Pretty much

Next to none when it comes to preserving the security and dignity of the Imperial Family (that is, personal affairs).

If the Japanese Government were to abolish the Monarchy system the next day, the Emperor family will probably find themselves on the street lining up for the soup line.

Well, actually..... let's just say that non-listed assets would make the Imperial Family as rich as, if not richer, than the British Royal Family. Total assets equaled about $4 billion in today's terms back in 1948.

No, no title is given, and the princess is just completely out of the family. Most likely one of the former cadet branches will be designated the new Imperial Family.

Impossible scenario (concerning abdication), as
I wrote a few posts above.
Not sure why, but why are people thinking that the succession law has been changed or something? No female member of the Imperial Family cannot be the Tenno until the law is changed.
