The Japanese Emperor has continued since 660 BC The first generation is Emperor Jinmu Emperor is a symbol of Japan's national integration The beginning of new era ！ 令和時代が幸せに過ごせますように🎉🎉🎉
I love you people. Never give up what makes you, you. Don't be persuaded to adopt the ways of others, customs and culture are a treasure to be preserved not to be trodden upon. As for this apology nonsense my great grandfather fought your finest warriors in combat and saw atrocity first hand, he never stopped hating you. This is an error we did unspeakable things to your people as well such is the way of war and ignorance. The sins of the Japanese people have been washed away by the mercy of God, the passage of time, and most importantly genuine contrition. When Hirohito addressed your people you hearkened unto his words and cast your weapons into Tokyo Bay to never do Evil again. The Japanese people have learned from their mistakes and will not tolerate the development of weapons of offense this speaks more powerfully than any words. I am sorry it was necessary to use weapons of mass death against your people but I do not regret it because if this had not happened we would not be operating on the basis of mutual respect that has made it possible for us to become as brothers. Congratulations on the Enthronement of Emperor Norihito long may he reign. Tennoheika bonzai! Warmest greetings from the United States. Please don't wreck your country in the same manner we have wrecked ours revere people like Otoya Yamaguichi who gave his very life to protect you from the Evil that plagues us. Stay safe, stay clean, stay Japanese! Out.
Randomweirdo the sins of the Japanese soldiers in ww2 will never be washed away. The tens of millions of innocent Chinese civilians killed by them lives forever for the grandchildren and great grandchildren of today who will never be able to see what their grandparents and great grandparents looked like when they were raped, killed and massacred out of history. We await an apology from Japan whose soldiers and royals lived long lives free of punishment
令- the original character means “Bell, as in ringing a bell” n it is the bell used in battlefield to summon soldiers to get ready for battle. You can see the the top part looks like the shape of a bell, n inside is the hammer, the ringer. So the original n first meaning of 令 is “ order/summon that you must obey ( or if you don’t, execution for you). The other derivative meanings will be fate, natural order n naturally driven . Of the natural order, like beautiful( used by this commentator ) music would need to follow its natural order to be heard beautifully. I think in this context of this new Japanese Era naming, it is natural order as in in inevitable. I sincerely hope the Japanese people n the nation of Japan will recognize this Inevitability of Peace to the great region of East Asia.
Akihito did not apologize for the war for Japan only. he said he regretted that war happened. He knew two countries to fight not just by one. He spoke for the US and UK and all the other European's countries (France, Dutch, Belgium, Spanish and Russia) to colonize and enslave the Asian countries for centuries as well. Please understand the sensitive nuance of Japanese expressions.
I feel so very sorry for Naruhito’s wife, so bullied by the courtiers ans punished for not having a baby boy. An intelligent, well-educated woman, she has been basically a palace prisoner, kept quiet because she is a female.
Americas national identity is multicultural. I too am American. what makes us great is that we have Japanese here, we have Irish here, we have indigenous Americans ( what some call Indians) and and overall huge mixture of races and cultures.

Kinda cool to know that you from the nation of so much diversity sees the diversity itself as the national identity. You know we living in Japan have very different idea about our own identity. It's interesting to see there're so many differences.

Quick question, can one of the clans ascend the throne? Shimazu, Oda, Date, or the Tokugawa? Because a lot of the clans are descendants of previous emperors so if they are looking for a male heir they can pick one of those right?
Definitely not. Once you are no longer part of the Imperial family, you totally lose the claim. Prolly something like that did happen in 6th century, when 継体天皇 became the emperor, but that's like 1,500 years ago, and the rules got way more strict later.
No, they can't. They were like Samurai kings during the feudal era. When the Tokugawas were ruling Japan, the emperors were made to live in Kyoto without any power to govern. The current emperor is a direct descendant of them. Japanese emperors have played a symbolic role while either the Shoguns (samurai kings) or the modern government actually govern the country.
There will be someone else be sitting on Japan's throne if there are no male heirs from the current royal family. The royal household will have to turn to the emperor's distant paternal male relatives such as distant cousins who would be ranked equivalent to a Duke. If anyone bothers to look at Japan's royal family tree, emperors in past ancient history had practiced polygamy ...... in other words there are distant royal male relatives who are qualified for the Japan's throne.
yes, that's why there was significant worry when it became apparent that after the current emperor Naruhito, former crown prince, his brother is the only one near enough to inherit the throne. Good thing that the emperor's brother had a son, he could continue the line, but its still a problem that there are only few remaining close relatives that are eligible for the throne, if in the worse case scenario, they would need to retrace the family tree and find eligible succesors.
While the emperor seems to have done pretty good personally, during his entire time period Japan went from peak to pretty bad. I wonder how the new one will change the fortunes of Japan.
@@marai7132 You are right the emperor is not responsible for the affairs of the country but by ancient tradition, they are seen as an omen(even though they were forced to say they are not gods) many people still see them like one and attach everything from bad economy to natural disasters like a bad sign from heaven.

He took his throne for 30years and 113days. His Heisei era just ended yesterday, and Reiwa era starts today..!!
Please do not mention Japanese Emperor with their true names, such as A...hito, N...hito. It is just like the notation of the God as YHWH, instead of Yahweh. These true names are used only after their Demise of the Crown. (from Japan).
@@randomweirdo4467 There is no "God" in Japan. There is only a "spirit" in every place. The Emperor is "the descendant of God" but not "God itself". That is the view of almost all Japanese "national bodies". It is the heart to pray, it is faith. It is not so-called "religion". Japan has a world different from Abraham's religious mental structure. Your criticism is completely off the mark.
@@randomweirdo4467 Et Shinti catholica non potest comparari.
"Tennoh" non est imperatorem. "Tennoh" non est Papa catholicus.
Omnes Japan non est aggregatum per "Tennoh" spiritum.
Fides et religio aliud. Non est cantus, ut in "Credo" in Japan.

@@randomweirdo4467 Japan's land area is 0.25% of land area of the whole world. However, 20% of earthquakes with a magnitude of M6.0 or more occur. It is also the path of a large typhoon. Japan is a country of disasters. No one can stop the occurrence of a disaster. The Japanese have always accepted "endure the unendureable". The Japanese have always accepted, even if not told by His Imperial Majesty. And we have helped each other for thousands of years, and we have always been recovering from there. Even if it was not a natural disaster, but was attacked by the atomic bomb, both Hiroshima and Nagasaki revived.

日本の国土面積は全世界の陸地の0.25%。しかし、その国土に全世界のＭ6.0以上のマグニチュードの地震の20%が発生する。大型の台風の通り道でもある。日本は災害の国である。誰も災害の発生を止めることはできない。「耐え難きを耐える」は日本人はいつでも受け入れてきた。天皇陛下に言われなくても、日本人はいつでも受け入れてきた。そして、お互い助け合って何千年もの間、そこからいつでも復興をしてきた。天災ではなく、原爆の攻撃をされても、広島も長崎も復活した。
Being an Emperor now in Japan is just a mere symbol, a Figure head. A far cry from the powers his predecessors had.
Blame his father…he’s dead.
Do you know about the genetic system？
Heisei disappeared from the times like this.
The new Japanese era coming. Its economy will come afresh and give a boost too.
Japan still faces the Legacy and Financial strain of cleaning up the Fukushima nuclear reactor.
This is more interesting than the English royals to me
The pronunciation "Reiwa" seems very difficult

elizabeth is next... poor charles shouldnt wait more
Nope. Only possible solution is a Regency period for Charles. Now, he is the de facto shadow king of U.K.
上皇様は毎日ご公務を繰り返されて下さりました。
唐朝服饰啊，唐文化在日本啊～唉
Yes! They are beautiful. In Japan,「唐衣」means beautiful clothes!!
Long live emperor naruto

为什么有人要假装成中国人表示对日本皇尊敬呢，中国人一般不会用sino-japan这个词，而是表示成China and Japan 。
