For friends who are following the Japanese royal gossip, in addition to year, month and day, there is another way to measure time.
That is the date of the lawyer exam for the prince consort Komuro Kei in New York.
This is the third time legal test has come, the new year's legal test, the new year's group mocking.
The examination, visa, finance and other issues have not been resolved, and Japanese media and netizens have begun to "worry" about Kei Komuro and Mako's situation again.
But outsiders look like they are in dire straits, but the couple is peaceful and peaceful. is said to be still focusing on pregnancy and preparing to have 2-3 babies. .
There was a sensation in Japan before, and people were worried that someone would follow the murderer Shiya Yamakami to assassinate important Japanese figures, especially the royal family.
Many people think that Kei Komuro and Mako must return to Japan to be properly protected. After all, they are "ordinary people in New York" and it seems easier to start.
But the facts are just the opposite. Some Japanese media speculated that "thanks to" this matter, Mako and Kei Komuro's intention to stay in the United States may be more determined. The reason is: Japan is too dangerous, so let's stay in the United States...
Netizen: You can stop it. The rampant guns in New York are not much more serious than in Japan...
But there is no way, they just want to stay in New York. After the French exam, Kei Komuro has become a "celebrity" in this world. Japanese and British media are all squatting on .
On July 26 and 27 local time, the two-day lawyer examination was held as scheduled.
Kei Komuro, who has not passed twice, appeared outside the examination room again.
According to foreign media, "He was wearing a wrinkled square button shirt. The shirt was not stuffed into green shorts, and a pair of black sneakers.
His sleeves were casually rolled up, revealing the green wristband on his wrist. This wristband is a proof of his identity as a candidate."
Although Mako did not come to take the exam, he had a high recognition. When he walked outside the exam room, he was surrounded by reporters who rushed up.
Everyone is still as "passionate" towards the prince-consort, and Japanese media also began to "sing" ahead of schedule as always.
Since Princess Mako has been determined to be with him, even if his mother is a deadbeat and all kinds of scandals are exposed at home, the Japanese have become the "black fans" of this couple.
Last October, a few days after Mako's 30th birthday, the two finally "elope" to New York as they wished. Mako left the royal family and is now working as a free volunteer at Metropolitan Museum of Art , and should be a curator in the future.
while Kei Komuro has been working in a well-known law firm, , but he is not a lawyer, he does not have the qualifications of a lawyer, he is just a legal assistant .
When it comes to lawyer qualifications, we must talk about Kei Komuro’s past failure history of the legal examination.
law exams are held twice every year in February and July. Kei Komuro took the exams last July and February this year, but she failed.
Komuro Kei's first exam in July last year, the pass rate of the first candidate for was 78% . This seems very likely, but it is still difficult for foreigners.
A Japanese lawyer who took the exam with Kei Komuro last year recalled that
"Memorizing things in English and writing answers in English is more stressful than imagined, so the biggest idea after the exam is 'I finally don't need to learn anymore'."
Even people who understand English have to learn a lot before the exam, after all, they are not their native language.
"You can't remember English at once, so you have to repeat it over and over again to fix the language in your mind.
Legal terminology is difficult in Japanese. Even if you understand and remember it in Japanese, there will still be a situation in the exam, "I understand Japanese, but what is English?" So it's very tiring."
In the February exam this year, the pass rate of the first candidates for is 45% , and the candidates for are 30% , and Kei Komuro still failed.
is now Kei Komuro's third legal examination. Japanese media referred to the legal examination in July last year. The pass rate of the candidates who took the again was only 18% , which is probably even more unsustainable.
Seeing this, many people may have strong empathy with Kei Komuro because of the anxiety of taking the exam.
Don’t rush to empathize with him first. Even if he takes the third test, he may not be very panicked, because... he has a (former) princess wife!
As long as he wants, he can have a hundred ways to stay in New York.
First, he used the "OPT plan" to extend the student visa, but this plan only lasts for one year. After he graduated last year, it expired until July this year.
He is still in the United States and looks quite relaxed, which means he has successfully applied for other visas.
A local reporter said that
"Kei Komuro applied for a 'H-1B' visa, and the applicant is a profession that requires high professional knowledge. He had already drawn lots at the end of March this year.
Legal affairs like Komuro are also within the scope of the application permit. If successful, the validity period will be 3 years from October, and it can be extended by 3 years."
Good guy, this time it has been 6 years, and there are 12 chances to retake the exam (not .
signing If the certificate is completed, then financial problems are even more not a problem.
Japanese netizens have been asking "Where are they money that can afford the high prices in New York?" They questioned that they are taking the taxes of the Japanese people and eating and drinking spicy food overseas.
The facts may be as the Japanese think. Although Mako has left the imperial family, she is nominally an ordinary person. But how could there be ordinary people in the world who can "speak directly to the heavens" whenever they are in detail, pay close attention to any life problems?
No ordinary people can save a huge sum of money when they are princesses. Many Japanese media have revealed that although Mako didn't want the princess to get married, she would give it to her. "Dowry", , but her own savings are 100 million yen (about 5 million yuan) .
How did this 100 million come about?
Japanese royal family get royal fees every year (from taxes) , Before adulthood, it was 3.05 million yen, 9.15 million yen per year as an adult . Mako got married at the age of 30. It is reasonable to save so much money over the years.
.1 billion yen For real ordinary people, they can't save so much in their lifetime, but this is not all about Mako.
What’s more important is that although Mako has left the royal family, her blood relationship with the royal family has not disappeared, so the inheritance rights still exist.
At the beginning of the year, it was reported that the Japanese Empress Dowager Michiko felt sorry for Mako "end hardship" outside and used her own money to help her eldest granddaughter.

But the transfer of royal property must be approved by the Congress, which would be too troublesome, , so Michiko should have chosen the "pre-creation gift" that does not require review and disclosure, and gave the money to Mako .
This is also a treatment that only the granddaughter Mako can enjoy. Even if there is no title, there is still blood and family affection.
This is just the money on the surface. The title of "Former Princess" covers not only that, let alone Mako is the sister of the future emperor of Japan, and Kei Komuro is the spouse of the future emperor's sister.
It goes without saying that enterprises and groups related to the royal family have opened the door to them, and there are countless people who want to get online.
A Japanese reporter summarized this situation, "business opportunities are unlimited".
Take the law firm Kei Komuro is currently staying for example. He has failed the legal exam twice and is still able to stay in it, which has explained the problem to some extent.
"Introduced on the firm's website, Kei Komuro is responsible for M&A (company merger and acquisition) and other businesses, but because he is not a lawyer, it is difficult to hold the main business.
But on the other hand, Kei Komuro is responsible for the business, and it does not need the qualification of a lawyer, as long as he has the heart and resources, it can be carried out.
A person related to the Interior Department of the Interior Department said, 'In this regard, the firm may have gained benefits'."
Kei Komuro is now a "living signboard". According to the reporter, there are basically no people working in Japanese companies who don't know Kei Komuro's name. It can be said that no Japanese in the United States has such a high reputation. In the workplace, this will become his powerful weapon.
He is now in the United States, but his identity as a Japanese legal assistant is more responsible for Japanese companies.
Even if a person with lawyer qualifications is likely to receive higher rewards, as the "spouse of the future emperor's sister", who would not want to have a relationship with the royal family?
This is the connection. Once the money problem is solved, the problem is basically solved. Then isn’t it better to be peaceful?
According to Japanese media, Kei Komuro has paid more attention to "pregnancy activities" than reviewing the exam in the short term, preparing for Mako's pregnancy.
Mako has a clear goal for getting married and having children. Before marriage, she said, "I want to get married before the age of 30" and "If you want children, it is best to have 2-3 children."
. Kei Komuro is thinking about "a boy, a girl". Maybe because he is an only child, he looks forward to this kind of sibling connection.
The New York Consulate General now has female staff in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who specializes in taking care of Mako. Some people familiar with the local situation revealed that
"Now, the Komuro couple and everyone in the consulate are discussing one thing, which is 'Miss Mako's happy event'.
The couple have always wanted children, We have always insisted on the so-called 'pregnancy preparation activity'. According to the wishes of the two, the Consulate General told them, 'If this happens, please tell us. We will provide help by introducing the hospital and other means. '"
It was previously revealed that she went to the hospital. At that time, there were many speculations "whether it was because of pregnancy", but according to local reporters, "this is not a sign of pregnancy, but various preparations for pregnancy."
In other words, they are imperative to get pregnant and have children, which can also be very intuitively seen that they have a firm belief in staying in the United States. Although it seems to others that there is nothing, they are already ready to have a baby and take root.
Putting aside other things, their daily life looks quite loving. Foreign media also photographed them going out together last month, looking like an ordinary loving couple.
But Mako's royal family background cannot be abandoned, and they themselves cannot be abandoned. Without this, they will no longer have any capital to "be quiet and peaceful years", let alone take root in a foreign country.
, a "privilege" that seems to be non-existent but is actually everywhere, began to be mentioned by more people after the sensation of Abe 's assassination, was mainly because the Japanese were too disgusted with them and they took advantage of .
Someone even compared the security level when Abe was assassinated and Kei Komuro went to get his driver's license.
From this we can also see that no matter what happens in , Japanese people can contact Mako and Kei Komuro, and step on , which can be regarded as "referred by thousands of people" in Japan.
But no matter how much scolding they are, they are still thousands of miles away now, and in fact they can't really affect anything.
Mako's complexion has improved with the naked eye since the day she left Japan, and she seems to be reborn.
Thinking of this way, it is really no longer important whether Kei Komuro can pass the third legal examination. They have made up their minds to stay in the United States, so they will stay no matter what.
According to this trend, there will probably be more Japanese royal gossip in the future. Not to mention anything else, just take Mako's concentration in preparing for pregnancy and planning to have 2-3 children.
She was originally the oldest among the royal grandchildren. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be the first to have a child.
By then this child will be the first among great-grandchildren. Even if the true son has no title, his blood relationship will not be broken.
Then the question arises. If Mako has a child in the United States, will her parents - Prince Wenren and Princess Kiko go to see her, or don’t go to see her? The Japanese will definitely be unhappy when they see her; if they don’t look at her, they will definitely be unhappy when they don’t look at her; if they don’t look at her, they will seem a little unkind.
For the Japanese royal family, there should be more and more embarrassing problems like this in the future. In other words, this super long horse-catching series, please wait and see~
