I'm happy for her but at the same time i hope she doesnt have as hard a time as namie did in getting back into the industry

While it may have been talked about, I still think the pregnancy sped things up -a lot- in terms of the marriage proposal.

Out of wedlock babies (and mothers) are looked upon horribly in Japanese culture.

I still think she's happy, though. Which is the most important. :)

looking forward to know if the baby is a boy or a girl.

A girl would be another koda kumi that sexy and wild.
A boy would be a.. no comment.

aw. i hope everything goes well with her pregnancy and she gives birth to a healthy baby. she should definitely take a couple years off and not continue releasing music at the pace she has been and touring so much. added stress is no good for her during this time.

Oh, I actually think this is pretty cool! I wish her, KENJI and their little sprout the best :) And hopefully we will see her back.
