Are they talking about the Current emperor's ascension to replace their Dad (Emperor Akihito i presume)
Yes to ascension, but no,not dead, and he's not all THAT old. 85. He abdicated.
The Heisei era lasted 30 years. I actually got in the habit of thinking in terms of both. For instance the Tohoku quake and tsunami was heisei 23.
It's weird to think we're in a new era, tbh.
