QuoteThe news that Princess Kiko, the wife of Emperor Akihito's second son, is pregnant -- possibly with the Imperial Family's first male heir to the throne in four decades -- has triggered a rash of magazine articles about the happenings inside the moat.

But now the Imperial Palace has had enough. In an unusually harsh statement, the Imperial Household Agency on Thursday accused unidentified magazines of printing errors and urged them to stop it.

Good!

QuoteTOKYO: Thousands of people gathered under a huge rising sun flag at a Tokyo stadium yesterday to protest against a proposal to allow women and their children to accede to Japan's ancient Chrysanthemum throne.


Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi last month abandoned a plan to submit a bill to parliament to let women inherit the imperial throne, following news that Princess Kiko, the wife of the current Emperor's younger son, was pregnant with what many hope will be a male heir.

Again?!

QuoteTOKYO (AP) - Crown Prince Naruhito said Friday the health of his wife, Masako, is improving but that she is not well enough to join him on an official trip to Mexico next week.

Masako has been receiving counseling and medication for stress-induced depression since she retreated from official duties in late 2003.

Japanese people adamant at not wanting women to ascend to the throne. I know it's tradition and I respect that but sometimes you have to keep up with the times in order to move forward.

Securing happiness for a princess

QuoteRecent years have not been kind to the Crown Prince and his immediate family. The Crown Princess, Masako, suffered a miscarriage in 1999, and afterward came down with shingles, forcing her to cancel many of her public duties.

Only the Y Chromosome Counts

QuoteIT was one of the biggest rallies in support of Japan's imperial system since the end of World War II: Some 10,300 men and women gathered at the Budokan martial arts arena to protest a proposal that would let women become empresses and pass along title to the Chrysanthemum Throne. At the end, the throng stood and raised their arms in unison while shouting, "Long live the emperor!"
