Are people in Japan excited for the royal wedding in London?

Question:


Will they go out of their to watch it? or do they not care?

ANSWERS FROM PEOPLE IN JAPAN please since they will be ones who actually witness people's attitudes.

Answer:


Enough with the preachy, holier-than-thou attitudes.

You people try to make it sound like all 130 million Japanese people are working from dawn till dusk, building new houses and living on government rations, and that people do not have time to watch TV or be interested in things. While what happened in Fukushima is a very large-scale disaster, it has not shut down the country or anything.
Yes, it's been a month since the natural disaster, and the news coverage of the nuclear plants is non-stop, but Japanese people who are not homeless or grieving (meaning most of the country not affected by the earthquake and tsunami), are going about their daily business, watching stupid variety shows where members of Arashi hold koalas, Matsuko Deluxe is still waddling around Tokyo and eating Yaki tori, Doraemon and Chibi-Maruko-chan are still on the TV.

But since Japan has its own royal family, there is simply not that much interest. Lady Diana was the only royal that was really popular. I think the Lady Diana was the exception to the rule. She was beautiful and smart, and people around the world liked her. But since then, it's just the regular royals, who look more and more like Prince Charles (who is about as popular as George W. Bush LOL) every day.


Besides, even the English don't really give a crap about it. I just saw a survey that 40% of Britons want to pension off the royal family and retire this relic from the past.
