Takeru Kobayashi has updated his blog for the first time since his release from jail: (automatically translated)

It may sound sacrilegious, has experience in jail was an interesting feeling.

After his release, for press, lawyers and other meetings, I was followed by a busy day, has been finally settled down a bit.

I want to tell you there is a lot, and this is very fine, thank you.
But it just wanted to tell.

    He thanks people for all of their support saying that he has read everyone’s comments and received people’s well wishes. The rest is fairly clear even with automatic translation. The reference to jail is that unlike people might think, his experience was interesting. (One reporter wrote or said during an interview that he said that his “company” was very nice, someone showed him how to use a toilet paper roll for a pillow).

    So many “hot dogs and buns in jail” jokes to be made here, but I won’t stoop that level. (But I sure hope someone does.)

    It gets lost in the auto translation, but he’s saying that he was so busy with press activity leading up to the contest that he only slept 3 hours a night during that period, so the night in jail allowed him to relax and catch up on his sleep.

    What we consider royalty in CE , Japan might think just the opposite. What does that tell you about his formal or lack of education if he never bothered to take the time out to learn the english language

    What an absolute disgrace that not one person that competed in Coney Island bothered to come to the aid of Kobayashi while he was being roughed up by one of the Nathans big shots and police. Just stood there and watched. Very nobel of you. Patronize him but you won’t help him
