Princess Nori's story defied the strict traditions of the imperial family, and we'll discuss how she learned to live a regular life, even though she grew up in a luxurious palace.

You guys didn’t get this right.
I’m a local Japanese living in Japan. When a female princess in the imperial household marries a commoner, she automatically becomes a commoner by tradition. They no longer are allowed to marry another royal as the kids would have genetic issues as bloodlines are too close. So when royals marry they just marry a commoner. In japan you take husbands name to carry his last name by law unless you have family business that you want your husband to carry your last name. So quite naturally when these princesses marry a commoner they automatically lose titles by design. It is not up to them.
And you guys didn’t get it right. These princesses get special upbringing from the young age as they are assumed they would become “commoners”. In reality they don’t become real commoners there would be protections around them and there’s is zero chance they would be homeless or go bankrupted or anything like that. But they do lose titles officially that’s all. They still visit their emperor dad or empress mom, their royal family relatives and they’re not really commoners in reality.
Btw, that empress Michiko you described her as “too low class”…she is NOT at all considered as low class. She comes from the richest family of Japan. Her father owned Showa Flour corporation one of the richest man in Japan at the time. She was very tall, considered strikingly beautiful and came from a very rich family. She didn’t really need to marry the prince as she suffered after marrying him due to so much pressure but she came from one of the richest family in Japan. Hardly a low class.
If you’re going to introduce imperial family of Japan, please do more homework and introduce facts, as you got many things wrong here.
This is not about marrying a commoner and NO JAPANESE PRINCESSES EVER GIVE UP HER IMPERIAL TITLE in order to marry a commoner. When you give someone NO CHOICE, then that is not a choice so no choice is not a choice......SO stop with your freaking nonsense as if these Japaneses princesses have tons of royal men or aristocrat men to marry instead they have chosen to marry a commoner. Unlike other royal houses around the world, the Japanese royal house is as MISOGYNISTIC as it can get, even in the Arab royal houses women aren't treated as such since in the Arab royal houses although women can not become rulers but when they marry their commoner husbands they don't get to be ostracized like in the Japanese royal house. Lastly, the Japanese royal houses have not been married among themselves for many generations so stop the freaking breeding bullshit excuse. Anyone can marry their third cousins. It is one's first cousin that is too close to have children with for genetic problems......SO STOP THIS FREAKING JAPANESE PRINCESSES CHOOSE TO LEAVE THE ROYAL HOUSE BY MARRYING COMMONERS........If a freaking Japanese prince can marry a commoner and still maintain his position as a prince so can a Japanese Princess SO STOP YOUR ANTI-WOMEN excuse for the sake of freaking tradition.......These small dicked Japanese men are just plain old misogynistic bastards
@KittenBowl1 Your thoughts about the event seem to be realistic. Those external " Holly-Golightly"-channels just want to gain clicks...they do not care about background knowledge.
TH-cam is full FULL OF RUBBISH , just in case most of you have not noticed also there are LOTS OF MALICIOUS youtube liars too are openly SMEAR race/ countries of their enemies and that is all OK WITH jewmerica ! ( of course, they own youtube...................)
True that. I listened for a few minutes and realized the youtuber did not conduct her homework. Or she just wanted to do whatever she pleases. Greetings from Indonesia.
Yup. That's right. And just my opinion, Japanese princesses meet difficulties to look for aristocratic men to marry in Japan because there may be few aristocratic men in Japan now. If they want to marry they look for commoners (or stay single forever if they can't find aristocratic men) except they marry foreign princes, such as Thai prince, they can keep their status. Even they marry commoners they are still the Emperor daughter and have some special privileges as the emperor daughter. It's impossible
they were blacklisted from the royal family just because they married a commoner. CMIIW.
Her choice was to either remain a princess of Japan or become one man's queen. She definitely made the better choice. ❤
Money can never buy happiness. The Princess made the right choice. Good for her.
She doesn't live in poverty at all and it's OK. What may be annoying it to pretend to be an average citizen.No ,she is upper class in the US and affluent and her parents' money has something to do with that.
It wasn't her choice. The Imperial Household Law of 1947 requires princesses who marry to leave the RF. She isn't the first one to lost her status because of marriage. Her married aunts lost their status after the law took effect.
It can buy, but it is temporary... it will not last long because there is no soul...❤❤❤❤❤
Kinda does though doesn't it, because with wealth comes freedoms
Once upon a time, I taught Empress Michiko's nephew's children for a year in my home. Here is the thing, the entire year I had no idea that this family was related to the Empress until after they moved away. After their move, I was invited to their new home, a simple and yet lovely home, the entire family very down to earth and lovely people and what a blessing I was ignorant that entire year.
Back to this story, this former princess looks genuinely happy and looks far more beautiful as she now has the freedom to wear her hair and clothes as she pleases.
@@Amethyst_Rain , I’m sorry what confidentiality did I give away? Simple life, simple home? If that is giving something away please explain.
A down to earth and true to herself, what will make her happy. Salute!
Wonderful that the former princess broke away from tradition! Good for her and I wish her all the blessings and joy in the world
I admire the princess leaving her life of a princess for the sake of love..May she will be blessed and live happily with her family.
She probably has a trust fund to support her into her retirement. So, money isn't an issue.
@@mparthur144 Princesses who get married are required by the Household Law to leave the RF. In that event, they are given a pension.
Princess is still a noble lady.
Happy for her and for the couple. Wish them the best!
Love conquers everything...after all money can't buy all the happiness
Nori's name is Sayako. Her title was Her Imperial Highness Princess Sayako, Princess Nori.
good for her, a woman with guts and belief.
I think Japanese royal can change their way of living in a heartbeat. They’re so humble and understanding. They take the time to learn and never think of the negative that might impact them to fail.
Love and contentment definitely are far more rewarding in one's decision in life.
Excellent.
Incredible !!
Always have respect for others!
God bless
She married her brother 's schoolmate in her 30s ! Her birthday is 18 April.
Doing dishes, now that’s true love ❤❤❤❤❤
Such cute, sweet geekiness. Adorable.
You can see a change in her eyes. From. Young girl with a glaze over her eyes, to a woman who genuinely smiles out of simple love.
She now has a more genuine smile. Happy for her.🎉 Sg
Notice how forced and rigid her smile was in the prison of the monarchy, when you see her now her smile looks more relaxed and she actually looks happy.
This is such a HUGE and risky gamble of her life. His husband should be loyal to her. She gave up everything just to be with him.
Happiness is priceless 👍❤️❤️❤️
Salute
She just want to be a normal human being , with no hypocrisy salute to her
The rule is that women who marry commoners must leave the Imperial Family. This is to prevent a takeover by a man of a different lineage coming from outside, as the Emperor is in principle a male-only position. For a woman to remain in the Imperial Family, existing rules require her to marry a male relative of the Imperial Family.
i like to live in grandeur ,because love alone cannot bring you to happiness when it comes to need something more than love like how to live with contentment..
Love Conquers ALL
Love and family are the most important things in life. It seems that the former princess won that lottery. God bless!
I have been praying for happiness since I was a child.
I find it sad that in the Japanese Royal Family, the Princess’s don’t have any chance to ascend to the Throne. This needs to be changed.
The British Royal Family doesn’t do that.
The Japanese need to update the rules that were put in place 100’s of years ago.
A Princess ought not lose her Royal status because of marrying a commoner. The British Royal Family Princesses do not lose their royal titles or status.
The rule of royal women losing titles if they marry a commoner was done fairly recent actually, only after WWII I think. That rule is the reason why there isn't a huge amount of aristocratic families in Japan. Aristocratic families with only daughters lost their titles and over time the amount of elegible aristocratic bachelors royal family princesses can marry dwindled. Japanese royal princesses are not even expected to stay a royal forever since decades ago. They can only keep the title if they marry a foreign prince or a male foreign/Japanese aristocrat (not many many exist now).
You're making it seem that Japanese royalty is all about luxury and grandeur ONLY. They are the gatekeepers of Japanese prestige and tradition. They wield a significant amount of power, yet they show so much restraint in this day and age.
Had to practise shopping!!!!!
Love above anything...!!! Even with the fights, changing ways of viewing everything and kids interfering... I would not have any other kind of marriage but for love...!!! Thanks the Lord, but even with moments of doubt, regret, even tones of disrespect, I had close to 60 years of a lovely life with my husband always learning, both of us, from each other and from life...!!! Both of us never stopped to grow as individuals and always kept that awe that just living together as human beings intended for us... Difficult to explain...
She’s not an exception. All princesses marry outside of family, of course, and then they lose the title.
Shame that hasn’t happened to Harry as he is no longer worthy of that title! And if Harry hasn’t got a title her title becomes null and void!
@@elitet3359You are an ill-informed hater. Shame. Get a life.
“ It’s LOVE that makes the world go ‘round….”
BEST WISHIS . .
And not a Netflix deal or puff piece in sight.
Love and contentment
love
Praises lifted for these wings of love. Value in materialism, stuff or value in people.....each man's choice.
Awwww….
respect. it is time to change this stupid rule.
Japan is a small country, once a princess forever a princess, ppl would recognize her everywhere and give her special treatment anywhere she goes no matter what!!
She didn't lose much besides the title, if anything, she's doing better than other Japanese royalty.
She should still have her title. She should still be with the Royal family,
Living in Tokyo is NOT expensive at all. It's actually cheaper than in the city of Zurich, Switzerland where I came from ! That's why I love living here in Tokyo and been living here for almost a decade now.
I can have a life of grandeur and yet have love, all at the same time😊
Lady’s really smart
The imperial family of Japan consists of only male family members. Therefore it was a traditional practice for female side of the family to marry out of the imperial households making the case of the princess nothing new. What’s different was that the princess’s husband, Mr. Kuroda was a public servant, unlike previous princesses families that were quite clearly high end upper class, but they all had to give up title and imperial lifestyle all the same, though previous princesses enjoyed civilian upper class lifestyles that are close to imperial lifestyles if not more luxurious.
She is adorable.
This was not only horribly written; your facts are incorrect.
It was different in my case. I was a housemaid and my rich and powerful employer wanted to marry me because he thought I was the key to his success.
He didn't realized that he's doomed. His actions had gripped him into spiral of misery 7x worse than what his life 10 years ago. He's got tonnes of regrets for what he's done to her. But things already become out of Control. 💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯🎯
Haik ! 🙏
What if she divorce and became single again. Can she goes back to her family and reinstate her Princess title
Once you are born princes you cannot give up your tittle. You always will be a princes regardless what you do.
Errr...no.
I am Japanese and you got so many things wrong here. First of all, when a woman marries in Japan, they take their husband's surname by tradition. That is when you automatically lose the privileges the Imperial surname holds. However, that doesn't mean they are completely abandoned. They receive grand monetary support and can visit the Imperial Palace anytime they want. It's just that they cannot take part in royal activities anymore, which is understandable. Secondly, Empress Michiko isn't low class. She is literally the daughter of one of the richest men in Japan. She has received traditional education, Western education, arts, and culinary training. She is also the niece of the president of the University of Osaka. Many high-ranking individuals also made marriage proposals to her. Finally, Princess Nori is literally the supreme priestess of the Ise Grand Shrine and also a researcher. Her husband is an urban designer working for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and recently has been promoted to a general position. Not only that, he is literally a friend of the Crown Prince of Japan, Fumihito. They are literally living the best life.
😂😂😂 l doubt she doesn't have a fleet of maids and wealth. These people only loose their titles and the duties that go with it l.doubt the money ever goes away
the pronunciation of the Japanese names throughout the video gets on my nerve like Aki-heat-told and Michi-cold. I had to mute the video and read the subtitles. All princess are to leave the royal family once they are married regardless whom they are married to as it is a tradition.
we’re sorry for that 🙏🏾 next time we’ll make sure that the pronunciation is correct
LOL … You are comparing 🍎s to 🍊s. Your comment is picayune and inconsequential.
I would choose luxuary and grandeur
And Your a FOOL!!
Japan is currently facing a crisis for the survival of the true imperial family.
OMG it's been 18+years since?
No puedo ir pero tengo los papeles
The son took after Mami. Love is love regardless of status.

あ〜あ、間違いだらけ💦
プリンスのりじゃない💦エクス プリンセス サヤコ だろがぁ😻
クイーン ミチコじゃないの💦エンプレスなの💦
Princess Margaret could equally have married Peter Townsend and relinquished her titles and perhaps lived in France. She could not have been committed because no one could have stopped the marriage legally. Brenda
both love&money
🎉❤❤❤
🌿🍃 The Japanese, of all the advanced economic nations seem to have the most sound and well balanced outlooks and happy lives.
Well said!
Its a different a Princess, marrying a outside of Royal family is still a Princess and is a born Princess, wherever she go,and there will always be her Royal family around,incase if she need anything. Therefore, Real Princess has seen all luxurious life will be easy to lead a commoner's life and despite her marriage with her boyfriend if she like an stay in the royal family. Its just the Protocol,she might be following.l
Well, she felt imprisoned in that palace, so it must have been liberating when she chose to live a simple life with the love of her life. I'd would chose Love over title and everything.
Palace is not a prison
have you experienced living in the palace that you called prison? isttttttt
@@ludivinayamashita1879 I understand English is not your first language but when I said "she felt imprisoned", it's a figure of speech. Google comes handy.
@@Vil-Lut Awww, sorry you didn't fully understand my comment. When you don't have freedom. it is likened to living in jail. Peace.
Not really. The only way for her to keep her royal status is to live her life as a spinster. There are no more noble families in Japan she can get married into, and by law, Japanese princesses lose their royal status when they get married. They understood this as this has been a law since 1947. Her aunts who married nobles also lost their status when the law took effect.
She did not break the royal rules, but due to the fact that there are no male nobles or royals found in the royal family, her only chance was when she reachs 30 years old she go and find a commonar husband and marry him, no other way , other than this way, even for the currrent emperor daughter whom she is 22 years old now, her choices are either to stay single all her life, single princess or when she reachs 30 years old , she give up her royal tile and marry a commonar...
I’m a local Japanese living in Japan. There’s no such age limit like the age of 30. Where did you get the idea? No such thing.
When a female princess in the imperial household marries anyone she automatically becomes a commoner. This is a tradition. Yet it’s not a regular commoner. She got nearly $1 million equivalent in Japanese yen just to start. They also don’t lead a regular commoners life obviously. Title is gone officially but they’re not like a commoner. It’s impossible they would live on a street or get bankrupted or go bankrupted or something crazy like that. Not every commoner can marry a princess either. But that 22 year old you mentioned is an outcasted one equivalent to Meghan Markel, absolutely despised as she was extremely disrespectful to our tradition that her father the current’s emperor’s brother didn’t even call her husbands by his name when they both gave an interview for good reasons. She picked a guy who is a half criminal who failed on bar exams multiple times. All around not great guy, stole money from someone and disputed in courts for money. The Japanese public was quite ticked off of her wrong choice of husbands so much so that her father the Prince said no wedding for this princess. So she wasn’t allowed to have public wedding and so far she’s the only one who didn’t have any wedding ceremony as a princess. They’re forced out. And no Japanese in Japan likes this idiot half criminal guy who married this former princess.

@@KittenBowl1I also live in Japan. Komuro san is not that bad. In fact, he is not bad at all. He is not a criminal and you are overblowing it. He is a victim of the mean gossip press who love to vilify some people to sell newspaper and get more TV views. Not everyone passes the bar exam on the first try. Also much fewer pass the bar exam in Japan, isn’t it just 5% or 10%. Some never pass even after trying again and again.
Also, he was a minor when his mother borrowed all that money for the boy’s education. He had no say in it. I agree, when the issue came up, he should have said immediately that he would pay it back as soon as he got a job. Which he is doing now. Former Princess Mako married for love not tradition. Also, I think all the adults in this story, Komuro’s mother, the man who lent the money and some of the Royal family used the press to make a scandal. Partly in an effort to force Mako san to give up her love for Komuro san. I for one am glad she held out for her choice.
Princess Nori was paired with a friend of her brother’s so it was an arranged marriage. Not a love marriage where both people fall in love. I have a feeling she didn’t really want to get married as she just kept working at the job she had. Well, she is married and seems happy.
@@KittenBowl1 being a japanese does not means you know more than me, plus it was her choice and we need to respect her choice, thats it.
I don’t think she had to go find someone when she turned 30 years. I do not agree with their laws of taking away their titles and every else from them, the Princesses, I mean.
Love is better than Riches or Wealth. The 2 will finish but Love Endures
Maybe not borne out by the divorce rate 🤓
일본 공주가 남편을 너무 사랑하나보네 다 포기할만큼 너무 멋짐
Tan joven y. Loca. Ja😂😮😅😅😂
I did choose love
They should just scrap the men-only preference in the imperial family, their numbers are already dwindling and the lack of a pool of male heirs can be a future problem for them anyway.
I find it difficult and stupid being royalty in my culture is a birthright that cant be taken away one should be allowed to marry whomever they want to if a monarch your personal life unless it affects others and violates public trust of people should be allowed and aristocracy should be redefined or abolished this is mysoginistic out of date practice her wealth and status should have been hers to keep as long as duties are fulfilled
The best palate cleanser from Meghan Markle content over saturating TH-cam lately.
All these silly TITLES and it means nothing
Happiness n Love always win ❤❤❤
This program shovels out a fair amount of falsehood and misinformation. On the plus side, it is not full of malicious rumors and innuendo.
As a young girl, Sayako was not living 'a life of luxury - attended by dozens of servants - who catered to her every whim.' The material circumstances of the Japanese royal family are more like an upper middle class American doctor - not poor, by any means - but not dripping in millions of dollars of jewelry, rolling through town in Rolls Royces or Bentleys, flying in private jets and helicopters. For that, see the British or the royal houses of Europe.
When Crown Prince Akihito met Michiko, she was not a 'simple girl, low class.' She was the daughter of a wealthy industrialist. When Sayako met her husband, he was not 'an ordinary clerk.' He was a university grad and a bureaucrat within Tokyo city government. His salary may have been 'modest' - but he has been there for quite a while now, supervising contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars. My guess is that his salary is not so modest, these days.
What's different for Japanese royals is that they live very circumscribed lives, with many public duties and engagements - all dictated by the Imperial Household Agency. It actually adds up to a lot of work. I do believe they will eventually succumb to reality and common sense - and open the throne to women.
She married a commoner. What is wrong with that?
We are all commoner, what is wrong with that? I’m proud to be a commoner.
She has no future as a royalty. She will never become a queen unless she marries a king or an emperor, which will never happen. What else does she need to do? She wants to live a normal life like the rest of us.
And for the record, her husband who is a commoner, is not poor either.
I think she made me ramen last week in Medellin
ill be real, when shes so rich and with status, why did she not get some cosmetic products to remove some of those skin tags
Very poor documental!
We do not see how her life is like now!
She choice of being simple and not carrying heavy loads of responsibilities! The love ❤️ of Simplicity is BEAUTY !

Ise is pronounced ISSAY not ICE.
Why have a royal family if they are not going to be royal and help the poor? Nori is lucky her story turned out ok and she did not have children to suffer because of her choice. She was not in line for the thone anyway. I believe if you have a job to do you should do it.
…ain’t Love grand…?
1.2 million what a joke
Flimsy report. 😊
An answer of a few words is being taken over by a long long introduction of the past. Waste of time !
She's a princess?
내가 일본에 대해서 너무 몰랐던것중에 하나가 왕이 존재하고 총리가 정치하는 나라라는걸 몰랐다는게...
It seems like some of these "facts" are incorrect. Please conduct more and better research on the future.
No children ?
She can shed the trappings but the blood tells the tail she isn't what she is by material possession by by her birth and by her right I'll be to them whom think I'll of it woe be to those whom mislead even one one of these little ones
