Empress Masako turns 60; expresses eagerness to move forward

お誕生日 おめでとう ございます!

Best wishes to Royal Highness!

This dear lady is a true hero. An inspiration to all.

彼女の長くて幸せな人生を祈っています. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday and all the best for the future!

Even if I have to admit, I'm a little jealous that we don't have such a young, extraordinary woman as an empress in Germany.

A diamond jubilee generally refers to a public service of some kind, not a simple age. Let's call it a happy birthday, shall we? I'm all for that.

Wishing Empress Masako an amazing birthday on this momentous occasion!

Happy birthday! Adjustment disorder is common and can result from a major life change like marriage or losing a job. I understand it can last 6 months or so. I think her situation is different.

Exactly. 23 years sens a bit long for an « adjustement » I think the one suffering from adjustment disorder is the Imperizl Agency

Happy birthday! Adjustment disorder is common and can result from a major life change like marriage or losing a job. I understand it can last 6 months or so. I think her situation is different.

Lucky! (No need to work hard)

Unlucky! (Need to go through rules and regulation, custom and duties)

Life is a precious gift. Happy birthday. Wishing Empress Masako good health and happiness.

I tend to think that the Imperial Family remains very traditional and only celebrate Kanreki 還暦 for men, not for women.

還暦 One complete cycle hopefully with some wisdom achieved.

Very easy to say when you have taxpayer funded flunkees at your beck and call.

Happy Birthday !

We are all walking towards the future, both good and bad.
