BBC NWES, 8 August 2016Japan's Emperor Akihito hints at wish to abdicate (article)
On Monday this week, the news that was about the emperor abdicate, and the emperor himself speech, were announced. I think that it will be a good opportunity for Japanese people to think about our country Japan.
We have to think new Japan again, because the world rapidly started to change. We will be welcoming the 71st anniversary of the end of the World War Ⅱ this year. We are preparing for the 30th year of Heisei and in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic.
Japan is a developed country though it has some problems the developed countries won't have.
For example, women are not active and women are not allowed to inherit the throne but it doesn't discuss completely.
I'm worried whether Japanese people can adapt to the new decision, or not, if the abdication is permitted.
We know that our Japan's Emperor is not a god, he is the symbol of the state. However, he greatly impact on us who feel like we are embedded on old Japanese system.
However, he has adopted a more informal, modern style. His marriage was the best way that Japanese people long for.
We have to keep good Japanese tradition forever, however, we build a new system our own power for this announcement and Japanese prosperity.
