The Japanese Imperial family is the oldest hereditary monarchy in the world, dating back to the sixth century BC.

I think there's one important thing to know before watching this video. Almost all the people in the allied countries must regard Japan as evil in the WW2. However, was there any difference between the countries and Japan on colonialism? The answer is No. The vested interest group bullied Japan as a newcomer.
Thanks for your comment. We also recoommend this documentary about Kate Middleton - ruclips.net/video/2dlpKcL29sg/видео.html Maybe you'll like it. 👍🏽❤️🎬
correct me if i am wrong, but before 1945, despite the emperor of japan was recognised as divine, the emperor is not necessarily holding absolute power. through many period of history, the real power lies in the hand of shogun, not the emperor
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We recommend other documents on our channel. 👍🏽❤️🎬
Correct. Emperor held spiritual (heavenly) power. The Shogun held temporal (earthly) power. The real power was on earth.
The shogun was abolished during world war two. Tojo and his advisers wanted the war.
Shortly, it's the Americans meddling in Japan's internal affairs that keep them from resolving their issues internally.

Agreed
Maybe but its also up to the people of Japan to resolve their issues even if the US is or not meddling in their affairs on certain issues
Were you not paying attention to the video? Japan was invaded by the United States and the Allies after 1945, and the country's economy was completely shattered. In fact, it was the main part of the Japanese's surrendering terms that the emperor system and the emperor would not be touched. Trialing the emperor for being involved in the war at that time would not solve anything but caused more violence and unrest amonng the Japanese society. The urgent task at that time was to restore Japan's economy, and the entire country needed a sympolic hope to hold on and continue to work toward that restoration. General MacArthur forsaw it and persuaded Washington to keep the Emperor. He even convinced Washington to send economic aid to Japan at that time, as the foundation for Japanese to build on it. It wasn't meddlig but an act of reassurance that Japan could thrive after a devasting war. Whether Emperior should be trialed or held reponsible, or even the entire existence of emperor system should exist, it is up to the young generations in Japan to decide. They are the future and they have the power to decide those national matters by making their voices heard in any national election. Isn't it how democracy should work?
Sorry to nitpick, but Japan has an imperial family, not a royal family.
This documentary is full of factual errors. The Showa Era lasted 64 years, not 67. The Heisei Eraa began in 1989, not 1990, among others.

social media documentary
If the 'Meiji' (??) Emperor was mentally ill and had a lot of genetic issues going on with him...... how on God's green earth did he manage to flush out for completely healthy sons? I know that this is a very controversial thought but is there any possibility at all that the so-called four Sons may not have been his own personal Offspring but instead people that they put in place to fill a particular role? This is not something that is completely unheard of having been done in certain sectors of Western Royal societies.
@Official_Royalworld Why are you ignoring and never correcting the errors? Before making this document, you should have ensured that all details were correct, knowing that these are crucial. Yet, you are just promoting your other video.
Not only Yakuza but so many people are proud of the history of Japan and emperor system. I don’t think the hysterical people’s act is normal.
Thank you for your feedback!👍🎬♥️
While this documentary gives good historical facts, it’s interpretation is largely skewed towards a biased anti-Japan perspective: the doc ignores the wartime perspective of Japan that they were liberating Asia from western imperialism. It also portrays Japan erroneously as “unique” in its failure to address WW2 responsibility…. When in fact Italy equally ignores its war responsibility… everywhere in Italy Fascist monuments still stand, and Mussolini is still venerated by large parts of the population. In fact the current government of Italy is run by the descendant of Mussolini’s Fascist party. So suggesting that Japan is uniquely guilty, is false. Furthermore the documentary’s suggestion that somehow Japan or Hirohito are to be blamed for Hiroshima & Nagasaki… is frankly offensive. The Atomic bomb and its atrocities are solely the responsibility of the U.S.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We appreciate your insights and hope you still found the movie engaging.
The Cadet branches and the Princes of the blood of the Imperial family need to be restored to the wider line of succession so that the Yamato dynasty doesn't unnecessarily suffer a succession crisis.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 👍🎬♥️

That is what I think, as well.
The emperor of Japan had no more control over the Japanese military than King George VI had over the British military. Both were figureheads.
The Meiji Constitution vested all sovereignty in the emperor, by virtue of his "divine ancestry." He had the power to appoint and dismiss all minsters. The constitution also gave him command of the army and the navy. If you really think he was powerless, how was it in 1945 he was able to break his government's stalemate and order Japan's surrender?
@@daniel_sc1024that’s the same with the Queen of England, exactly as the OP stated.

@@alesh2275 The British monarch's powers are exercised by his ministers, and as a constitutional monarch he is required to follow the "advice" of said ministers. Edward VIII didn't want to follow said advice, and was obliged to abdicate. No such restraint was placed on the Japanese emperor under the Meiji Constitution. Another difference is the British ministry is composed of leaders of the party that won the majority of the election; under the Meiji Constitution, the emperor appointed and dismissed ministers at will, without any regard to political party.
He was documented as playing a substantial role in the war. For instance, after Guadalcanal he insisted on a new campaign in New Guinea, which was carried out (and failed). He also insisted on a stronger offensive on Okinawa, causing additional forces to be deployed there.
@@alesh2275 Don't measure everything against your western yardstick.
Thank you so much for this document. It is very interesting and well done. Love your channel.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for your feedback! Stay tuned for more content! 👍🏽❤️🎬
Hirohito was very aware of what his war minions were up to. He failed the world, he failed his people. He failed the slaughtered civilians and waring armies. Awful criminal behaviour perpetrated by all in the name of the emperor. They matter.
The emperor and the imperial family have already done enough to make amends for their involvement in the war. They have always supported peace and never the option to war, or sided with the Japanese right wing. They have never visited Yasukuni shrine, or sent the current family members to serve in the military, which shows their stance on making amends for their involvement in WWII. If anything, the politicians should be making more effort to make amends.

Well then, since the Japan royal family cannot even influence its ministers' stances (who still visit the Yasukini shrine to pay respect to Class A war criminals) and nobody pays heed of their advice, then what is the use of spending tax payer's money to keep them going. They don't even play any diplomatic role unlike the monarchies of many other countries.
This is so important. Also worth reading is Mizuki Shigeru's "Showa" series. Three graphic novels (huge) about his experiences as a conscript/graphic designer in South Asia.

Japan has not royal,we have the imperial family.
Thank you for your comment.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support! 👍🏽❤️🎬
British monarchy is embarassing compared to japanese monarchy
Not necessarily we just don't know what goes on behind closed curtains over in japan. That's the only difference and much to their credit the Japanese monarchy keeps 90% of the goings-on completely private.
The problem of the title is there were no single one of them use the title of royal

Japan does not have an 'emperor system'.
👍🏽❤️🎬
The comment that the Japanese Emperor's position in relation to Shintoism is akin to the position of the Pope in Catholic countries is absurdly erroneous and quite frankly, ridiculous. Otherwise, it's a very interesting and informative documentary.
Thank you for your feedback! Stay tuned for more content! 👍🏽❤️🎬
It’s actually correct: the Japanese Emperor never really had political power, only symbolism tied in with Japan’s Shinto religion. Anyone that tells you otherwise does not know Japanese history.
The comparison between the position of the Japanese Emperor and the Pope in the West is a relevant one. There has been a kind of division of power between Emperors (ceremonial/spiritual authority) and Shogunates (political/military rulers) throughout much of Japanese history, similar to the division between Popes and Kings in the West. This remains true today.
The word king is more suitable than the word emperor

If modern americans had even the slightest idea of just how evil japan was during wwii they would stop watching anime altogether.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 👍🎬🕵️♂️
And you need to remember that, the Americans, that trashed and destroyed Japan, and the whole Pearl Harbour thing as well.... and the nuclear bombs in the Hiroshima... Germans that fled Europe and Russian that fled Europe and went into the USA.. that helped build their bombs, and that ended up actually destroying SE Asia... and many people who went to war, and from the USA, were actually Chinese ethnicities.. or rather, what we call as "Asians" today.... as well... so...
日本のアニメは見ないで下さいね。
日本の文化と歴史を結びつけて、悪いものだと決めつけて欲しくない。
一生戦時中を生きてるんだなお前😂
All want Japan to abolish the royal but wants to continue europian specially British royal family... How shameless 😂
Thank you for your comment. 🙏🕵️♂️
日本天皇的存在與原住民形成了矛盾，既然天皇祖先也是外來移民？不是原住民，蝦夷族，愛伊奴族？怎麼有資格作天皇？“天孫駕天槃從天而降”？
👍🏽❤️🎬
How did they become emperors? It's pretty simple: The Japanese royal family is directly descended from the Yamato Clan, who unified Japan for the first time about 1,500 years ago. That's how.
What's unique about Japan is that, unlike many other countries such as China, where one dynasty was repeatedly challenged and replaced by another through wars, the Yamato have been the only dynasty in Japanese history. This remained true even after the Shogunates (military rulers) took political power away from the Yamato clan, leaving them with only ceremonial and spiritual duties.
The political and military rulers have changed many times in Japan, but the royal family survived mainly because they were content with their ceremonial and spiritual duties, not trying to regain political or military power.
Which "foreign origin" do Japanese emperor have?
The Japanese royal family has existed for 2500 years, according to Kokiki 古事記 and Nihonshoki 日本書紀. If you think they have "foreign" ancestors just because some of them marry a foreign princess, then most royal families in the world have foreign origin lol. International marriages are popular in courts of many countries. Not to forget that Yuan dynasty and Qing dynasty rulers are both of foreign origins
The Ainu lived in Hokkaido in Japan and on remote islands now taken over by Russia.
In the rest of the country, Japan ancestors lived
