Before the marriage... 3 of His Majesty's schoolmates opened their mouths and said, "We cannot agree with their marriage from the bottom of our hearts”

 


Mako, 29, the eldest daughter of the Akishino family, and Kei Komuro, whose family and himself have been the subject of numerous scandals, are scheduled to marry and hold a press conference on October 26. While newspapers and TV stations have been unnaturally celebrating the marriage, the weekly magazine "FLASH" interviewed people with close ties to the Imperial Family and received negative comments from all of them.

 

It says:

 

"As a human being, I'm sure you'd be happy to be with someone you love. But in this case, I think it's an impossible marriage. You won't be happy with an unreasonable marriage.”

 

　So said Naohiro Sanada, who has been a schoolmate of His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, Mako’s grandfather, since his primary school days at Gakushuin.

 

"In September 2017, when Mako and Mr. Komuro announced their engagement, the public was in a celebratory mood. However, when the financial troubles of Ms. Komuro's mother, Kayo, were reported in February 2018, the mood quickly changed. The engagement was postponed, and His Imperial Highness Prince Akishino set as a condition for the marriage 'a situation that will satisfy and please many people.

 

Do you think that "many people are satisfied and happy" with your marriage? FLASH interviewed three of His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus' schoolmates who have felt the special presence of the Imperial Family close to them for decades, and they all had mixed feelings about the marriage.

 

"To put it bluntly, from the very beginning, I thought it would be better for Mr. Komuro to have no connection with the Imperial Family.” said Mototsugu Akashi. Mr. Akashi had been a close friend of His Majesty even after graduating from Gakushuin University, and was informed in advance of His Majesty's announcement of his "feelings" regarding abdication before his death.

 

He said: "I believe that the Imperial Family, which has been in existence for 2,600 years, has been watching the people from a high place, apart from politics and personal issues. However, this marriage is the result of the fulfillment of a personal desire to be united with the person she loves. This is the same way of thinking as that of ordinary families, and I regret it very much.”

 

According to Mr. Akashi, this marriage was also influenced by her grandfather and grandmother.

 

"They thought that if they could have a family and live in the same way as the people, they would be able to create an Imperial Family that could rejoice and grieve together with the people, and I think they put this into practice. Thanks to his efforts, he has been able to build a wonderful Imperial Family, but I think that this marriage is the result of his excessive efforts. I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor's inner thoughts are, but I'm sure he is worried about it. Even so, I think he has no choice but to let nature take its course.

 

Mr. Takuji Suzuki, another schoolmate, believes that the twists and turns in the marriage were caused by the Akishino family's dislike of Gakushuin.

 

Takuji Suzuki believes that the family's dislike of Gakushuin was a major factor in the twists and turns of the marriage. "The Akishino family seems to have a strong resistance to the so-called Ancien Régime, which is centered on Gakushuin. Princess Mako is a student at ICU, and Princess Eugene is a student at Ochanomizu University Junior High School. However, Gakushuin has a large percentage of people who are sympathetic to the Imperial Family, and it is highly likely that they will be able to meet people with the same values and the same level of life. As a general rule of marriage, it would be easier to work things out that way."

 

However, now that their marriage has been decided, Mako would like to open up a new world in New York.

 

"The ideal marriage would be one that 120 million people could say, 'Hooray!” But that's not the case. I really feel sorry for Princess Mako. However, there is also a Japanese association over there, so if she can select the right people to go out with, she should be able to lead a new life without any bashing. I hope she will do her best.

 

None of the three schoolmates expressed their heartfelt approval of the marriage.

　

There have been numerous comments on the Internet in response to this article, and it is regarded as "proof that this is not a situation that many people understand and accept this marriage.”

Kei Komuro Receives "JFK Award": a New Allegation of Career Fraud?

Image
  New doubts have been raised about Komuro's biography posted on the website of Lowenstein Sandler, the law firm where Kei Komuro is employed.   This is because it stated that Komuro had received the "JFK Profile in Courage Award".   According to a report in the weekly magazine "Josei Jishin" dated the 12th of this month,   The award, named after the book "Courageous Men" by John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, honors individuals who have demonstrated outstanding political leadership. The award is selected mainly from politicians and civil servants, and former U.S. President Barack Obama and former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan are among the past recipients.

Kei Komuro's Mother Criminally Charged with Fraud

Image
    With the wedding of Kei Komuro to Princess Mako, the eldest daughter of the Akishino family, approaching on October 26, Komuro's mother, Kayo, was criminally accused of fraud on October 6, and journalist Shinohara Soichiro, who is active on YouTube and other media, filed a complaint with the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.   There are two reasons why Kayo was accused. The first is the allegation of fraudulent receipt of the survivor's pension. Kayo lost her husband, Toshikatsu, in 2002, and has been receiving a survivor's pension since then. However, there was a period of time during which she received financial support from her ex-fiancee, Mr. A. During her engagement with Mr. A, she reportedly sent him e-mails  in which she asked him to keep her de facto marriage with Mr. A a secret while she was receiving her husband's survivor's pension. If she began to live with another man after her husband's death, she would no longer be eligible...

What is the Komuro's Debt Problem?  After the death of Kei Komuro's father, Kei's mother Kayo, received financial support of over 4 million yen (some $36.44K) from her then fiancé during the engagement period in the name of Kei's school fees and living expenses. After the engagement was dissolved, the former fiancé requested that these monies be repaid as a loan, but Komuro's mother and Kei did not repay the money, claiming that it was a donation.   The issue was first reported by the Japanese women's weekly magazine, Shukan Josei, in December 2017, three months after the announcement of Mako and Komuro's informal engagement.   https://www.jprime.jp/articles/-/11267   In the article above, we can see from the entries in the bank passbook that the ex-fiancee had been sending money one after another as Kayo told him to.   This issue triggered various scandals involving Komuro's mother and Kei, which came to light one after another. 'The Financi...

Classmate Bullying by Komuro

Image
Three cases of bullying by Kei Komuro against his classmates from his elementary school days have been reported so far.   (1) The first victim was A, a male classmate from the elementary school attached to the National College of Music.   A was a good friend of Kei, but he started to be bullied by Kei in the summer of his fifth year after Kei's father's suicide. Kei, together with the kid leader, bullied A by calling him nicknames, singing songs that made fun of his nicknames, deliberately not showing up for meetings with A, and laughing when he saw A looking for Kei. He also kicked a ball at A at close range with several classmates under the guise of soccer practice, shouted at A :"Don't come to school!” from the classroom window. He was often absent from school and the bullying continued until they both graduated from elementary school. In addition, Weekly Bunshun also interviewed another classmate from elementary school, B, who admitted that there had been b...

US to Pay for Mako and Kei's Security in the US, Japan Reports

Image
    Mako Komuro and Kei Komuro arrived in New York, U.S.A. on November 14 and started their new life. At Kennedy International Airport, NYPD officers provided security.   What will happen to their security in the future? According to a Japanese police source quoted by "Bunshun Online" on November 14,   “In the United States, the Japanese police have no authority whatsoever. Carrying a handgun is a no-no.   If people knew that Mako was a former princess of Japan, the world's third largest economy, there was a good chance that she would be targeted by robbers or kidnappers. In the U.S., where the new coronavirus is spreading again, discrimination against Asians is said to be continuing, and there is a risk of being attacked by thugs, so security should be necessary.   However, the Japanese police cannot do anything about it. In the end, the reality is that we have no choice but to leave security to the New York Police Department and othe...

Reported Scandals: The Japanese Will Never Accept Komuro

Image
  Bizarre English-language newspaper: Focuses only on debt problems   Is the debt problem the only problem of Komuro, Princess Mako’s boyfriend? No. Curiously, the Western media seems to be trying to limit his problems to the debt problem. Whose intention is this?   Let's take the Japan Times, for example, one of the leading English-language newspapers in Japan. The headline "Money row tied to princess's boyfriend may end in settlement" at the end of April this year is full of congratulations. This makes it seem as if Mako and Komuro can get married as long as they pay off their debts. (In fact, there is no sign of a settlement at all, as you can see in this article .)   In addition, there is no report of any harsh words by the Emperor or the results of various polls. For the Emperor's words, see here . For the results of the public opinion poll, see here .   What is the Root of the Japanese People's Rejection? In reality, it is not...

Kei Komuro Fails NY State Bar Exam?

  The NY State Board of Law Examiners announced the list of successful applicants on its official website on July 29.   https://www.nybarexam.org/EXJ21/July2021Results.htm   I can't find Komuro's name on the "K to L" page of this list of successful candidates.   According to reports in Japan, the salary at the law firm where Komuro is employed is about 18 million yen for a lawyer in his first year. The salary for a non-lawyer law clerk is believed to be around 6.5 million yen.   If he fails to pass the exam, it will already cast a pall over the newlywed life of the Komuros in New York.   The New York State bar exam is held twice a year, and the next exam will be held in February 2022.
