Listening to Masako's Birthday Video ...
 

Listening to this video, I heard musical accompaniment, only, as background to the Video.

Was / is there any commentary in Japanese?
Or, English, perhaps?

The Shaba Inu (correct spelling in English of this Breed?) Doggies are ADORABLE!

I'm afraid there are not any available out there. Maybe you can try youtube for English news on the Imperial Family

Tried that!
 

Hi there Poppy!

I have tried this option already ... Unfortunately, THE BEST videos, the one's that YOU posted up here, from YT are those in Japanese! They show the Royals at home, and doing their business, too. I suppose I will just have to guess at what the Japanese means, although I am reasonably sure that it is most reverential, no?

Thanks so very much for posting links to where I can read about The Imperial Family's daily life, too!

I have enjoyed seeing the YT Videos you posted here, too :) VERY much so! I have saved them all to my favourites, too, over there.
