As an American who is visiting Japan for the first time ever, let me say that Chris Broad's videos have helped us determine what to do and form our itinerary. So at least to this American stranger, Chris has done a lot!
Not anymore since 1945. To avoid being executed for war crimes the Tennou then had to accept that the new rule is that he is a "normal" human being while he is on earth and only becomes a god after his death - and therefore touching the alive Tennou sticks to the greetings the person he corresponds with. Englishmen or Americans therefore with shaking hands, japanese people with the bowing.
The real reason has to do with swordmanship. By showing your open hand towards the other guy you show that you are not trying to reach for your sword. As swordmans are most times right handers, they have their sword attached at the left side. It's the right for "I don't come to hurt you".
I wonder how it is possible that even Chris noticed, that the service was bad. Even in a normal restaurant you wouldn't want the guest to feel like they got the scraps.
Japanese Emperor does work, the official functions that one HAS to take part of is still work - stressful one at that because of immense traditional pressure. There's a reason why previous Emperor had to apologise and resign as he just couldn't do his work anymore because of health reasons.

Many people seem to have a distorted view of monarchies, assuming that royals "do nothing," even in the past. However, most monarchs have been deeply involved in their country's politics, despite often being labeled as symbolic. Additionally, the UK royal family manages numerous charities and trusts, making it inaccurate to say that royals have "never worked a day in their lives."
Monarchy does serve a function, there is a reason why European (British, Danish, Dutch etc) and Japanese monarchies are so respected by the citizens of their countries and there are no plans to abolish it.

I...I really hope you're joking. Seriously. A Scottish Monarch was given the English Throne. One of my ancestors is Robert the Bruce aka KING OF SCOTS! We've always held a deep respect for the monarchy and the Monarch. Wales also had monarchs before the English sort of took over (that's more complicated and involved Lewellyn the Great and his I think Grandson if I'm right.)

It's the very reason you shake hand with the right hand... so you do not combine the powers and become more powerful than ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!
