Fairies and sumo, oh my

What are these two sounds in We Love Katamari Reroll?

What are the Tinkerbell-like fairies saying when you roll them up? It sounds like a phrase, but maybe it's just an exclamation? Hear it starting at 0:40-0:60.

What is the noise that the sumo wrestler makes when he rolls things up? Hear it here, starting at 0:40. It sounds like "tuckus" and it can't be that, can it? Is it just a version of a slurp or chomp noise?

Best answer: The sound the sumo wrestler is making is "gottsan desu," a sumo-specific way of saying "thank you." The fairy bit I'm not sure, but if you mean the "yosei yooo" exclamation, that means "it's a fairy!" in Japanese.

Response by poster: Thank you, it was really bugging me that I couldn't figure it out.
