Imperial Baby!

First of all, I would like to express my sincere congratulation to Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko as well as Emperor, Empress, Prince Naruhito and Princess Masako on the birth of new baby! As one of Japanese national, I am really pleased to share this jubilant moment with everyone.

Some reporters including Chief correspondent at Tokyo branch of New York Times wrote articles that this occasion may hamper a controversial debate over amendment of Imperial Household Law, in which the article only male can ascend the Chrysanthemum Throne is included.

However I think it is a perfect opportunity for Japanese peoples to think about Imperial Household System as themselves taking a long time. Rev. Masanobu Taniguchi, the Vice President of Seicho-No-Ie, expressed his idea on his blog that he would like Emperor and Empress to show their image of future Imperial system, I totally agree with his idea. Because almost of all Japanese national love and respect our Imperial family and we all want Imperial House Law to change in accordance with Emperor's idea.
