Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the Imperial Family if the entire nation did not join together to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, who is still alive today?
As a loyal and brave subject of the Empire, I fervently wish to see the 23rd, the Emperor Emeritus's Birthday, remain a national holiday as usual.
Huh? No?
Sigh...
Is that so?

Tch

Um, sorry, but it seems like the holiday that was celebrated every year on December 23rd is no longer celebrated, or is it...?
Ahhh, is that so? I understand.
No, no, no, no, not at all! I was just curious and asked, so no, no, not at all, yes, thank you very much for your help. Excuse me. Tch

This is something the locals do so naturally that I wanted to try it myself, even though I didn't have a waterproof bag. So I grabbed a beach ball that a kind man gave me and gave it a try, but the river was flowing five times faster than I'd imagined, and I seriously thought I was going to die. After doing some research, I found out that tourists go missing quite frequently . https://t.co/EHMbJD4ouL
