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

還暦 One complete cycle hopefully with some wisdom achieved.

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

Lucky! (No need to work hard)
Unlucky! (Need to go through rules and regulation, custom and duties)

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
Fighto!
Wishing Empress Masako an amazing birthday on this momentous occasion!

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.

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.
