On September 6, 2006, at 8:27 a.m. (Japan Standard Time), Princess Kiko gave birth to a son. The birth provides the first male heir to be born in the imperial family for 40 years...

Otaku! Everywhere! Bow down and show your love and respect for your new prince. He is the inheritor of the nations proud tradition of anime, manga and video games. May the new prince grow up to be strong and wise to lead the empire's hikkikomori to salvation, and champion the cause of "mo-e"! BANZAII!!!

If the prince grew up to be otaku himself, imagine the luxury. He can have:

• Every volume of manga ever made. Stocked at a grand library, where there's a Lazy boy at the end of every rack. If there's a great new manga and the creator is being a bit behind schedule releasing new chapters, he can "insist" on having a early copy.

• Every console and every game made for it. He could have 5, no, 10 PS3's! All running on giant widescreen WEGA's.

• Every piece of animation ever made in Japan. TV shows, movies, rare cells. His screening room is a 400 seat theater. Of course, all the 399 seats are vacant. Except when he gets a GF.

• 20 Sony VAIO's. Half running message boards, the other half, moe-games. Of course, every moe-game is stored on the custom 500 tetrabyte HD. All installed.

Ohh, some more:

• Every servant of his castle must be a cute female. All must be seen wearing maid outfits in his presence.

• Toyota gives him a '86 Trueno. Mitsubishi and Honda can join forces to make him an actual working Gundam. Or Eva. Or Both.

• Every comiket gets a one day extension for his exclusive shopping. NO lines, NO wait. Every doujin signed.

It's good to be the prince....
