yes, "Long live the Emperor and the Empress". I think it would be a treat to hear them play the instruments they played in their younger days. I bet they still remember their favorite songs too.

What a unique feeling it must be to see your possessions now roped off and on display to the public. I wonder if they would be allowed to touch them if they wanted to.

As Cherry Blossom and rranta said, "Long live the Emperor and the Empress". I will never forget the kindness they showed the people of Tohoku.
