“We are grateful that many people are interested (in the agency’s channel), and we would like to make more efforts” to make its content more interesting, Maiko Fujiwara, the head of the agency’s public relations office, said.
The YouTube channel is part of the agency’s outreach efforts for the imperial family. It also has an Instagram account that has garnered some 1.9 million followers since its launch April 2024.
