New japanese heir

Oh good, maybe now they will withdraw the public demand to hang her. I hear the declining Japanese economy is mostly the fault of Princess Kiko due to her not having a son up until now.

Well I'm being sarcastic and am greatly exaggerating...maybe.

There has indeed been a public outcry against her (and other Princesses) inability to produce a male heir and some of those lead to death threats.

As for the economy, I have a quick story.

My company has very strong financial relations with many Japanese companies. Many of these companies have been around for a long time so there are some lingering old customs in upper management in a lot of these companies.

In the six years I've worked upper management for my company, we've had two large business deals fall though due to the Japanese company bailing on us. Both companies reasons pretty much simplified down to "not wanting to invest large sums of capital at the moment. Japan is currently without a male heir and this foretells of bad times ahead for our company and our country."

I doubt this is a belief held by most modern Japanese companies, but still yeah if it wasn't already know, Japan is pretty crazy.

No, actually Princess Masako wasn't who I was thinking of. After her announced pregnancy, Princess Kiko was being threatened that if she were not to have a male she was going to be publicly hung. And the Japanese economy took a nosedive around the time she was hospitalized (which turned out to just be a normal check-up) during her pregnancy a few months back.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
