I would like to add something that is a little confusing. What I am saying in this video is that as a single dynasty, Japan is the longest. In other regions, dynasties have fallen many times. So each time a new country is born. China, too, has changed countries many times: Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Qing, and so on. But Japan has never been destroyed for more than 2,600 years, and Japan remains Japan. What the woman in this video is saying is that Japan has the longest history as a nation in the world. If it is history as a civilization, Europe, the Middle East, and China have much longer histories than Japan.
It is a bit long, but since it is a good opportunity, I will briefly explain the "Emperor" and the "Shogunate" in three parts. ■What is the Emperor to the Japanese people?■ Many Japanese love the Emperor, and about 80% of the Japanese people support the Emperor System. There is a theory that the Emperor System should be abolished, but it has not been able to gain the support of the people. I think this proves that most Japanese people believe that the Emperor System plays an important role and function in maintaining the nation's operation. The Emperor is only a symbol of the nation, and the Constitution prohibits his involvement in national politics. As for political actions, he only endorses the Prime Minister and Supreme Court judges elected by nomination by the Diet, saying, "I approve," and signing constitutional amendments, laws, decrees, and ordinances, and ceremoniously "approving" the conference of the Diet and dissolution of the House of Representatives. There is no involvement of the Emperor's will, opinion, or judgment. And he also performs general acts（such as comforting disaster victims, participating in award ceremonies, and other activities）and administers Shinto rituals. Also, there is no doubt that he lives a simple life compared to the heads of other countries. Perhaps, for these reasons, we see daily criticism and abuse on social networking sites against prime ministers and other politicians, but minimal against the Emperor. Of course, people are free to criticize the Εmperor, but there are a few voices. The Emperor, who lives a simple life without spending taxes, is not a hindrance to Japan, even if he benefits it, so the abolitionists have no power of persuasion. It is OK to badmouth politicians as much as you want (and you may even get their approval), but you should be careful about badmouthing the Emperor. Not only will many Japanese not agree with you, but you will not make a good impression. ■What is the relationship between the Emperor and the Shogunate?■ There seems to be a question about the Emperor's position when the Shogunate once ran Japan. The Emperor has always been the head of state and coexists with other powers until today. To put it bluntly, the Shogunate was originally a group of "samurai." Samurai originated as vigilantes or hired bouncers, eventually becoming a group organized into the Shogunate. Since the Shogunate was based on military power, its power was immense in the feudal world, but in the early days of the Shogunate, there was no legitimate "authority." So the Shogunate needed and used the "emperor" as an authority figure to govern the country. It was not in the best interest of the Shogunate to abolish the Emperor, who had enjoyed the absolute trust and respect of the people since the dawn of history. Furthermore, the Emperor was accepted with untouchable religious connotations. It is the same reason why the U.S. did not forcibly abolish the Emperor System when Japan lost in World War II. The U.S. decided that if they canceled the Emperor System, the Japanese people would riot, and the U.S. would not be able to govern Japan well. The Emperor said to MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in the U.S., who met with the Emperor shortly after the war ended. "I am the only person responsible for all the decisions and actions, both political and military, of the Japanese people in the conduct of the war. I am here to submit myself to the judgment of the Allied Powers, which you represent." Upon hearing this, MacArthur recalled his memory, "I thought that the Emperor before me was the best gentleman in Japan, even as a human being. I was intensely moved," he wrote in his memoirs. In addition, MacArthur was so moved by the Εmperor's remarks that he changed his address to the Εmperor from "You" to "Your Majesty." It is because many heads of state in defeated countries are supposed to beg for their lives, but the Εmperor did not do so. Back to the Emperor and the Shogun; the Emperor remained on the throne even during the Shogunate regime, as I said. Still, in the 13~14th century, Emperor Godaigo overthrew the Shogunate, claiming that the Emperor should rule the country. After some twists and turns, he temporarily assumed political power, but this was short-lived, and a different shogun established a new shogunate system. In any case, Emperor Godaigo was the only one who organized an army to wage war against the Shogunate. (The band "Godiego" is named after this rare and courageous Emperor.) Emperor Godaigo was naturally unforgivable in the eyes of the Shogunate, but even so, the Shogunate did not kill him but exiled him to an island. Thus, historically, there seems to be an unwritten rule among the Japanese people that an emperor must not be killed. However, the only Emperor to be assassinated was Emperor Sushun (592). It happened before the creation of the shogunate system, and the assassin was a powerful family in conflict with each other (it's a highly complex story, so I will not explain it). ■Is Japan the oldest country in the world?■ I think there is some disagreement that "Japan has the longest history in the world." （China, in particular, would not like to admit it, I suppose.） At any rate, "the oldest country in the world" is a matter of definition and interpretation. Suppose the bloodline is the same, and the length of succession is the criterion; in that case, Japan is the oldest nation in the world, which is also "Guinness World Records." (I learned that Denmark was founded around the 10th century during the Viking Age in Scandinavian history. But been inhabited since around 12,000 B.C., and agriculture began approximately 3,000 B.C. In that sense, Denmark is older than Japan? ). Needless to say, Egypt and Greece, for example, have a long history. Still, they have ceased to be nations at one time or another due to invasion by foreign enemies, and in China, too, monarchs are murdered with each change of dynasty, and although the land does not change, it cannot be said that the same people have ruled for all time. In this sense, Japan has never been destroyed, never colonized, and ruled by a single monarch (the Emperor), which is unique worldwide. Thank you very much for reading the above long article. I am not good at English, so I think some points were difficult to understand. Also, I may have included some personal opinions, but I have tried to write objective facts as much as possible.
WOW! Thank you very much for taking the time to provide more information about Japans history. We are very much interested in learning Japanese history as it is very interesting. We are looking forward to make more reactions about the history of Japan. Mr Nielsen is been watching Shogunate series. Once again thank you. Greeting from Dk
@@NielsensTV2 My pleasure. Thank you for being so interested in Japan. I want to correct one potentially misleading point. The last time I wrote, "The Emperor, who lives a simple life without spending taxes," the Emperor is basically supported by taxes. I meant, "It's a tiny percentage of Japan's tax revenues, and the Emperor's lifestyle is frugal and thrifty."
Japan is a country of gods centered on His Majesty the Emperor. Moreover, it is the oldest dynasty in the world that still exists. This year is 2682, the same year as Emperor Jimmu. Japan has a history of 3000 years. After World War II, Emperor Showa told the United States that he would take all responsibility for the war. He clearly said that he could be sentenced to any capital punishment. It was a war that clearly had a cause for the Japanese, but I can't complain because it is a defeated country. However, ordinary kings and emperors start crying to save their own lives, or there are many monarchs who flee abroad in the history of the world, but only the Japanese emperor is completely different. The emperor is truly a national treasure, and the people are also an important treasure of the emperor. Such history and traditions support Japan today. But sadly, young Japanese these days have forgotten history. This is because the American GHQ forced the Japanese to educate themselves on masochism. Americans are afraid of Japanese people. That's why I forced the important spirit of education and Japan to change after the war. Overseas, Emperor Showa is sometimes mistaken for a dictator similar to the cruel Hitler, which is a very sad reality for Japanese people. I want people from overseas to know about the Japanese emperor as much as possible.
In the past, samurai were guards of the emperor. The top of the samurai is the shogun. The shogun had more power than the emperor. However, even though he was a general, he knew that he could not maintain power by disobeying the authoritative emperor. Because the people didn't allow it. Before the Tokugawa period, wars between local samurai (daimyo) were fought in Japan. The battle was between samurai (daimyo), and no non-combatant civilians were killed. The people were considered to be the sons of the emperor. The lack of walls in Japanese castles meant that the citizens of the defeated samurai regions were not killed or enslaved. In the end, the Tokugawa family won the battle and unified the country, but the emperor continues to be the authority to this day. It is the oldest in the world in terms of continuing as one bloodline (dynasty), and is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

Japanese royal family is same royal family.
This fact is miracle.
Another country royal family has changed blood.
私は、日本に日本人として産まれた事を、誇りに思います！
I am a young Japanese, but I love His Majesty the Emperor. Tracing the ancestors of His Majesty the Emperor leads to God.
When Emperor Jinmu founded Japan, he said that Japan is the home of the Japanese people and that all Japanese are one family.
その民族的な歴史では、古い民族はたくさんあるけど国家として同じロイヤルファミリーがい続ける国は最古が日本で、ギネスにも載ってる

ヨーロッパの方々の王室、王族の方々への見方、考え方はわかりませんが日本人は「天皇陛下」が大好きなんですよ。
もしかしたら情熱的な説明をなさっている方に引いているかも知れませんが、近隣諸国や左翼に散々言われている結果とご理解頂けたら嬉しいです。
日本人は第二次世界大戦は日本が100%悪い戦争だった…、と教育を受けます。
当時ヨーロッパ諸国、アメリカが各地に植民地を統治していた時代、日本だけが各国を侵略していた。
また、アメリカ等からの石油等の輸入をストップされ交渉で一歩も前に進まなかった…、（他にも色々な干渉を受けたり等ありますが）ハワイ攻撃に至ります。
しかも日本はいきなり奇襲攻撃をした…、と歴史で習いますが事実は外交官のミスで「宣戦布告」が遅れたという事です。
日本人の外交官のミスで「宣戦布告」が遅れ、奇襲攻撃となってしまったので、「卑怯」と言われても仕方ありませんが…。
個人的な考えですが
日本だけが悪いとは少しも思っていません。
また、相手国だけが悪いとも考えてはいません。
厳然たる事実としてあの戦争を経て、アジアの国々が独立を果したのも間違いありません。
インド、インドネシア等トップが実際に何度も話しています。
ロシアとウクライナの戦争もそうですが、背後のアメリカ等も視野に入れたら一方的にどちらが悪いとは言い切れません。
イラク等を当然ロシアのトップも見ていますので、対立陣営としては自分達の生存、利益の為に「必要」と考えるのも理解はできます。
尚念の為、私はロシアを支持していませんし、腹も立てています。
ただ、国と国の戦争で100対 0でどちらが全て悪、善とは中々なりません。
長々と私見を綴ってすみません。
ご夫妻の活躍、皆様のご健勝をお祈り致します。
