The Japanese Royal Palace: The World's Last Remaining Emperor and Longest Monarchy
Broadcast 1985 - Documentary on the Japanese Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Royal Grounds of the Last Remaining Emperor on Earth. At one point, atleast on paper, the Imperial Palace's real estate was worth more than the entire state of California. Theoretically, Japan could have bought the entire United States of America by selling only metropolitan Tokyo.
Seeing how there is no fundemental difference between an emperor and a king, or indeed a sultan, I don't see how which word is used to describe the Japanese royal family makes them special.
Has anyone asked the Emperor if he wants more power? He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who does.
The question is: more power, but what for? What do you want the emperor to do with that power?
My opinion is, that all human beings are born equal, and making some of them have more privileges than others, just because the blood they have in their veins, is unfair, to say the least. And when i say this, more than thinking in the emperor and his familiy in Japan (which i don't know well), i'm thinking of the royal family in my own country.
Is giving "el presidente" more power beacause a portion of the populace vot.. opps I mean 'the people' choosed him, is any fair. In fact I would like every monarchy restored.
Hi! This site will focus on Asian Organized Crime, Politics, History related videos. I hope this will be a database where you can have lively discussion and watch rare videos. My goal for this website is to spread understanding to anyone interested in these topics.
If there is a certain kind of video you are looking for, for example a particular country you are interested in such as "North Korea" just use the search box or categories to the right. Please comment whenever I will read them all.
日本の主張や情報をより多くの外国の方々に理解してもらおうと思ってはじめました。最初は幾つかの動画を翻訳してyoutubeにだしたらスゴイ数の人がみました。興味はかなりあるんだな、と思い、ブログやニュース・サイトをみたら、日本人が英語で発信してるサイトはほとんどない。日本をよく分かってない外人が書いてるサイトが多く、間違った日本の事を書いてもらいたくないと思いこのブログをはじめました。どうぞコメントでも何か翻訳してほしい動画があったら、言って下さい。
Thanks,

You can't just drop a political bomb like "I think the emperor should have more power" without elaborating on why.
