Hard cookies both of them, they're not even thinking of abdicating right? I liked the scene when they met Obama, he instantly became President O-bow-a :lol: that was hilarious :D .

HIM the Emperor is the Emperor and the highest ranking shinto priest until his last breath.
The abdication is not possible.

It has been a pleasure to see Their Majesties receiving guests. It is nice to know that Emperor Akihito feels well to undertake official duties. On a different notes, I have to note that Princess of Bhutan looks lovely.

Imperial Household Agency said from now on when the meeting is continue to luncheon, there will be a rest time in between. That would help for the Emperor as well as guest to relax. :flowers:

The luncheon was attended by the Crown Prince himself and also Prince Hitachi.

So many people are out of touch with their family yet, even Tokyo area where most buildings and house are standing with violent shakes over and over that nobody has experienced before.
The north area of Tokyo is just disaster after disaster and we don't know exactly, people are asking for help who survived. Just not there. I'm not able to contact one of my family member in Sendai area yet.

You can look at the live news here:

Thank you, I am not alone in this

Hi Mermaid 1962,

Thank you for your thought. I live outside of Japan, I was able to get in touch with my aunt 80 years old who lives in Tokyo by neighbor、but my cousin who lives in Sendai area is beyond my reach now.

I once read when the Emperor felt tremor in his office where he was working he quickly stop working and went to turn on TV to check safety of his people - People who are in Japan. His mind is alway with us. I can't imagine how he is taking this earth quake.  

It's been a terrible day in Japan. I hope that your family member is safe and well, Mariko.:flowers:
 
This must be horrible for the Emperor and Empress, and for the rest of the Imperial Family as well. I think that it would be very hard to be in comfort when one's people are suffering.

BTW has the Emperor made a statement?

A word from the Emperor

The Emperor has send condolences to the victims of the earthquake as well as sympathy to the wounded through Mr. Hageta of Imperial Household Agency. His words has been send through many broadcast companies. While I was writing this note I heard the NHK announcer mentioning his words on the web I mentioned yesterday.

Thank goodness the JRF are safe! I hope your family is too Mariko
 
Given the current situation in Japan, it is nice to know that Their Majesties undertake official engagements.
 
Hi Roseroyal,

Thank you for your thought. I just worry about the Emperor and Empress for their health with this disaster of the earthquake knowing he and his wife care so much about people of Japan. I heard The Emperor already sent messenger to KASUGA TAISHA in Nara for praying.

One thing I realize this time from NHK Japan Broadcasting Corporation's online screen that they are sending a emergency notice just before the actual earthquake happens. Perhaps 15 or 30 seconds. That's a mazing it will give time to put yourself in safer place like under a desk.
(The children are trained at the school to go under the desk for the earthquake to protect. )
