The pictures are so awkward, their fashion style so different from ours (or the jap. fashionistas on the net), the only sign of life outside this strange stage-setting is the cute little necktie of the doggie.

I agree - it makes me so sad to see individuality stamped out like that on these kids. Happy birthday to Aiko! |

It's not just the styling. In any European country the 18th birthday of the only daughter of the Emperor would be a huge festival. In Japan it's, well, almost forgotten. |

The Japanese royals fashion and demeanor always seems so awkward to me. No individuality at all. I don't really know much about the family but I read that much of it is due to the Imperial Household Agency. I can't understand how they have so much power over the Emperor who is their boss? Happy birthday to a wonderful young lady! |

I'll wait for her 20th and the big tiara party. |

I'll wait for her 20th and the big tiara party. She will get her diamond tiara and mirror necklace on her 20th - like her cousins did. Will be interesting to see if they are recycled from the vaults or new pieces. |
