Great news reach us from Japan via BBC. The succession to the Imperial throne is saved through the birth of a baby boy by Princess Kiko, wife of Emperor Akihito's second son Akishino.
The succession to the Chrysanthemum Throne (菊花紋章; kikukamonshō), as the Imperial throne of Japan is commonly called, is only inherited by legitimate male decendants. The prince born today is the first male born of the Imperial house since his father in 1965. This has given rise to discussions on a future constitutional crisis with the lack of an Emperor, and discussions to change the order of succession to allow female decendants to inherit the throne. Apparently, there were popular support for ideas of changing the order of succession. I say this should not be done unless the crisis is imminent, which it never was. Otherwise, it would be like allowing other dogs to get the pure kennel prefix Aangenaam, even though they were not born and raised at our kennel. A human family line is male, just like a dog kennel prefix depends on the kennel.
Now the monarchy and the Imperial line is saved. I am happy it is. Japan is saved from a future constitutional crisis.
