And Avex already denied it, good.

hahahah hilarious!

[Minttulatte]

Yeah, as if everyone goes to the dentist to know if they're pregnant lol.

[kaled kalil]

I think So Nice is a uptempo song, it's the first song of the album... I don't think the album will start with a slow song.

And about this whole pregnancy thing, to me this is just a big lie. lol

[Ningyo Hime]

I think she may need to reconsider who her "friends" are if this is true xP

[Twinkle !]

OMG I'm really looking forward to So Nice!

this song is giving me weird feelings why do I feel we're gonna have song "MORE SEXIER" version of SHAKE IT !

lol a dentist ? I think she's giving birth through her mouth , What a Kuu

[Ayu_Love]

I read the Tokyohive article on Kumi-Flash, LOL.

"Her friend explained, “When she found out about her pregnancy, she was recommended to get her teeth examined as soon as possible. After the birth she will be busy caring for her child, therefore she wouldn’t find the time to see a dentist in case of dental caries and so on. There have been women whose teeth suffered some series damage due to this reason.”

Just..LOL. Screw the doctor, dentist is the most important thing to get checked when pregnant. 8D

‘Josei Seven’ also spotted the singer and her fiancé a few days prior to the announcement. Upon hearing the scoop from Koda’s friend, they looked at the pictures again and noticed that she was wearing flat shoes instead of her usual high heels. Moreover she was wearing several layers of outer garments in order to protect her stomach from the cold. She also was wearing big sunglasses at that time, but all that didn’t hide her radiant smile. Proof of her complete happiness?"

Or, OR...she was just cold in general? ¬¬ And she always wears flat shoes and more comfortable clothes in her spare time, she's always said that XD Although I could imagine Kuu being that caring and smiling if she was pregnant, that's the only thing I like about this article, kinda warms me to kuu would probably act like that.

"A friend of Koda Kumi claims to know the whole truth about the sudden marriage announcement. That person stated, “To tell you the truth, Koda is having a baby inside her stomach. She’s still in a very early stage, but he’s already all worried about Koda’s health and doesn’t want to stay away from her for even a second."

If that was true that would actually be really sweet but, I am not going to trust anything about this the media says, until I hear it from Avex or Kuu. To be honest I think Kuu would be happy to announce she's having a child if she was, so I will wait for her.

On another note, this is an old demo Kuu did in 1998 before she debuted, credits, Kumi-flash!

Eh the thing about new mothers and teeth in Japan is true at least it was a trend (for lack of a better word) a couple of years ago now mothers make time to go to the dentist.

[ayu_ready?]

I'm so so glad she's getting married! she deserves it and I think she'll be a very great mom. definately. she has a live example of her family, mom & dad being together for so long and she mentioned it inspired her so much and she wanted that kind of family. they look so good together. actually I was a bit suspicous when she did that kiss at a-nation, but then I thought it was "just a typical Koda Kumi", so...
I approve of her choice though I don't know they guy, but I approve so much more then of Ayu's...kekeke

but do you think JAPONESQUE IS HER LAST ALBUM???

like, it's 10th
it's great
it's full of amazing stuff
so many PVs

like, the last straw??? oh my God.

the people who I listen to now are only Kuu (1st place, she brings much excitement & happiness) & 2NE1. BIG BANG has too much issues this year. Ayu's got too boring...Hyolee in relationship and whether she'll relese smth is a big doubt...

oh where have my idols all gone??? i'm getting old.

OMG, love this article!

And I would find it very funny, if she will get her first child when she's 36 or so... xD

[kaled kalil]

I dont think it's her last album, but maybe (if she get pregnant next year) her last 'sexy' release.
I cant see she being a mom and doing something really erokakkoi anymore.

Her tour hasn't been cancelled (yet) so she'll at least do that. After that, she'll probably want to take some time off to enjoy her marriage. Kuu had said that Kenji was supportive of her career so if she still wants to do it there's no obstacle there.

I kinda think, though, that if she really enjoys marriage (and wants kids), she probably will retire sooner rather than later - but I'm also sure she'd do it right and go on a really long farewell tour first.

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I honestly don't see Kumi retiring till like 2020-2025 tbh if she does at all.

[~StarCatcher~]

I Hope she will be Super happy and manage it to make Music like before

I feel so identificated with you hahahaha!

It's official: she's pregnant.

《速報》倖田、イベントで妊娠を発表!!(12/16 18:48)

ロックバンド「BACK-ON」のKENJI03(27)と結婚することを発表した歌手の倖田來未(29)が16日、都内で新曲「L ove Me Back」のイベントを行い、妊娠していることをファンに報告した。倖田は「くぅちゃん結婚しましたー!お なかの中に赤ちゃんできましたー!どうしよう」と照れながら報告すると、600人のファンからは歓声が上が った。13日の結婚発表の際には、婚姻届の提出は12月末を予定しており、所属事務所は妊娠していないとし ていた。しかし15日には一部マスコミが妊娠していると報じた。

During an event where she performed Love Me Back, she stated that she's a pregnant.

[MissElin_]

Woha! Look at that. A little baby Kuu! How lovely!
I wonder what will happen with the tour... She can't really fly all over the stage if she's pregnant. But she does so wonderful just standing on one spot too. Or will they maybe cancel?

[Zahara]

Whaaaaaaat. I guess I should get used to calling her Momma Kuu now.

[tenshi no hane]

Official message from Kuu:

みなさん、こんにちわ！

ファンのみんなには一番に報告をしたかったのですが、まだ安定期に入っておらず、病院の先生とも相談し、ま だ発表はまだだね、と判断し、みんなには報告できていませんでした。

ですが、今回の報道を受けて、みんなを混乱させてしまって、それは私の本意ではないので、予定より早くなり ましたが、発表を決意しました。


このたび、新しい命を授かりました！


この新しい命とともに、家族３人で楽しく生活できることを願う毎日です。


今後も暖かく見守っていただければと思います。


ツアーに関しては、体のこともあるので、今スタッフと話し合っています。
来週の早い段階では発表できると思いますので、もう少し待っていただけたら嬉しいです。

倖田來未

She says she didn't mention anything yet because her pregnancy hasn't entered the stable period yet so her doctor advised her not to disclose anything yet. But because of the confusion caused by the media, she decided to share the news of her pregnancy anyway.
Also, concerning the tour, she's discussing it with her staff. She asks us to wait a little longer (for more information).

[Benikari47]

WOW! Congrats Kuu! <3
