Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

TV was in its infancy back then and I'm not sure Hirohito appeared in any films, probably 99.99% of Japanese had no idea what the Emperor looked like other than from a few photos. Most Americans didn't even know that FDR used a wheelchair.
