Emperor Naruhito, as the Tokyo Olympic Games’ honorary president, is scheduled to declare the Games open on July 23. Do you think he will still do it?

The Olympics has become a sticky political and business issue. The Emperor ought to be above all of this. He should, therefore, politely decline.

what blue said.

Yes - he will. It's still the Olympic Games. And its still non-political.

He is surely forced to do, like the government, the whole country and the rest of us is forced to endure that money mafia’s power demonstration , redeclared as a ‘sports’ event.
