A fairytale gone wrong, the tragic court life of Empress Michiko of Japan.

The every move of members of royal families from various countries around the world has always been closely watched, and the Japanese imperial family, recognized by the Guinness World Records as the "oldest existing royal family," is certainly no exception. From Emperor Naruhito's love at first sight for Empress Masako to Princess Mako, the eldest daughter of Prince Fumihito, marrying a commoner boyfriend, these have all been hot topics of public interest.
The Japanese Imperial Family has already staged a Cinderella-meets-Prince story, featuring the abdicated Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko's tennis romance. Today, the 88-year-old Empress Michiko has gracefully transformed into a gentle and kind-hearted elderly lady, maintaining her elegance even as she has grown older. However, what might come as a surprise is that despite spending over 60 years together with Emperor Akihito, she has openly expressed her desire not to be buried alongside the Emperor in the future. Why is that? Today, I will take you through the life story of Empress Michiko of Japan.

[@jtkomet]

By the way, this same Empress Michiko was the one who kept verbally and emotionally abused Princess Masako inside the Royal Family. This is why Masako fell into deep depression for decades and could not even get outside. Why did she bully her? Because Michiko was in the spotlight for a long time, but then, Masako the bride came in, and she was deeply jealous of Masako's brain, language skills, brilliant career, and most of all, for taking the spotlight from herself. Many Japanese know this story and do not like Michiko for this reason. Also, In this area of gender equality, Japan SHOULD CHANGE THE OUTDATED LAW that only men can be the successor as next Emperor. Princess Aiko, the only blood and truely deserving child of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, is extremely intelligent, thoughtful, competent, and most of all, loved by Japanese people, can be the next head of the state. She is a girl, so what? Much better than some incomepent nephew accused of bold plaigiarism who keeps cheating all the way to the university, please.

Thank you for your reply to my comment. I don't know which country you are from, Mako is ostensibly an ordinary person. However, it seems that everything from obtaining a U.S. visa to living expenses in New York is living on Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Japanese public money, which is the reason for criticism. There are many suspicious points about Mako's husband's study in New York before marriage and his current treatment. It's obvious to the Japanese. It doesn't matter to me who you support. Because my comments are mine.

Michiko is also hated by the majority in Japan for bullying and tormenting the current Empress Masako into depression over the past 30 years. She was and still is jealous of the Empress because Masako is superior to her in all areas; beauty, kindness, intelligence, highly respected bloodline. Michiko is an evil woman. She is so false, nothing like she presents herself to be.

[@touppievh3722]

Yes, that is true. Michiko has spent a tremendous amount of TAX money for her clothes, caps, shoes, much more than Imelda Marcos. And because of her bulling toward Masako, Masako had a miscarriage of her baby. Surface is beautiful, inside is a miserable woman.

[@wako3947]

[@marcelbork92]

Why would you care about all these things?

[@touppievh3722]

Michiko has successfully identified an opportunity to spend a lot of taxpayer money. For example, Michiko made a lot of clothes and hats to meet the Pope. Also, the first thing she did to visit the earthquake-stricken area in Iwate Prefecture was to make new clothes, and visiting the affected area was to imitate the behavior of the actress in the movie. She always wants to be like an actress and get everyone's attention. She has a famous 'Nick name': MITEOKO. This has a meaning ' Look at me".

[@user-fj7yp1mo8r]

Michiko is a notorious former empress. Until now, Japanese people have been deceived by Michiko's false reports. Michiko has made 200 tons of costumes so far. That's why it took 3 years to replace the move. She hated the modest Emperor Naruhito and the brilliant career Empress Masako, and did not let her go to overseas official duties. Therefore, Empress Masako has a disease called adjustment disorder. Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako were invited to the coronation of King Charles of England, and they were not allowed to visit Vietnam. Like Michiko, the Axino family, the second son who is the most luxurious in Japan, attended both. The son of the Akishino family won an award in an essay contest, but it was plagiarism. He admitted it, but he did not decline and made him accept the recommendation for admission to a difficult high school. Now, the Aquisino family has spent more than 5 billion in taxes on housing renovations, which is being criticized by the public, but they are adding more construction. It is the exact opposite of the modest and clever Emperor Naruhito family. The Aquisino family is not worthy of the next emperor. The Japanese people are shouting against it. Michiko demeans the Emperor Naruhito family, which is popular with the people, because she wants to hide her luxury.

[@kaius3351]

I think this person's opinion is trying to spread the bias. 　The truth is that Michiko is from a commoner, and she was bullied by mother-in-law, conservative imperial officials, conservative imperial watchers, and conservative media, therefore, she got into a mental breakdown. 　 In this way, conservative imperial watchers and the conservative media have been spreading negative rumors, so, not only Empress Michiko but also Crown Princess Masako and Princess Mako continue to live a hard life for a long time. It is very sad that such conservative (stick to old tradition) imperial watchers continue to campaign negatively using conservative media. 😢 That's a sad realty.

[@user-fj7yp1mo8r]

⁠ Thank you for replying to my comment. My comment doesn't have a good image, so I can understand your opinion. However, it is true that there is a big difference between what was confirmed by the Imperial Household Agency in Japan and what can be confirmed with videos and photos, and what the Japanese media takes up as "facts". That Michiko has been wearing a new wacky costume every time. After Emperor Naruhito's family became the Emperor, they couldn't move to the Imperial Palace for three years. How can Mako and Komuro live a luxurious life in New York now? Akishino's son, Hisahito won plagiarism essay contest. It is a fact announced by the Imperial Household Agency of Japan that the renovation cost of the Imperial Family is 807 million yen, while the Aquisino family has a renovation cost of more than 5 billion yen. All of these can be confirmed correctly. The Japanese media rarely reports on the official affairs of the Emperor, but it is also true that each media reports on the official affairs of the Aquisino family again and again for many weeks！ For example, if you compare the reports from Vietnam and the reports of Japan about Mr. and Mrs. Aquino's visit to Vietnam, everyone can understand. I'm only stating the facts. I previously viewed both Michiko and Mako favorably. Now it's the exact opposite.
