Love Japan. Greeting from Malaysia.

[@Swoost]

can we just appreciate this: in world war 2, the king of the united kingdom was an important figurehead. a symbol of unity and history but still subservient to the actual democratic system of rule. in ww2, the emperor was supreme, a god-like figure, a complete representation of the people's will and the vigor of the japanese. in such short a time, the relative power of the japanese emperor has reduced to the level of britain or even below it in terms of actual law, and everyone accepts this including the new emperor himself. this is exactly what he was born to do, and someone had to do it. the japanese revere their current emperor at the same level as the british revere their queen, it is a representation of their culture and history, and that's what he represents, and how he earns revenue for the japanese state. so in terms of what he is doing for his country, i can only say bonzai!

This clip is set to a weirdly unsuitable piece of music at the start.

Western clothes and hairstyles don't honor Japan much. I've been in love with the Japanese culture since I was a kid

[@VV_PaVria]

If it helps, the (now-former) Emperor wore Japanese regalia for the private abdication ceremony earlier that day. And Japanese emperors have been shown wearing Western clothing since 1868.

BBC World here in Japan: Those BBC clowns mispronounce and/or mis-stress just about every Japanese proper noun,

[@supernoodles908]

How long before the monarchy abdicates. I can't see William wanting to be king in a modern world

[@JumboVerseCEO]

Go watch Ancient Greece My dad told me Ancient Greece is ruled By Republic.

[@ishizuci0103]

„Heisei” na zawsze.

[@muse5853]

They (The Sun) are so insensitive... using such a strange music that is totally absurd to Japanese people!

[@handywijaya3689]

3:16 I'm not happy with Naruhito's wife sinister smile. Something tells me this isn't right

[@olivecho]

because she is in depression for years, that is a smile with dignity and humble, rather than a sinister one.

[@JumboVerseCEO]

The first time i saw i tought that she was ugly but when i learned she had a rough life i feel sorry for her. And i apologize for an insult like that.
