The revered 82-year-old emperor's comments came in his second-ever televised address to the public. While he did not use the word "abdicate", he strongly indicated that he wishes to hand over his duties. PM Shinzo Abe said the government would "seriously" discuss the legal changes required for that to happen. |

The whole text of his speech sounds similar to my speech at my retirement party after 30 years of service...........
