn, you say?

If it wasn't for social media the people of Japan would never have heard about Naomi Osaka's US Open victory.

The darts companies should be working overtime, making all these steel tip darts that will be bought over there.
