However, to achieve this, it is necessary to perform the rituals properly to bring the souls down to the earthly realm. If these rituals fail, it is unclear what will happen, and the future of the Imperial Family may become unstable. Therefore, it seems necessary to perform the rituals to bring down the souls within the next 10 years, perhaps as early as 5 years from now.
Since this is a matter for the future, it is a long-term issue. Moreover, H is still a child and has not yet become the Emperor. While the question of who will be the next Emperor is certainly important, what is even more important is the generation after that. It is crucial that H's children have many male heirs, solidifying the tradition of the male-line succession, strengthening the layer of Imperial Family members, and expanding the options available. This is necessary not only for Japan but also for world peace. With more members in the Imperial Family, it will become a more lively and splendid institution. This will create a sense of stability for the future of Japan, making people happier, and increasing the opportunities for interaction with other countries.
Regarding who will be the next Emperor, while it is not clearly visible, there is a possibility that H will become the Emperor. Alternatively, there is a possibility that A will become the first female Emperor (in the male line), but it seems more natural for H to become the Emperor. In any case, while it is not clear who will be the next Emperor, it seems that the heirs of the generation after that will be H's children. It is important to make this a success. This generation (the generation after the next Emperor) seems to be very important in the grand scheme of things.
Therefore, it is necessary to perform the rituals properly to bring down the souls of five individuals who have the potential to become Emperor.
The deity enshrined at U Shrine is Hachiman-no-Kami, and it is said that the spirit of Emperor Ojin, the 15th Emperor, descended there. It is said that Emperor Ojin is Hachiman-no-Kami. At this place, five souls related to the Imperial Family will descend, and in order to properly welcome these souls, various preparations are being made, both by people on Earth and by the gods.
(This was something I perceived during meditation, and I have not confirmed what preparations are being made at the actual shrine. This is purely my personal intuition.)

2025/6/5 Supplement:
The four individuals originally possessed male souls and will exhibit mannerisms and a mindset consistent with the dignified behavior expected of members of the Imperial Family. The fifth individual appears to have originally possessed a female soul, and could have been born as a female. However, out of a mixture of curiosity and because the other four are male, she seems to have decided to be born as a male, thinking, "Since everyone else is male, maybe I should be too. I'd like to experience that for myself." Therefore, there will likely be one male who seems somewhat feminine. As for what will actually happen, it is still uncertain, but how will it unfold? In order for this to happen, proper rituals must be performed to bring down the souls, and without that, it will not be possible. Therefore, in order to realize this future, diligent efforts such as prayers and rituals by the people on Earth will be necessary.
Postscript:
It is likely that the fifth child is either the fourth or fifth son.
