People who lack self esteem seek out to be with the rich and famous.

Famous, yes; Rich, debatable.
It takes a real cynic to see something wrong with this photo.

Note that except for the man in front of the emperor, all the other are women.

Staged, look at the residents they are all wearing their best clothes, if it was random people wouldn't be wearing their best dressed.

The Imperial compound in Zushi looks like any other imperial compound except there is a dirty nasty beach just outside the back wall. maybe back in the day this was a better spot to locate the emperor's coastal retreat, but these days it just seems unworthy. I don't see the emperor boogie boarding on that stretch of sand, or anywhere in Kanagawa for that matter.

Pathetic old women with nothing better to do with their lives.
However, I do like the expression on that guy's face. It says: "I waited all that time for this?"

What is the emperor saying? "Now young Skywalker-san you will die"

Someone has brought their dog with them, there are no foreigners in the photo and also, I can't see any security. Where is the SWAT team?

Ninja - Heck, they've been retired for years. This is just volunteer work.

If he's not saying it, I'll bet he's certainly thinking:
"My father was worshiped as a living god. Now here I am at yet another crappy event having to smile like an idiot day in and day out just to keep these slack jawed yokels happy so they won't turn me out on the street. What sins did I commit in a past life for karma to screw me like this?"

what a lucky japanese, they have their own cool emperor and empress in their country not like other country in this world, i really want to meet with emperor of japan, but i think is impossiblle, because the emperor is unreachble.
