My thoughts about my birthday

This year, Emperor Emperor resigned at the end of the Heisei era for more than 30 years, and Emperor Emperor took the throne at the beginning of May. Looking back on this year, which was a milestone in celebrating my birthday, I am deeply impressed.

From the beginning of the year, there were various events to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Emperor's imperial thirty years, the 60th anniversary of the Emperor's Empress's marriage, and various events related to the retirement of the Emperor's Emperor, such as the ceremony of the Apostolate However, I am deeply impressed with each of the last duties of Heisei as it was before.

Since the Majesty's imperial throne on May 1st, His Majesty has successfully completed a series of events that accompany the throne, and I am also able to safely attend each event with the support of His Majesty. I am relieved and glad to have been able to work with you.

I would like to express my deep appreciation to the great emperors and empresses for their thoughts and guidance for the succession of his replacement, including events related to his imperialism, and his replacement.

We would also like to express our deep appreciation to those who have worked hard to prepare for various events. Since the Emperor's throne, many people have had an unexpectedly warm celebration at the Imperial Palace in May, the National Festival in November, and the celebrations Thank you very much.

Also, during the last 7 months, I was pleased and grateful for the warm feelings of many people who came in contact with the people through visits to local areas and events in Tokyo. I have spent it.

The many smiles I have met in Japan will remain in my heart as an irreplaceable memory for me, and I think that it will be a great support for the future.

At the same time, the warm feelings of all of these citizens, during the Heisei era, the Emperor and Empress, both of whom enjoyed their affairs, worked closely with the people for a long time. I am deeply grateful for what has been done.

And every day in the future, together with His Majesty, we have renewed our wish to be able to snuggle up while always wishing for the happiness of the people.

Many people have been sacrificed and deeply hurt. I would like to express my heartfelt condolences and sympathies to the bereaved family.

In addition, there are many people who were affected by the disaster. I sincerely hope that the recovery will proceed smoothly and that people who have been affected by the disaster will return to a safe life as soon as possible.

In recent years, many natural disasters such as floods and wildfires have occurred not only in Japan but also in other parts of the world, and problems such as global warming and climate change are becoming reality.

In Japan, in addition to climate-related disasters, earthquakes such as the Nankai Trough earthquake and the earthquake directly below the Tokyo metropolitan area are also predicted, and it is becoming increasingly important to promote disaster prevention measures from various aspects. Seems to be.

I am also worried about many environmental problems such as plastic waste, problems such as poverty and child abuse in Japan, and ongoing conflicts and civil wars in the world.

In connection with this, it was a pity that Mr. Satoshi Nakamura, who has been supporting medical reconstruction and irrigation facilities for many years in Afghanistan, recently lost his life locally. .

I hope that a peaceful world where people can live with peace of mind will be realized. On the other hand, looking back on this year, there were various bright events.

In particular, recently, the first player in Japan to participate in the Rugby World Cup 2019 Japan tournament. I was delighted that the tournament was very good, such as the warmth of exchange between the national teams and the local people.

Also, I was pleased that the game of this tournament was held in Kamaishi City, which was damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake, but unfortunately when Kamaishi City was damaged by Typhoon No. 19, the game was canceled in Canada. It was also an unforgettable event that the teams participated in volunteer activities such as removing mud, and the Namibian teams held an exchange meeting in Miyako City, a training camp, and encouraged the victims.

In the academic field, Akira Yoshino received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. I am delighted that the research results of Japanese researchers have been widely recognized around the world and that the Nobel Prize has been awarded in recent years.

Next year, the Olympic and Paralympic Games will finally be held in Tokyo. Not only will you be able to witness the splendor of sports like the Rugby World Cup 2019 Japan, but people from all over the world will have diverse backgrounds. I hope that the tournament will be a good opportunity to respect each other and deepen friendship, and to be a powerful force for the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
