[News] Koda Kumi Is Pregnant!

[LacusClyne]

Koda Kumi had confirm her pregancy on her official website, and this is not a shotgun marriage. Her husband, kenji propose to her before she knew about the baby.

This is from a interview translated by lee chan:


She mentioned that how much she wanted to tell the news to everyone right from her mouth and she didn't mean to hide the news. She knew about the pregnancy after she came back from Singapore. She went to the doctor and the doctor said that she should wait until her condition to be stable first. She's 8 weeks pregnant at the moment.
She was introduced to Kenji around Jan/Feb (before Spring) and became really close. She said that Kenji has a gentle heart which reminds her of Peterpan (someone who treasures a heart of a child -sorry, i don't know how to translate it very well). She said that Kenji has a lot of parts which she can respect. Apparently there's a lot of Kenji's influence on her Japonesque album, as she received a lot of advices from him.
Even tho she's just known him only for a while, but there's a feeling of "Bond" since the first time they met, which she didn't feel on her previous relationships.
They were nervous when they mentioned about it to Kuu's parents. Kenji's family (she mentioned that Kenji is half Japanese-Taiwanese) is very happy about the news.
She said that they plan to enter the family registration on Kenji's dad's death anniversary this month.
They've been discussing about marriage 3 months after they've been going out. But the proposal was after they found out that Kuu's pregnant. She was proposed at home while having dinner. She said that Kenji is a really good cook.
She calls him Ken-chan, and Kenji calls her Kumi-chan.
Message for her fans: She would like to thank her fans for the support, and she hopes that she can continue to sing and be the stronger and more powerful Koda Kumi.

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。

Hello everyone!

I wanted to report this to my fans first, but I discussed it with my doctor and was told not to make an announcement just yet since I’m not in my stable period of pregnancy. This is why I wasn’t able to report it to everyone at that time.

After the reports came out, a lot of people became confused. That wasn’t my intention, and so I decided to make this announcement earlier than scheduled.

At this time, I have been gifted with a new life!

With this new life, I pray everyday that the three of us will enjoy life as a family.

I hope everyone will continue to watch over us with warm eyes.

As for the tour, I have my body to think about, so I am currently discussing it with my staff.

I should be able to make an announcement early next week, so I hope you will all wait for me

Koda Kumi

[koumori]

What happy news She'll make a great mother. I'm sure she'll take a hiatus to concentrate on being a family for a while, but she's such a career woman - she'll be back

[AyuHamasaki01]

Such happy news I'm sure she'll be an awesome mom!
Congrats to her and Kenji

[TofuBunny]

[emi♡]

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

so, it's a shotgun wedding(?) -> married by accident

just like Namie.

[YUKARI]

oh my God, I'm so happy for her! awww

[sesshy]

I'm not surprised as I was with the marriage to be honest. lol Congrats to the two! Wow... Kenji's is gonna be a dad. When you follow a band since debut, you feel like you watched them grow, even though you're younger than them.

[yoshino]

It's not, kenji propose to her before they knew about it. See the top post for the interview translated by lee chan. (^_^)

I am so happy for her

[Bad Wolf]

Well this sucks. Babies can be such boat anchors. I hope she can make it work like Namie.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^ Agreed...

[emi♡]

...it's much less of a boat anchor when you have thousands of dollars and people all around you to help though.

[Bad Wolf]

Monetary needs aren't the only chain a child provides. It takes away so much personal freedom, too. Which is total balls, but hey, it's not my life. I'm glad she seems pleased about it.

[rusuke]

I'm so happy for Kuu-chan! And I think she's gonna be a cool and loving mom.

Congratz to her!

[emi♡]

^^lol no, but plenty of people out there have full time jobs, lots of activities, and still manage to find time for themselves and their children.

and a lot about what I meant with the money is that, I think it makes a ton of difference for instance, having to find time to cook everyday or clean, or to do your hair and nails, to being able to just hire someone to do all those things. You know? lol

She probably won't, but, however much time she wants to spend on the child and away from herself is going to be completely up to her, and money is going to make that possible.

Normal people don't have that privilege, and yeah, it does take a lot of personal time away.
