Akiyama needs to go on Sesame Street as a public service to teach kids how to fight by submitting Big Bird.

That’s a great idea. He could teach kids how to wear a suit properly, how to be cool and then could end his appearance by choking out that whiny Big Bird.

There seems to be a little confusion here. The music that Akiyama is using is “Time to Say Goodbye” which is Andrea Bocelli’s biggest hit and was first sung by him and Sarah Brightman for Herman Maske’s farewell fight in Germany. The words were changed so that Andrea could sing “Time to Say Goodnight” to Elmo.
