Japan's Emperor Akihito turns 75
Japan's Emperor Akihito, who turned 75 yesterday and is nearing his 20th anniversary on the throne, expressed his concern for those hit by the global financial crisis as he stood in front of hundreds of well-wishers.
It also follows cancellations of his duties earlier this month due to stress-related health issues, including irregular pulse and bleeding in the stomach.
