Musician Sean Lennon (50), son of John Lennon, has announced on social media the birth of his first child — a baby boy named Aurelius — with his partner Charlotte Kemp Muhl. This marks John Lennon’s first grandchild. On 5ch forum threads, discussion ranged from how much the baby resembles his half-brother Julian Lennon, to his lineage from the Yasuda zaibatsu (his grandmother Yoko Ono’s family), to opinions on Sean’s own music career — all mixed in with congratulations and casual chatter.

What people said
He looks just like him, however you slice it.
John's X-chromosome genes are strong.
He's also got Yasuda zaibatsu blood in him (Yoko Ono's family, one of Japan's old business dynasties).
Not that side.
But his partner? Her name sounds like "Nitchiro'" (a Japanese comedian known for his Ichiro Suzuki impression)…
Is that her real name, or is she doing a bit?
A baby after 19 years together!
They seem like a great couple.
Congrats.
Only child, no inheritance squabbles, going to be doted on like crazy.
I want to be reincarnated and live in the Dakota!
He should get Ringo to sing "Good Night" to his son — his old man would be happy too.
Not quite to Kusama's level, but Yoko Ono does get a mention in Western art history too.
The art world back then was centered on white men.
In the '80s the Guerrilla Girls called out how women had to be nude to get into art museums,
and even among women, Pindell said
"it was centered on white women, and women of color weren't factored in" — that's the era it was.
And yet in this photo he looks fully Japanese.
Beautifoo…
Beautifoo…
Beautifoo Gaaal~ (playing on John Lennon's song "Beautiful Boy")
So "Beautiful Boy" Taro-kun (a joking generic Japanese nickname for the half-Japanese Sean) is a dad now, huh.
And Julian's become an uncle.
Still, that baby looks totally Japanese.
His wife's a beauty.
Heard he's doing well on the radio these days.
Like "Impertinent Charlotte"? (referencing the French actress and her film "Charlotte for Ever")
Guess having some Ono blood in him shows — it feels like it strays a bit from your typical Western pop.
Well, can't help it when your dad's such a legend.
Even Zak, who seems the most active, is just a journeyman drummer bouncing between bands.
Zak's done plenty well for himself.
Background and talking points
Sean Lennon is a musician born in 1975 — notably on John’s 55th birthday. His mother is Yoko Ono, and he’s descended from the Yasuda zaibatsu, a prominent Japanese business dynasty. His music drew some praise on 5ch (“actually pretty interesting”), though his father’s towering legacy also drew harsher comments like “never really made it big.” His first child with partner Charlotte Kemp Muhl arrives after 19 years together. Thread commenters were split on whether the baby takes after his father’s or mother’s side, and comparisons were drawn with his half-brother Julian Lennon (John’s son with his first wife, Cynthia). Julian has no children, making Aurelius John Lennon’s first grandchild.
