Woah hey, Emperor Akihito's 20th anniversary was today
by Pangloss, 11/13/2009



So I guess the Emperor of Japan, Emperor Akihito just celebrated a big day? It's the 20th anniversary of him being, you know, His Imperial Majesty. I figure that there should probably be some mention of it on Japanator.

So here's to you, Emperor. 20 years is a pretty long time, so I hope it's treated you well. Although I understand you don't get much say in things anymore, you should be proud that your nation is such a rad, albeit completely batshit weird, place.

<3, Pangloss

EDIT: Okay, so I just realized I missed the lowest-hanging fruit ever. This has now been remedied:


Go ahead and groan, everybody. It nourishes me.
