#Japan #PrincessMako #RoyalFamily
I have huge respect for this princess, leaving her royal family with grace and honor, without resentment and bashing her family. I wish you nothing but happiness and success, princess Mako
I hope the westerns see the primary sources about this marriage.
You can see why Japanese so upset about this marriage at following video.
th-cam.com/video/tMTQDfj7fRg/w-d-xo.html
Sorry, since the day of the wedding, She became Ms. Mako komuro!
@@polipoli7906 Mako is a commoner now so whatever she does, it is her choice and it is her who will face consequence. Let her live her life and stop criticizing
@@VyNguyen-bq2xg
Are you OK if the daughter of President spends a huge tax for her boyfriend because of LOVE?
Could it be acceptable in your country??
Whatever they do, they should deserve accountability.
FYI, according to Deutsche Welle (Germany media) , the Japanese scholar Shimada said that
”I have heard from my contacts in the Japanese government that Tokyo will be using Komuro's law firm (Lowenstein Sandler LLP)to ensure he is a success and can earn a living”
@@polipoli7906 big deal. they are royal, not president. you pay tax for them to exist. he is her husband now, they move to NY, earn their living, rejecting your 1.5ml tax. Hope Japan royal only have daughters from now on. It's 21st century, not medieval.
Being a royal seems miserable
Someone once said “it is” and I believe him
Not at all ...lol but it's ok she is choosing different life
when they suddenly feel they don't want to.
If you knew a little about the history of the Japanese Royal Family, you would know that for her it was to gain the freedom she didn't have as a Princess!
Ikr
That’s good that her dad seems supportive of her marriage. Good favor her! ❤️
Yeah due to Japanese law stating Princess’ must give up their royal status & bonuses if they marry a commoner (meanwhile Princes can but unfortunately thats not the topic right now!) that they were all aware of she had no choice in the matter & even though they turned money down it’s still believed even in Japan that she’s got a private inheritance from her father that obviously no one can interfere in since that is between them.
@@tomokof Unfortunately in life it’s not smooth sailing & sometimes unfortunately the worst has to happen to force you to see the bigger picture. Also no thanks to his mother who was at the eye of the storm in all that & why people weren’t happy. I’m sure if it wasn’t for that whole deal no one would have cared & they probably would have given them permission to marry earlier.
Sometimes in life when it comes to your own future you have to leave your family, leave the prison, leave the occult and then follow your dreams, follow your true love, follow your happiness. This is just the way it is
Exactly👏👏👏👏👏
People are changing their values and want to be happy and not controlled.
And yet we have people who say you can't work or keep your kids unless you take a pharmaceutical drug that they say..or you lose your freedoms.
@@Jesusis_theway the joker profile pic 🤣🤣🤣
@@Jesusis_theway However..their marriage doesn't aid in spread of a life threatening virus fueled by unsupported false data? So what is your correlation? If there is a harmful outcome it will affect the 2 of them ONLY, no?
Smart girl… get outta there, live your life and have a happy life, wish them all the best 💜
I was today years old when I found out that Japan had a monarchy 🤦🏽♀️😂
Me too!!!
Same girl!!
Same. Where tf have I been
Never heard of Empire of the Sun?
@@親日家 Hunny I typed monarchy because 🤓 according to Google, "Japan is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary government." But thanks🙂
People are people. There's no such thing as royal or divine blood. May they produce abundant offspring.
I really ship them and bless them. It was Mako's idea to move to New York, and seeing those nonsense Japanese protestors I now understand why. I can't put myself in their shoes, reality check, she happens to be royal, and there are very few real princes out there for matching.
Princess, commoners or not, the real challenge come when they start living together, and even harder in a new country. I wish they are strong enough to overcome that.
Hoping she won’t be kidnapped in the future for her own sake
Those Japanese protester need to grow up it not there Business
It’s almost as if being a prince or princess isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.
Them Disney lies lol
What makes you think it is?
Disney lie. Being Royal ain’t so fun as it seem. Strict rules the might follow
@@MamaSnuggles
Fancy story supported by huge tax-money.
According to Deutsche Welle (Germany media) , a Japanese scholar said
”I have heard from my contacts in the Japanese government that Tokyo will be using Komuro's law firm (Lowenstein Sandler LLP)to ensure he is a success and can earn a living”
Well, she's not a gold digger. She walked away from her fortune for love. She's a dying breed of a woman. I hope her husband knows, he got a real treasure.
@Fright Nite... 🎃 I guess you are the clown dude. You need to look at the video again and LISTEN. Also, their culture are different, especially for a female. She's not going to receive nothing, unless someone sneak funds to her. Most likely, she has her own saving account...hopefully but her culture believes the man should take care of the family...100%, with NO HELP. Educate yourself before you slam people comments. It doesn't make you popular but makes you look ridiculous in the thread.
I agree, he needs to watch/listen to the video again. He also needs to learn about other cultures, not just the United States.
It seems like they are in love. Let them be happy. IDK why people seem to think other people's personal lives are their business.
Japanese people concern about illegal financial support by tax for Kei Komuro.
Japan Magazine Publishers Association(JMPA) officially asked Kei Komuro and Mako following questions in the last conference for their marriage at 26th,Oct.
1) About the financial trouble between Komuro’s mother and her ex-fiancé, And Komuro’s mother facing criminal accusation for fraudulent receipt of bereaved family pension.
2) Was there any special treatment for Kei Komuro as the fiancé of Princess Mako during his student life in Fordham university?
Kei Komuro and Mako didn’t bring clear answers for above at the conference. All suspicion still stands.
Well, it’s their businesses when they use their tax money to support the dude’s family debt
They are NOTHING like Harry and Meghan. This Japanese couple are not money and fame hungry They actually love each other.
If we so chose, we all deserve a perfect life partner. Not just those with royal lineage
A woman does not need a throne, nor a crown. She needs a strong healthy man by her side.
You better hope the wacky purple hair LGBT community doest see your comment.
A man doesn't need a crown or power over others either :)
I feel happy for Princess Mako. She really values happiness by being with person she loves. Hopefully their love will last forever. Send big love from Korea ♥♥♥
"That a princess deserves"
Yeah, that was a weird statement.
I found that statement gross too. Unfortunately that's the mindset of most people, being born into a certain financial or social class means you deserve special privileges 🙄
Lot of people willing to live from their knees…always slays me.
Yes, I took offense at that remark as well.
She deserves no less than the rights of any other Japanese citizen to marry a partner of her own choosing and make her own way in life.
Awww…🦋♥️ I don’t know anything about it, but may we all find love like this. They seem happy. Leave them be. Many blessings towards their way. 🕊
I really wanna know their love story now 😭✨❤they are so cute and Princess Mako have all my respect ,such a brave and loving girl 🥺❤
Lol. This is nothing like harry and Megan who wanted to be famous socialites. This woman has so much integrity and humility.
He did it lads, and im super happy for both of them
Just puts on stereo that love and happiness knows no fiscal boundaries.
Or class limitations.
These monarchy are slowing deteriorating.. King and Queendom are ending.. out with the old ways
The new ways aren't much better
Yeah like republicanism are much better
Why is he talking to someone in London about something that's going on in Japan? Lol
I hope they are to be happy together ❤️❤️ I'm so sorry that his mom was having trouble. I wish them all the luck in the world 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gotta love NBC’s use of the word “Commoner”
Kei Komuro and previous princess Mako now live in central NY very luxury residence with Akishino-miya’s imperial big support, even existing shopping support Clark for them,
rent fee is almost same as Kei’s unqualified Law Clark salary.
How can that be? Why Mako have such a huge money and status if she gave up her status and the special give up Royal status bonus.
Support and respect. They seem like a very conscientious and caring young couple. They will be most welcome in the United States. Wish them happiness.
It has nothing to do with "commoner". The speaker Tseng did not know the truths and she didn't know what reality of Kei Komuro's family's complex issues, not only his mother's financial problems, but also a lots of Komuro's family issues, both his father and his grandfather were suicide, and a lots of family issues. Even ordinary family's daughters will avoid to that kinds of Komuro's family. Most Japanese worry about Mako's marriage. In addition to that, the origin of Komuro's family is from Korea.
Even if this is true, it’s Princess Mako’s business. I hate that she had to apologize for who she chose to marry. Princess Mako is not taking any payments. Thank goodness her father supports her. It’s time for the public to mind their own business. I just can’t believe that poor Mako should have PTSD. Unpatriotic action to love a man. The man is not his family. And what difference does it make if he has Korean blood. That’s just racist. I hope they live a happy life. They certainly deserve this.
I am Japanese and strongly support their courageous decision to get married and leave Japan for the U.S because a lot of Japanese media and tabloids and far-right nationalists and traditionalists have assaulted or defamed them and found fault with their demeanors, such as Kei's response to Japanese TV correspondents, who were stalking him and raising a same question over and over and over, which many Japanese people think caused Mako to develop PTSD.
I cannot understand why they reject celebrating the young couple and continue to bully them.
And it is quite embarrassed about people who protested in their marriage and called for cancelling it and about covering the protest in other countries.
I’m Japanese citizen living in the states.
From looking at comments on several Japanese YT channels, the problem is that the 1.3 million dollars comes from our taxes, and the majority of Japanese citizens think it would be used for a financial problem involved with Komuro’s mother in the past.
Without it nobody would care if she has a relationship with him.
But they refused to take the money. Much ado about nothing.
@@Staronqueen Yeah but they do not have any job/income to stabilize their new lives at all.
Although they officially refused the money at this time, people still feel very uneasy about “a financial support” that the royal family would do later on. And the money still comes from our taxes.
Also people think that it’s a shame for a member of the royal family to marry someone who has a financial issue in his family even after she left the royal family.. I know it’s a bit harsh for her though
every other former pricess from Japan had become the money .....it was the tax too.
whatever how they will use the money, for a house or for his mother, that is their own decicion and there is nothing to do with other people.

POTUS ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID:
"God must love the common man, He made so many of them"
How lovely, Thank God
Awwwwwwww, That's so sweet marrying for love but if I were here I'd take the million dollars.
The issue is the abuse of royal power and it’s pay-off scandal, illegal issue under Japanese law if she gives private individuals pay-off using Loyal Power
He just failed the bar exam 😭
Yeah but lots of people fail the New York bar exam. JFK junior failed it twice. All the stress is probably why.
@@ctgctg1 oh that's good to know.
So what, first of all, he is not a native English speaking. and the failed bar exam is not a crime. Have you ever tried one?
❤❤❤❤love 4 princess Mako from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
And her sisters hug was so *cute* 💌💌
Again? Man, royal families can’t catch a break this year.
Monarchy is a stupid concept especially the 21st century and trying to keep a pure perigee is impossible bc it's already mixed just saying there is zero reason royal should exist
Because no body gives a hood rat about those frauds called royalty anymore.
@mega power Mind CRUSH!
Yeah, like king Trump and Princess Ivanka😹😹😹😹😹😹
Congratulations and many years together she's very beautiful and kind and him also ...
Did she say shes suffering from PTSD from the negative attention?? Did everyone forget about all the ptsd emperor Hirohito caused? They should all be ashamed of themselves.
did you just reference ww2, a war that ended over 76 years ago? that has nothing to do with the princess lmfao grow up
There is a lot of PTSD amongst the royal court in Japan. The current empress has been in therapy for years and has been hospitalized for PTSD. Why you ask? Because she gave birth to a daughter. Ridiculous! Worse than the British royals.
She is brave!
Couldn't care less about royalty. I'm sure they are fine.
America the place all royals go to become un-regal …. YAY !!!!
Lololol
We even have the rightful successor to the throne of the Roman Empire in the US
Imagine if he cheat on her
We have to respect Princess Mako and her marriage 😀❤️🙏🙏🙏
Honestly good for her! Follow your heart! ✊🏽❤️
Princess Aiko of the emperor stopped making own tiara. For a person suffering from a COVID. However, former princess Mako who is a relative of princess Aiko spends a large amount of money for own life.
Princess Aiko probably is sick of that endless criticism no matter what you do. good for her. Mrs. Mako Komuro wants to have her own life, she did not take the 1.4 million US$ either. Those who criticized her should shut their mouth up.
Happy for them!
Happy for love!
At the end of the day is their life, and it shall be their choice.
I wish them all the best!
Good for her 👏
She gained respecT💞💞💞💞💞
I'd rather be a independent commoner than a imprisoned princess, love and freedom is something that money can't buy
This is a contradiction: no women to the imperial throne but the highest deity of Shintoism, Amaterasu Ohmikami, is female. How does that go togethet?
they stand outside the bloodline for the throne... thats why she has to leave after marrying
Rich people doing rich people stuff🤷sorry they are suffering so badly🙄
Good for you bestie good for you! Go find your happiness and be free
Na, they just don't want her to be happy that's all.Girl, do you!
Love is like a bottomless pit. It should be feared rather than be cherished. For love has no limits, no bounds, no bottom.
It is obvious from the look they exchanged that they are in love 💕. I wish the couple a long happy and fruitful marriage. Ignore the jealous haters.
You would think that after witnessing the powerful force and speed that a Tsunami ( 03 Mar 2011) destroyed so many Japanese families in a matter of minutes, these same people would put LOVE above all else. They all saw first hand how quick material things and lives could disappear, but that true love lasts lifetimes. How quick people forget that life lesson.
Now that Princess Mako and her husband Kei Komoro have left behind such a hateful, archaic bunch of stuck ups (not referring to all Japanese people - majority of the people are very compassionate) It’s time to help them out.
Time to set up a Go Fund Me Page to give them a healthy start in NY, and a chance to get on their feet. 🗽🇺🇸🥂
May Kei and Mako share in true love, build a happy home, have beautiful children, and live the American Dream.... that would be the best Karma ever 🥰🥂
Your video is amazing
Welcome to the U.S.! 🇺🇸🎎🗽
At the time of their engagement announcement, the Japanese public knew nothing about Komuro, the fiancée of Princess Mako. In reality, he is an incompetent and vulgar playboy, and his mother is an abominable woman with a lot of dirty money troubles. In particular, she is also found suspicious of the criminal act of illegally receiving her survivor's pension. Will the Japanese people welcome such a vulgar parent-child marriage to the imperial family?? However, the very very foolish Princess Mako has gotten married forcibly. As the Japanese public expected, Komuro, her stupid husband failed the New York Bar Exam and Mako's unhappiness has begun actually. 😫😫😫
Do you believe all that?
Good for her!🥰
Well, it’s the beginning of the end for royal families.
Japan has an emperor??
Yes it was allowed to continue even after losing to US in WW2 as part of a deal. Just title and prestige like in UK but no power at all.
Japan is a constitutional monarchy like the UK. The Japanese emperor is the same as the British Queen. No real power for the head of state, only ceremonial duties.
And my famous quote again ( your majesty you are your own tampons ) 😂😂😂😂😂👻👻👻👻👻
🛑Media should investigate why Mr Komuro could be admitted and study Fordham University School of Law without LSAT nor law degree. HP of Fordham University School of Law says "It is NOT allowed to transfer from LLM to JD" But he did! Was this a Royal Magic? At the same time, MitsubishiUFJ Bank donated 3 million to Fordham University School of Law.
Mr. Komuro had financial support from Okuno Law Firm, but still he was awarded Martin Scholarship from Fordham University School of Law. Martin Scholarship should be awarded for a student who does NOT have financial support (The description of Martin Scholarship says somebody with financial support cannot get it.) . I want US Media to investigate these matter as Royal Cheating. It is NOT fair if rich people can buy degree and scholarship by their dirty money.
What a lovely couple, I wish them all the best! 💑🙏
May they be happy.
Good luck to you guys
Welcome to America, and the state of New York, Miss Mako.
My fiancee is japanese and she's very proud of her!
In short, love is love
Please learn all the reasons why the Japanese people are upset! They are not that narrow minded!! The Japanese people are honest and believe in “justice”’
The Japanese people congratulated all the princesses who married to commoners and left the Royal families until now❗️Please find out why they are so offended by Mako’s marriage and write a story❗️You won’t write such a simple story after learning what is going on in reality❗️
I didn’t know Japan 🇯🇵 had there own Royals
These people are the best in the world
What state? They moving???
At least he didn't have to pay her parents $25,000 to marry her
Ngl he has a good job, he's kinda handsome and around the same age as her (I think), and seems like he cares about her alot. This isn't as much of a loss for her as most people make it out to be, hopefully they can grow together as a couple and continue to be happy.
This Princess needs to grow up and take care of her own life. the.protestors should go home
I wish them happiness!
Princess Mako so pitty, I think komuro is only using princess mako
Now datz news!! Wishin dem d best!!
Her family seems ok with it so people need to chill.
Alright there is a misled about why there was a protest against Royal family in Japan. You should know that there has been No protest against Royal family before, in fact there were many
Royal family members left from Royal family when they got married. They were all celebrated by citizens such as Noriko
Takamadonomiya who married with
Kei Moriya who works at private company. They were celebrated.
Why this time it was not celebrated and criticized???
That is because Komuro family has criminal accusation which they runaway and never faced the issue.
What really disappointed the citizen was princess Mako used PTSD as an
excuse and not media to ask any
question and telling that they were victim from criticism.
Because of this issue there are growing calls for emperor system should end with current emperor.
This protest was staged and paid for….
Let them be .. at least she has the decency not to get the money she is entitled to. And it seems he has the desire to improve his lot. Admirable! May they live happily ever after!👩❤️👨
@@esteladasmarinas9712 long live Mako and Kei Komuro !
Ah look at that. A supportive royal family for a change. Publicly showing support of their family member's choice to live happy.
Maybe because they did not bad-mouth the royal family, cut ties and burned bridges.
@@mariaelda6271 It's not bad mouthing just because the truth stinks. Also they wouldn't have had to speak out publicly if they'd had support in the first place.
Right on
Why is no one talking about Princess Aiko? She turned down special jewels that given as celebration aiko turns 20 ,for the sake of the people's lives. Despite Aiko has higher status than Mako, she chose a tiara to borrow. Now, her story is more important news than them in Japan.
Someone make this a Manga😍
Add me to the minority that thinks that she should NOT have left the Royal family
He looks younger and cute!!
True love
It’s normal for people to help their families, especially, a man, he would feel obligated to his mother.
Especially that she have raised him as a single mother and parent.
I do not say this simple, it must have been very difficult for his mother, especially if she was not a rich woman.
This PRINCESS, must think that it is easy to live as a normal human in society.
I wish her all the LUCK, hopefully she have made the correct decision.
Hopefully this man will not turn on her, that is the main point here.
you might find someone but you won't find a princess willing to leave royalty for you.
Woohoo we have a princess. Cool.👍 I wish them the best.
She can leave her family but middle class people can't because they have already lot's problem I don't want to give them sadness so
Give her what she deserves. Why must she be punished for love and why must kei komuro be punished for his mother's mistakes.
Yes, you are right
Blessings.
This is 2021 ! Wake up
I'm just here waiting for the inveitable anime adaptation of this story.
At least allow the Royal line to continue with her kids, otherwise the Royal family will become too insular and die out.... what then? Whilst I dont agree with the male dominant structure, I can appreciate that some things take time and maybe compromise. OK a woman can't inherit.... but maybe allow her male children? They are technically related by blood and would stop the family from dying out.
In Japanese tradition the branch family would inherit if the main bloodline died out.
And now they’re heading to NewYork
Empire State
He divorce her after being bore of f her
