whats funny is Komuro Kei is viewed incredibly negatively in Japan, but positively in the West. I think the couple is making the right move by pulling a Harry and Megan and moving to the USA after marriage

10:08 Uh, do these people not realize Empress Emerita Michiko, the current Empress Masako, and Princess Kiko (Mako's mother) were all commoners who married into the royal family? And that there are 7 other living royal women who married out of the family? Princess Ayako only got married 3 years ago. Clearly people have the memory of goldfish. Princess Mako's case wasn't special at all until the public decided to hate on Komuro for his mother's actions and his hair. What a load of crap. Edit to clarify since this comment is blowing up: According to the Imperial Household Law of 1947 male royals can marry commoner women into the royal family, but female royals must give up their royal status if they marry a commoner. In addition, the Japanese aristocracy other than those directly related to Emperor Showa (Hirohito) lost their royal status after World War II, so there are no other royals to marry in Japan. In other words, royal women have no choice but to lose their royal status and marry a commoner or remain single. Or perhaps marry a non-Japanese royal but that is pretty unlikely.

It was only after his mother's money problems were reported by a weekly magazine that he started to be criticized. After that, various problems were reported and the criticism against him grew louder. It is normal for people in the imperial family to marry common people, and this is not seen as a problem.

I am Japanese. I don't know if I can translate it well because I can't speak English, but most of the Japanese who opposed the marriage of Kei Komuro and Makosama do not oppose it because Kei Komuro is a "commoner". (In this video, it is expressed as "commoner". However, modern Japanese do not use the word "commoner". In modern Japan, people who do not have a special occupation are referred to as "一般人(Ordinary people)". Therefore, it is correct to say that Kei Komuro is "一般人( Ordinary people )" and Makosama is "皇族( Imperial family )".) （ Commoners（=平民・庶民） sound rude in Japan, but aren't they rude in English😲? ） this is not the first time that a Japanese Imperial family has married an "一般人（ Ordinary people ）". Sayako Kuroda, the younger sister of the current emperor, was also married to a general man. In addition, Masakosama, the current empress, is also an "一般人"(ordinary person), and Kikosama, the wife of Fumihito Akishinomiya, the younger brother of the emperor, is also an "一般人(ordinary person)". In the first place, all Japanese people are "ordinary people" and the imperial family is special. Therefore, he was not opposed by the Japanese people because he was an "ordinary person". Most Japanese people respect and cherish the imperial family. I was suspicious of Kei Komuro's attitude, which he did not explain to many suspicions, even though he knew the feelings of the people. Of course, some Japanese are not against this marriage. Some Japanese are indifferent to this topic. Some say it's pitiful to oppose the marriage of two people in love. I personally do not oppose Makosama marriage. However, I would like you to know that the reason why this marriage has become an opposition mood in Japan is that there are various backgrounds and various suspicions about Kei Komuro and his family. I don't like the information in Japan being transmitted in a biased manner. I think Asianboss's activity itself is wonderful. Asia is wide. There are various ways of thinking, and the perception may change depending on the country. I find it difficult to tell things in a completely flat state. However, I would be very happy if you could convey information to people in all countries with compassion.🌼

What Japanese people are afraid of is that Japanese taxpayers' money is going to be spent on her to keep her living standard. Kei Komuro is obviously not for a lawyer. He fails to reasonably refute the allegation he and his mother face, and on the contrary distrust of him is spreading among people . A lot of people doubt he is able to succeed. In Newyork, everything is expensive, but their income isn't enough for living a wealthy life she lived for 30 years. Can she endure it ? Isn't it likely that she plays on her royal family's heartstrings for money? If it happens the government has no choice but to give her money. There is no justice.

As a Japanese, I feel this problem very complicated. Before some problems about Kei Komuro were discovered, many Japanese people blessed and welcomed their marriage. But then, his mother's financial problems and the process by which they made all the decisions forcibly for marriage were the reasons for the harder criticism. And now they have been criticized for spending large amounts of tax privately. And it was also because Princess Mako criticized the citizens at the briefing session for the citizens. Of course it is not hair issue 😂 It is believed that his personality cannot protect Princess Mako. On the other hand, many people support and worry about her. The media broadcasts radically. Things are much worse than they were a few years ago.... *And Mako didn't give up Royal, basically She wanted to leave the imperial family. because being princess is tired.

The old lady getting interviewed in the dark showed the most empathy towards Mako as a human being and as a woman. This is something Mako truly wanted. She is right. But I also understand why people would be wary of Kei K. I would want my friend to marry someone I know would be able to provide for and protect her (even if she is fully capable of it herself.) specially someone that might have money problems. Him failing the bar exam kinda signalled like flashing lights to the world that he's not ready for marriage, but as a woman who has loved, I know her feelings don't care about that. I'm glad she married and I wish her all the best.

True love has no boundaries, exemplified by the love of 2 people, the princess Mako and Kei Komuro. I wish them well and many blessings from heaven above.

I want everyone to think about it. What do you think if you say that the man is currently unemployed and the mother of the fiancée's man is arguing about debt, but then the man and the princess of your country get married?

I heard one of the TV channels in Japan decided not to broadcast the live press conference of Princess Mako and her husband, and instead, showed the film 'Blade', which came out back in 1998.

I think that is a big one, even entertainers in my country(Korea) was under lot of pressure when they were accused of debt of their parents. They might not have responsibility in the law, but they have to choose either doing the 'right' thing(returning money on behalf of the debt, the logic behind this was they got benefit since some of that money were used to their education) or being cancelled. Even entertainers have pressure like this... I can't imagine how much pressure there would be if we had actual royal family.

The first thing to keep in mind that differentiates the emperor from foreign kings is that the emperor has authority, but not power. The emperor is attached to a religion with Shintoism at its peak. Is the Pope free to marry? As a result of living freely like the King of Thailand, he has left Thailand and is living in Germany. Does this earn him the trust of the people?

in my country, some kings and even crown prince married with commoner. it used to be big news before, but once one person did it, it became kind of not shocking anymore. it still big news but less shock. and i supported Princess Mako, she should get married to someone that she love and be happy. she have only one life, no need to waste it for political or etc.

That girl with glasses have no idea about the famous story of how Emperor Naruhito chased after commoner Empress Masako, huh? And how so many in Japan fell in love with Empress Masako, so much that her house was a tourist destination. How Emperor Naruhito defended the then depressed Empress Masako from the meddling imperial household.. how he still protects her until now, by refusing to burden her too much with assignments. Or how Emperor Akihito defied tradition to marry Empress Michiko, the first empress from a commoner background.. Former princesses Sayako, Ayako and many more had all married commoners. The difference with Komuro Kei is none of them have money scandal surrounding their family.

It's not a surprise that Princess Mako and Prince Harry both escaped for lives more common in the US. And its the media and royalists that drove them to that.

I feel very sad that the Japanese people who oppose this marriage are misunderstood. Due to the following facts that English news does not report, we Japanese learned of Kei's repeated lies. Because of that, we objected him to become a relative of our Imperial Family (the symbol of Japan; existing by the trust, respect, and taxes from people): When this money problem between Kei's mother and her ex-fiance was discovered (2017), Kei was asked by Akishino (Mako's father), which he replied "I didn't know about this at all." However, Kei himself joined the meeting about this money problem with his mother and her ex-fiance, then recorded the conversation (2012). Kei, who was ordered to explain to the public by Akishino, created "Komuro Document" by quoting only a part of the recorded data and published it (April 2021). He turned the ex-fiance into a liar, claimed it was not a debt but a gift. Immediately after that, the ex-fiance submitted all the recorded data, then we found out that Kei was a liar. Only four days after Komuro Document was released, Kei changed his attitude and announced his intention to pay the settlement fee. However, after that, though the ex-fiance proposed a discussion for the settlement fee, Kei kept refusing it and ignoring him. Six months after the announcement of the intention of the settlement fee, Kei forced the marriage without solving anything (October 2021). At the press conference immediately after the marriage (October 26, 2021), Kei said, "Occasionally, my mother and I have expressed to her ex-fiance our gratitude." "I received a positive response from him regarding the negotiations." However, the ex-fiance later announced "There is no such fact in either case." After getting married, Kei finally met him just before he went to the United States and "agreed to pay a settlement fee" (November 2021), but the source of the money is not disclosed. In addition, Mako announced at the press conference after marriage that "I let Kei do that to his mother's ex-fiance since 2017." Also, Kei got a job at a high-end bank in Tokyo (although he quit it soon), entered a national graduate school, studied abroad in New York with a grant (Only one student can get the scholarship at Fordham University, but Kei didn't pass the bar exam though many of his classmates passed), and lived in New York for years. These unfair and costly lifestyle was helped by Akishino (through his friends). On the other hand, the ex-fiance ran out of money due to Kei's studying abroad at UCLA (2012) and the numerous luxurious demands by Kei's mother, he became unable to pay his mortgage and sold his house and car. He is now still working for a living in his 70s. About Kei's mother, she commits Survivor's pension fraud and Sickness/Injury benefits fraud. But the police doesn't investigate her though they arrest other people for the same crimes. These unfairness and abuse of power by the Imperial Family violate the Constitution of Japan. We Japanese have lost a great deal of trust and respect for our Imperial Family in the last few years. We feel hopeless the Imperial line will be moved to the Akishino family after the current Emperor retires.

It was interesting to hear and see Japanese citizen input. I never knew that there were still royal families. Are they still claiming divine ancestry, is that how it works? I read that the Kojiki, or something, I don't remember the exact name, was an account on who in Japan was to be its righteous Emperor. Regardless, I thought it weird that, if that's how these families are deemed royal, that you could strip that divinity and title, by marrying non royalty. All in all, I'm very impressed and intrigued by her decision, and it puts a smile on my face. Love is still out there, and is still a believed concept that carries a lot of meaning. That's what I think about hearing this story, it's mad inspiring. She's so polite and respectful, madkey graceful, but very steadfast in what she believes in.

As far as I'm aware, rules against royals/nobles marrying commoners were almost universally put in place because if it happened, it would significantly reduce the legitimacy of the family and therefore threaten their position as royals/nobility. Since that is far less of a concern nowadays, I'd argue that that rule is outdated, even though I'd still argue that it should be encouraged that the royal family still not marry commoners since, even now, if every single person in the family is married to some random person in the street, they would lose a significant amount of legitimacy.
