She was born there, lived there, and Japanese is her ethnicity. How was it rude for her to do that? She doesn't have to post on the Japan account and she can't, the members don't have access to it. All she said was:

"As a person born in the Heisei era, I was very sad because the Heisei era was about to end, however, Heisei you worked hard, it was the beginning of the Reiwa era, so I will face the beginning and completion of this neat last day of the Heisei"
