“We performed the ceremony of the throne of the throne, and proclaimed the throne in and out, and thank you for congratulating everyone gathered here today.

I have been happy about the feelings of many people for about half a year since my throne. In the meantime, we have been in direct contact with the people at various occasions, and we have renewed our desire for your happiness.

Among them, I am deeply struck by the great damage caused by typhoon 19 last month and recent heavy rain. Congratulations to the deceased people and congratulations to the bereaved and affected people. The idea is that there are many people who are forced to evacuate in the cold and it is not easy to rebuild their lives. I sincerely hope that life will be as safe as possible for those affected by the recovery and will return as soon as possible.

I wish for the happiness of the people here and hope for further development of Japan and peace of the world. Today I am deeply grateful that so many people gather and celebrate the throne in spite of the cold weather. "
