There's even a comic book series that calls.

For ICOR to become emperor, and I've also spoken to a number of activist groups who support the idea.

No, no, unfortunately not.

But earlier this month, something did change.

So Japan's political parties approved a proposal to amend the imperial house law.

And there are two parts to this.

One is allowing female royals to remain in the family after marriage.

And the second part of the reforms are more contentious.

Just to step back and explain the context, after the Second World War, the Japanese royal family was.

Significantly downsized.

And a lot of the imperial family branches were stripped of their royal status.

And they have been living as commoners since for the past eight decades.

They desperately want to avoid a situation when women take over the throne.

So they're saying that we can look at these deroyal family members and recruit men from them and bring them into the royal family to expand the number of men that.

that we currently have.

This is a very controversial idea because from a Japanese public perspective, these people are basically strangers to the royal family.

They say instead of going all the way to do such things, why don't we just let women have the opportunity?

Why don't we let Aiko or women take over the throne as well?

But for now, that's something that remains very sensitive and it's very difficult to see that happen.

Thank you so much for having me, Jason.
