- EMPEROR Akihito is abdicating after a 30-year reign.
In December 2017, the Japanese government announced he would voluntarily abdicate by April 30, 2019 due to his age and declining health.
In 2016, he said in a televised address he was concerned he would not be able to fulfil his duties fully following his health issues.
Akihito has had treatment for prostate cancer and heart surgery.
His final day as emperor saw him take part in many ceremonies including praying to a Shinto sun goddess.
He was seen as an emperor who played an active role in easing painful memories of World War Two.
Akihito also sought the bring the monarchy closer to the people.

Love Japan. Greeting from Malaysia.
can we just appreciate this: in world war 2, the king of the united kingdom was an important figurehead. a symbol of unity and history but still subservient to the actual democratic system of rule. in ww2, the emperor was supreme, a god-like figure, a complete representation of the people's will and the vigor of the japanese. in such short a time, the relative power of the japanese emperor has reduced to the level of britain or even below it in terms of actual law, and everyone accepts this including the new emperor himself. this is exactly what he was born to do, and someone had to do it. the japanese revere their current emperor at the same level as the british revere their queen, it is a representation of their culture and history, and that's what he represents, and how he earns revenue for the japanese state. so in terms of what he is doing for his country, i can only say bonzai!
*banzai

Someone looks a bit too happy about it.
This clip is set to a weirdly unsuitable piece of music at the start.
WOW......if that was not a statement?
I wish him luck.
BBC World here in Japan: Those BBC clowns mispronounce and/or mis-stress just about every Japanese proper noun,
I think I'll let them off since... Well... They're not Japanese
New Era of ❤️🙏🏼
they they use that music in the beginning lmaoooooo
BANZAIIII
How long before the monarchy abdicates. I can't see William wanting to be king in a modern world
Go watch Ancient Greece My dad told me Ancient Greece is ruled By Republic.
Western clothes and hairstyles don't honor Japan much. I've been in love with the Japanese culture since I was a kid
If it helps, the (now-former) Emperor wore Japanese regalia for the private abdication ceremony earlier that day. And Japanese emperors have been shown wearing Western clothing since 1868.
you mean you watched anime then wanted to turn japanese
„Heisei” na zawsze.
They (The Sun) are so insensitive... using such a strange music that is totally absurd to Japanese people!

Ohio go zai e mas Ko ne chi waaa
"Ohayo gozaimasu. Konichi wa" ;)
3:16 I'm not happy with Naruhito's wife sinister smile. Something tells me this isn't right
because she is in depression for years, that is a smile with dignity and humble, rather than a sinister one.
The first time i saw i tought that she was ugly but when i learned she had a rough life i feel sorry for her. And i apologize for an insult like that.
Lol wtf
Japixt
Emperor? What is it a thousand years ago? tf
They flew down from the sun 🌞 500 years ago

Monarchs are still everywhere, e.g. in GB and Sweden.
Here we go again to the ignorant people who talks too much but reads a little... just like you
Shut your dirty inferior mouth
The family of war criminals
