The emperor studied at Oxford University.

So? I know plenty of people who have studied at universities in Japan, and none of them can speak Japanese very well. He didn’t get into Oxford on merit for goodness sake!

Let's see if the message from the imperial couple sinks in back home. Stop wearing restrictive masks.

And much was made by the Japanese media that they chose not to wear facemasks... SMH

She is fluent in English, but he isn't. Looks like he is asking her what to write.

"Should I write in Kanji or Romaji?"

"Hun - nine down, six letters, starts with "G"..."

You do not get to write, anything,just sign your name
