At a regular press conference on the 10th, the Imperial Household Agency Secretary Nishimura said that there were critical reports in weekly magazines about the marriage of Mako and Kei Komuro, the eldest daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Akishino, whose engagement was unofficially decided. Mr. Komuro expressed the idea that it is important for him to be accountable.
In this, Secretary Nishimura said, "I think that we will be able to respond to criticism by giving a precise explanation for marriage, so it is better to be accountable. I think it is extremely important, "he said, and asked Mr. Komuro, such as the lawyer representing Mr. Komuro, to take action.
Regarding Mako and Komuro, last month, Akishinomiya said at a press conference that he would "accept marriage", but many people were not convinced and pleased. I think it's important to speak properly, including the history of the past. "
Mr. Nishimura said about the press conference, "I think it was emphasized that the most important thing is to explain properly."
