Japanese emperor’s brother Akishino formally becomes crown prince after pandemic delays 

except his royal honorific dialect is virtually impossible to understand.

彼は皇帝ではありません 天皇の地位を次に告げる皇嗣という立場です 彼は皇嗣と皇太子をうまく振り分けて仕事をしています 皇太子になるとお金がもらえないからです 天皇陛下をお支えすることをしない弟です

cant tell if sarcasm, or.......

Ah yes, royals. Not pompous whatsoever

You clearly can read that the event is scaled down due to COVID-19.

Well, Japan has always been about humbleness.

Tbf, while they're not always as extravagant as Western ceremonies, this one specifically was scaled down due to COVID-19 (so as to not get anyone sick; not just via social distancing, but by reducing the number of people moving around decorations, instruments, etc.)

Yep I saw that too haha

True

go back to reddit

The ceremony looked more impressive. I’m sure ancient japan had carriages, no?

@NEXTしょう。。。 yes. I’d rather see the imperial train in a beautifully lacquered carriage like in the Nara period than that clonky thing.

Hey i have a question, are u fbi? Why are u always there in videos i watch??

Yeah

@@arsean6474 I wish YT has block feature so I won't see this man in the videos that I watch

He CIA Agent

Dude , you're everywhere . Like everywhere

Except the carriage lol

i thought this was asian level cosplay at buckingham palace...

Wait what happened?

Carriage is not European. It is as Asian as it can get. You are probably talking about the dress of the horseman. That is European.

Buddy, what do you mean by "European carriage"? Trying to claim that too?

That is the thing, Japan never claimed its a full "Asian" nation. Western influence in the nation's history was just as much as that from Asia continent. Whether its the Dutch traders or the US blackships, they played the equal role as Buddhism and Chinese did in forming what Japan it is today.

By the bakumatsu period japan had already becoke fairly westernized, and carriages such as that one where used, so it isnt entirely out of place.

@@portablerefrigerator4902 do u still want to see human carriage like old days japan?

@@agungprawira3710 yes.

@@agungprawira3710 you misread my comment.

@@agungprawira3710 you mean a palanquin? That’s more of an Asian thing. Not just a Japan.

They're not really fond of change, specially since the patriarchal line is the oldest continuous monarchy. It would likely take a Meiji restoration level of change to include women in the line, or if there's no more male heir.

This isn't sfw.. . This is real life of a custom going back centuries.

Emperor is de jure head of japan , just a tradition

Yeah lets sign an online petition to change somebody else's culture!

They'd probably have to make that decision before the daughter had been born, yknow... So they could Make sure they were qualified instead of just changing the tradition randomly one day and handing off the crown to someone who been expected to have a completely different way off life than that

Yep 👍

Yup and that's cool

It is great to balance the past and the future

Time to move on from living into the past, its so STAGE, these Symbolic royals shows need to be consigned into History.. Look at the MESS of the Royals in THAILAND, what a joke of a prince who trades in wife's like Cars..not to mention don't even live in his own country....not in my life time, I see in the future it will eventually stop with Hierarchical passing of the crown...

yraaaaaaaaaaaa

Proclamation merely it is only a coronation when the monarch gets the crown in his head otherwise it is an enthronment

America and Israel disapproval

the way of their ceremony is so clean and beautiful, they have full professionality

My condolences for your loss!

Seas mamón...jajajahaha

Hahaha

Your comment made me burst to laughter lol. 😂

I see what you did right there. Hahaha.

two？which two？

@@diezero2483 probably meant his country and japan

....Amen

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

well said

Simplicity is Japan, they invented minimalism.

Yeah because the event scaled down due to Covid 19

Sure, they don't want controversi, the most popular the worse for them so slowly they can continue with their BS

probably 3 or 4, remember no one cared about the Japanese emperor until Meiji upended the Shogunate.

@@Otter-Destruction Yeah there was even a time that have two capitals

@@Otter-Destruction they had no real power, but they did their ceremonies the same way. It's all about tradition. Also, before the Kamakura shogunate, Japanese emperors usually had some power.

In the Kamakura period (1185-1333), the emperor was replaced by the samurai. However, even the shogun, the greatest of the samurai, maintained a sense of respect for the Emperor.

In Europe, brothers killed each other to get the imperial title.

Yes, his younger brother is the most eligible for transfer of imperial title because the emperor’s child is a princess (females cannot hold an imperia title in Japan unlike other countries like UK)

meanwhile saudi royal family grabs popcorn..

@@makotopark7741 was the crown prince had a baby boy in his family or its their relative? Coz the royal family was flocked with girls they were happy when a baby boy came from their blood line.

@@tpasyt3969 the current crown prince has a son

Ok

The govt was debating changing the law so that then crown prince’s (current emperor) daughter could inherit the throne, but then his brother (current crown prince) had a son and they threw that idea out the window 😞

Hey look a westerner sjw

And it's correct ,woman takes the husband's name and leaves the family , only man hold the name and continue the lineage , this Oda of feminism should be stopped once and forever

@@AdryanRMC If she was married to a member of the noble families she would not lose her royal title. The number of noble families was significantly pared down by the occupying US forces as their titles were removed.

@@Seri-tt3tf Japan had a female emperor in the past

Well you didn't dude. It is just tradition. Respect it no matter if you disagree.

Me too. They'll die out because of their sexism

@@cottonhairedaesthetic2005 Again it is tradition. If they die out they die out. Just respect it. They are also one of the oldest and longest living dynasties in the world so their doing something right to last that long.

@@jamietwotwosevenfiveone3664 well, if they stay like that. I hope they do.

@@cottonhairedaesthetic2005 You hope a family that has not done anything to hurt anyone and has survived thousands of years to die out because you disagree with their tradition.

A man of culture

@NEXTしょう。。。 I know that. China's Cao Wei dynasty have a record of her. More clearly than the Japanese own record in my opinion. My comment are meant for sarcastic remarks for the comments made on the previous video of the same topic by the same channel.

@NEXTしょう。。。 why. Not as childish as preserving unnecessary tradition

@NEXTしょう。。。 hide your head in the sand more

@NEXTしょう。。。 No wonder Japan is an ageing population.... head in the sand forever. smh.

@NEXTしょう。。。 COPE harder

Underrated

The family should NOT be put acountable to the crimes of a former Emperor. Its like when they killed the entire Momarchs family in russia without regard. Japan should 100% be held more acountable as a whole as they have denied and ignored their warcrimes

Sameee it’s so interesting I love chinas news

@@Zaina._.hyxxc. this is Japan. China doesn't have emperor anymore.

@@Zaina._.hyxxc. idk if you are being sarcastic but okay

I NEED A HEROOOO

Hahahaha, love your comment😂😂🤚

If i remember They have but only in Japan since 2012 the youngest princess that join skate in olympic if I'm right maybe 😅

You cannot just change a tradition that has been going on for thousands of years because you just want an empress. There so much more that has to happen for this monumental change. It might not seem much to you but it means alot when you look at the context. I would just say respect it eben if you do not agree.

Right?!

@Rafael Martins well... in a way the Emperor is like the Pope in Shintoism but can have heirs unlike the failure of having Empress in the past

The Prussians Prevented the Princess to ascend to the throne.

Thank you for speaking the truth.

True, but it's Japan is stubborn to change when it comes to historical stuff so yeah.

Don't worry they have waifu harem genre

@@attainascend still better than UK with Markle other Miss Nobodies

Not their fault, they don't want to be like those westerners who rant on Twitter everyday, get triggered if someone they hate drinks water, uneducated to other cultures, and weirdos. They value history and morals. That I admire about them.

@@arthurmorgan9894 What morals and history involving denying women the throne represent? What does it imply about half their population or the female royals themselves? What do you think those half feel when they see this in the 21st century ,during a pandemic, in which this ancient monarchy would rather survive by a thread than expand its options? Just bc its historical doesnt make it morally correct nor passively acceptable...

Because until meiji restoration, they are still king of kings. And imperial family status didn't change even after WWII.

Japan isn’t Japan without emperors

@@taejo4975 Agreed

@@absentmindedshirokuma8539 thank you very much for the information

Koreans feel offended.

The line of succession in Japan is from one male to another another as it is the way of succession in East Asian culture. In the past, Emperor had multiple wives with the Empress as official wife. All of the emperor's sons regardless being born to the Empress or other wives are eligible to the throne though sons born to the Empress are prioritized. If the Emperor did not have a male heir at the time of his death, the throne is passed to the closest male relative, usually the younger brother or nephew and occasionally uncle. If there are none, it will passed to the closest branch family member. Japanese Imperial family have many branch members and the most distant ones usually got cut off from the line of succession and are granted nobility ranks. That's why during the Sengoku Period, many feudal lords claimed to have Imperial blood by claiming descent from these various nobility of royal descent.

Most of the people who complain about japan's imperial monarchy still being alive are people who doesn't understand nor care about the historical, cultural and religious importance of the dynasty and with no ties to japanese culture, history and belief. From what ive seen its mostly american cultural imperialism with a mix of american superiority complex.

Prussian Rule is behind this.

Yooo my brother!! Salam from Germany!! Tuah Sakato!

@@nomadiccheese4911 'Most of the people who complain about japan's imperial monarchy still being alive" i bet those people is bunch democracy and communist believes who think everyone in this world must be having democracy or communist with own wannabe hero justice/superiority complex

Again it is tradition. No matter if you disagree atleast respect it. There are traditions in other countries where instead it is a women being in charge and men being at the side and no one complains. Just respect it.

@@jamietwotwosevenfiveone3664 This

Japanese govt. is unbroken line of male-line fundamentalist. For more than 15 years, the LDP has not held a decent discussion on imperial succession. The administration's inaction led to a crisis in the imperial lineage with only one heir to the throne in the future. They are desperate to let Akishino family take over the imperial line. However, newspaper and other media polls show that more than 80 percent of Japanese want Princess Aiko, the Emperor's child to become female emperor.

There there, cry some more, would you, woman? The world has to bend to your will, empowered 21st century western weakling and saboteour.

@@RTYB Not sad at all. One less monarchy poisoning this world to worry about when that one goes extinct ;)

Ppl inherit surname from their dad so that's how it is

@@Zamira345able racist woman, mind ur own nation.

Why is it always white women

Barely.

@@ilgenis i dont see anyone escorting you in a horse carriage

Yeah,

Yup, this is Japan alright. And their royal family will never marry any foreigners like other royal families in the world.

Wdym nani

Tiktokers detected !!

Same

You are so true when it comes to that...

Well, they could introduce a law where they should only marry Japanese commoners, not European, African, or other Asian ones. This will probably result in future emperors becoming more European-looking.

Ikr

Haha.. But wait for his son. He is the next crown prince I think and he is still 12 years old now.

They have also 2 princess that i forgot their name the youngest princess is 26 i guess 😅

Probably bad. I'm sure he wanted to pass the throne to his own child but was forced to give it to his brother

@Rafael Martins watch Bill wurtz's video about history of Japan so you will understand what he meant

At the very least yeah

Do describe japanese style carriage? All monarch in the world have the same carriage in 1800-1900

CoViD 19, the novel Coronavirus

I feel like I know this reference

And they have earthquakes, and storms, and floods, and mudslides, and volcanoes, and hornets the size of the finger

@@Kaz-_ bill wurtz

Why would it be the son when there is still the father? The emperor's brother is his next of kin. It should have been the emperor's child but since it is a daughter, she is disqualified. So who is the closest male relative to the king? His brother. The nephew is the 2nd in line to the throne. He is going to be the crown prince when his father becomes king.

Weeb yikes

@@reychua7538 no

Hokage no

Japan emperor hirohito​ 1930s​

Women could actually become the Emperor in Japan. 8 Emperors were Female in Japan. They banned females from becoming the Emperor after Japan opened up and became westernised during the Meiji period

😏

Wait until you see Prince Charles

Bad idea to let people who have no idea how to run a country...well...run a country... It's best to leave it as it is, tradition only.

Royal cannot intervere government.

Last time when an emperor (Hirohito) took "an active role" in government , it ended badly for Japan.

@@user-bc7nc5qd4z banzai

It's their land. Royalties are like stakeholders, the executives are the ones that responsible for the country's decision. The royals only take action if the executives F*ck up, which is called the national emergency, which the royal military forces takes power.

It's sad that they doesn't acknowledge female heirs

Actually oldest monarchy in the world

@Siddharth Seth Are you trying to be funny or something?

@Siddharth Seth ummm.. you might need to check the meaning of monarchy there bud

Was a monarchy, Japan is a Parliament, the Prime Minister is the actual head of the country. Just like England the Royal family is there just for traditional and cultural preservation, also tourism money.
