No More Deception - The Truth about former Empress Michiko and Prince Akishino’s Extravagance, Confusion, and the Conspiracy [originally posted on July 3, 2019 in Japanese]

The numerous worngdoings of so-called "Heisei Imperial Quartet" (former Empress Michiko, former Emper Akihito, Prince Akishino, and Princess Akishino) have been coming to light in the past few months through the internet.

Empress Michiko, monopolizing and directing "Imperial Family's foreign trips" (which can hardly be called diplomatic)

The recent unauthorized foreign trip by the Akishino couple cannot be considered an official duty, as they were not invited. They should disclose and make clear the breakdown of the expenses, as it is funded by our taxes. Despite the daily articles on Yahoo about their visit to Poland and Finland, a huge number of critical comments are posted every time. This is only natural.

The press conference held by the Akishino couple before their foreign trip was laughable, with the level of their responses resembling that of elementary school students. It was evident that they had not thoroughly researched the history, political situation, and culture of the countries they would visit. It was clear that such people could never successfully foster friendly relations with the countries they were visiting. They lack intelligence and education and have never made an effort to study.

They have always relied on shortcuts and deception in their lives. It is severely damaging to national interests for people like them to represent Japan on the world stage. They have always treated foreign trips (which are just sightseeing tours) as easy "official duties". People who have never taken an interest in their pseudo-official duties are beginning to speak out about how absurd they all are. Angry voices are rising, saying, "Do they think they can treat the citizens of this country like fools?"

During the foreign trip, there were expenses for multiple outfit changes by Princess Kiko, security costs, and event costs for events hosted by the foreign country, as they were not invited. Of course, there were also first-class flight costs for travel to and from the destination and throughout the trip. How much did all of this cost? Was it tens of millions of yen or even 100 million yen? They should provide a report on the breakdown of expenses and the effectiveness of the goodwill efforts. Even if they have to force the Imperial Household Agency staff to submit the report, they have a duty to disclose the expense details, Akishino couple, as it is funded by taxpayers. The Imperial Household Agency should also make the breakdown of expenses public.

It is said that Empress Michiko was the one who allocated these imperial family foreign trips. She imprisoned and prevented Princess Masako, who had been active as a brilliant diplomat, from going abroad, and even drove her to illness. Was it an ugly jealousy towards Princess Masako, who surpassed her in language skills, education, intelligence, and even physical beauty? In the Reiwa era, when Empress Masako, who had a background as a former diplomat, excels in imperial diplomacy, and her achievements have been reported, many citizens are starting to realize who was behind the bashing of Princess Masako.

If the Imperial Family is truly committed to imperial diplomacy, it should be led by Princess Masako, who excels in language skills and education, is friendly with many foreign royal families, Princess Hisako of Takamado, who obtained a doctorate from the University of Oxford's Merton College. Sending the Akishino couple, who lack language skills and education, is damaging to Japan's national interests. They have reportedly visited 41 countries so far. How much shame have they brought upon us? It's all so meaningless.

The reality of the pseudo "official duties" that Michiko excessively increased turned out to be fashion shows

Then, what are the "official duties" of the Imperial Family?

The "official duties" of the Imperial Family are limited to "acts of state" and "ceremonial acts" under the Constitution. Acts of state include attending national events, hosting state guests, and attending the presentation of credentials by ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary. Ceremonial acts refer to participating in court ceremonies such as the Ceremony of the Accession to the Throne and the Great Thanksgiving Ceremony, as well as national ceremonial acts. The Emperor and members of the Imperial Family are primarily expected to perform these official duties.

The "official duties" that do not fall under these categories and have significantly increased since the Heisei era

The reason why this is problematic is that these pseudo-official duties lack transparency and accountability, and taxpayers' money may be used to cover expenses for these activities. Additionally, some of these duties may overlap with the work of government officials or violate diplomatic protocols, causing confusion and potential damage to Japan's international reputation.

The focus should be on the fact that these activities were not legitimate official duties, but rather they were simply "sightseeing tours" that Michiko used to create a Hollywood-like image of herself. This is problematic because it undermines the Imperial Family's credibility as genuine symbols of national unity and stability, which could potentially harm Japan's international reputation.

Michiko the attacked Princess Masako for not participating in these pseudo-official duties

Furthermore, Michiko attacked Princess Masako for not participating in these pseudo-official duties. Women's weekly magazines that were acting as Michiko's stooges led the attacks, which continued persistently. As a result, Princess Masako developed "adjustment disorder."

Were the "official duties" that Michiko excessively engaged in really necessary? And were they even duties that an Empress should be performing in the first place?

Naruhito (fomer Crown Princ

e) has stated that he will not engage in activities that involve payment. Therefore, it can be speculated who is responsible for introducing the new "official duties" that did not exist before in the Heisei era, many of which involved payment. It is said that the Akishino family is in charge of handling these duties. This is where the collusion begins. Other members of the Imperial Family do not engage in such despicable practices. Even without payment, the Akishino family receives 120 million yen in "Imperial Family expenses" from our taxes. How greedy can they be?

Under the guise of assigning the excessive "official duties" that she herself created, Michiko is plotting to establish a female branch of the Imperial Family for Princesses Mako and Kako

If we read between the lines of the "Komuro Incident," can we see a conspiracy to create a female branch of the Imperial Family? Through the Komuro Incident, we have come to realize that there is a dark side to the heartwarming stories about the former Emperor and Empress that have been reported one after another on the internet. In addition, there are their unprecedented secret outings with new outfits, security, and media coverage before their abdication. Even those who are dull (or simply uninterested) are starting to notice the incredible amount of tax money being spent on these activities and thinking "something's not right here." I myself am also one of those people.

In the first place, it was the former Emperor and Empress who approved the engagement of Princess Mako and Kei Komuro. The fact that they have not yet revoked the approval, even though the Komuro family's scandal has come to light and they have the opportunity to do so, suggests that there is a conspiracy behind this. The plan is to establish a female branch of the Imperial Family for the two daughters of the Akishino family, with Prince Kei Komuro included in it. Therefore, what we can deduce from the Akishino couple's press conference is that they and the former Emperor and Empress are buying time until the establishment of the female branch of the Imperial Family. It is highly unlikely that they are seriously considering breaking off the engagement with Komuro [Now, it has been proven that this speculation was correct, as evidenced by the marriage of Kei Komuro and Princess Mako and its subsequent developments.

There are still people who are making a fuss about the strangeness of Kaoru Komiya and his mother. Of course, they are a problem, but a bigger problem is that the former Emperor and Empress, who are secretly wielding their influence, are still determined to create a female branch of the Imperial Family for their granddaughters by any means necessary. Information has leaked from the internet that the eldest son they "produced" has serious problems that go against human ethics [Mr. Shinohara reported recently that one of the close associates of the Crown Prince Akishino mentioned that he heard that the Crown Prince himself had explicitly stated that his first son, Hisahito, was created through the process of selecting a fertilized egg]. 

If there are problems, Hisahito cannot become Emperor according to the provisions of the Imperial House Law. Their plan is to support their two daughters as "palaces" to achieve this goal.

Many of the "official duties" that Michiko increased were involved with vested interests

Regarding the suspicion of "profit-making through the use of the imperial family" by Mr. Kawashima Ikuo, the younger brother of Princess Kiko, it is reported in the following article on News Post.

www.news-postseven.com

Princess Kiko's father, Mr. Tatsuhiko Kawashima, is said to be a member of the Matsushita Konosuke Memorial Foundation and a member of the group “Seicho-no-Ie,” along with Tetsuo Yamazori, who was pressured by the current Emperor to abdicate during his time as Crown Prince. Additionally, as exposed in the June 6 issue (2019) of Shukan Shincho magazine, Mr. Kawashima has not only gone on a trip to Korea with Mr. Mitsui, who is a pachinko company president, but is also known to have a close relationship with him. There are also rumors that Princess Kiko's mother, who is said to have a North Korean background, is living in the Akishino residence as Prince Hisahito's educator. It is surely a matter of great concern for the Imperial Family that such outrageous rumors are circulating, and one can only imagine the deep dismay that the Showa Emperor would feel about this situation.

Michiko had the weekly magazine reporters under her employ write "flattering" articles. Furthermore, she had a vast number of books promoting her published

Michiko was extremely proactive in getting the media, such as newspapers and weekly magazines, on her side. It is a well-known fact that she had her "pet" reporters write bashing articles about Princess Masako. One of the weekly magazines was even ridiculed as "Michiko Jishin" instead of "Josei Jishin"(女性自身)magazine.

I was not aware of the "pet reporters" of Michiko and their articles in women's weekly magazines until they were reported on the internet. Occasionally, I hear nauseatingly flattering comments from a woman named Midori Watanabe when she appears on television, and I am amazed that there are people who cannot analyze or interpret such things. I came across one such person this April, named Makiko Yabe, and I was so angry that I immediately wrote this blog post.

The writing had not a shred of intelligence. It was completely incoherent and terrible. Later, I found out that this person had written a ridiculous book titled "The Miracle of Empress Michiko," and I can only feel contempt. If someone is happy to write a book with such a title, it can only be said that they have no decency whatsoever, and are completely devoid of Japanese virtues.

It is unacceptable that Michiko has taken in the media and her pet reporters to write flattering articles about her, and even bashing articles about Princess Masako

Futari: Empress Michiko and Michiko Ishimure (Bunhiko Takayama, Kodansha, September 15th, 2015) was also terrible. First of all, the chronological order of events was not clear, and the book was illogical and full of problems. Furthermore, in his hatred towards Princess Masako, he distorted the facts. This is not acceptable for a writer. He "asserts" that Princess Masako should apologize to Minamata, but did he know that the sister-in-law of the former Empress married into the Anzai family of Showa Denko, which caused the second Minamata disease?

It seems that the media control by former Empress Michiko continues even today, with many posts by trash journalists, so we need to keep a close eye on them. A list of these trash journalists can be found by searching the internet, and we need to get rid of them!

It is said that Princess Masako advocated for "imperial reform" after her marriage. This apparently angered the former Empress and led to her imprisonment, according to information on the internet. I understand this and feel a boiling anger inside me.

They are scheming to bring the imperiallyne to the eldest son of Prince Akishino

The Prince Akishino couple and Kiko's father are using every means possible (including actions that may go against morality and even the law?) to snatch the imperial throne. While I will avoid details about Tatsuhiko Kawashima's background, which was exposed by Shukan Shincho magazine, it is clear that some suspicious organizations are involved. To the members of the "Nippon Kaigi" organization who are calling for the imperial line to be passed down to such bloodlines, is this really okay?

The total cost of the new residence for the former Emperor and Empress and the renovation and construction of the new residence for Prince Akishino amounts to 11.3 billion yen!

The cost of the new residence for the retired Emperor and Empress is exorbitant. The renovation cost of their temporary residence at Takamatsu Imperial Villa (formerly the Takamatsu Palace) was 550 million yen (although it has already been completed, the retired Emperor and Empress are still residing at the Imperial Palace). The renovation cost of their new residence, "Shin-Sento Imperial Palace," is about 70 billion yen, which includes a 400 million yen wardrobe for the former Empress. All of this is paid for by our taxes.

The news that the renovation and construction cost of the Prince Akishino's residence is 13 billion yen plus 30 billion yen is even more astonishing. Could this also include the cost of a new residence for their (assumed) daughter from the female imperial family? The total cost for the new residences of the retired Emperor, Empress, and Prince Akishino amounts to 113 billion yen, all of which comes from our taxes. There must be other ways to use this money if they truly want to "be close to the people." How long do we have to be exploited by these leech-like people?
