Is the emperor still a living God? - 12-04-2011, 06:26 PM
Is the emperor still a living God? If he is not, then about how long ago was he no longer considered as such?

Also, does the emperor still speak in a special language? Or does he speak regular Japanese nowadays? I remember reading that when Hirohito announced the surrender of Japan, his speech had to be translated.
