This is May in Japan.
The new name of next imperial era was announced by the government, yesterday.
This is the name, "Reiwa".
Emperor Akihito is 85 years old.
He is going to step down at the end of April.
Crown Prince Naruhito will replace him May 1.
It is the beginning of the new era.
In other times, Japanese people were unhappy over the new name of next imperial era, because Emperor passed away.
However, Japanese people feel so happy, because the Emperor's abdication is possible while an emperor is still alive.
Because many Japanese people respect Emperor Akihito.
So do I.
By the way, May 1st is my birthday !!
