Josh in Japan

This is another week of all feedback. The email pile is getting shorter and shorter. Again, lots of excellent questions, with hopefully some helpful answers.

We introduced a new segment called “Places in Japan”. This week we focused on Tokushima which is in the Shikoku region of Japan. Pretty interesting stuff.

As always, don’t forget to email your questions or comments to josh \at\ joshinjapan.com. Also, hit up the forums when you have some free time to spare.

Until next week,

mata-ne!

Welcome back to the Josh in Japan podcast.

I know that some might be skeptical about the podcast now that I’m in Florida, but please don’t worry. I’m still just as tuned in to what’s going on in Japan as I was before I left. Now that I am only a student, you might even say that I have more time to keep up on all things Japan.

Episode #41 is more feedback. I have one, maybe two shows of just pure feedback left before we can start doing more interesting things with the show. I made new segment intros since I have so much more functionality with the new computer.

Enough of my rambling. Let’s get on with the show.

Princess Kiko gave birth to a baby boy Wednesday morning at the Aiiku Hospital in Tokyo, the Imperial Household Agency said.

The boy was born at 8:27 a.m. and weighed 2,558 grams.

He was in good health, according to the agency.

Princess Kiko, 39, gave birth by Caesarean section, the first in the history of the Imperial Family. Princess Kiko’s procedure was completed successfully just after 9 a.m., the agency said.

The birth is the first male to have been born into the Imperial Family since his father, Prince Akishino, 41 years ago. The child becomes third in line to succeed the Imperial Throne, behind Crown Prince Naruhito and Prince Akishino.

Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko’s boy is their first child in 12 years. They have two daughters, Princess Mako, 14, and Princess Kako, 12. Their son is the first grandson for Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko. Their other grandchild is Princess Aiko, the daughter of Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako. (Mainichi)
