Tokyo Love Story. Japan celebrates in the streets as 1500 years of tradition topples with the announcement that Crown Prince Akihito will marry a commoner, the daughter of a Tokyo industrialist, after a tennis-court courtship. She'll become the first Empress of Japan who was not chosen from a narrow circle of royal families. Japanese crowds. Young Japanese woman in nice 1950s wear; flashbulbs flash in her direction. Japanese man, flashbulbs flashing at him. Tennis courts, young men and women around them, watching, talking. Outdoor nighttime parade.
