Tokyo will ask Japan's Crown Prince Naruhito and Princess Masako to help its bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, matching stars lined up by other candidate cities, the capital's governor said Thursday.
"It will be absolutely necessary to solicit kind help from the imperial family for the benefit of the Japanese people and for the history of Japan," said Shintaro Ishihara, who also heads Tokyo's Olympic bid committee. AFP report
