I know this has already been discussed in the 'Is Kumi Engaged?' thread, but I thought this topic deserved a thread of it's own.
After there being confusement in the media for the past two days about Kuu's pregnancy, Kuu has finally stepped forward and confirmed she is pregant. The confusement started when a friend of kuu's told a media magazine she was pregnant a couple of days ago. Kuu came forward herself today to confirm it herself, this is the translation from her official site:
"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.“
Congratulations, Kuu!!! <3
Here are the first pictures of her after announcing her pregnancy, she is smiling happily and holding her stomach with care:
And also this is a video of Kuu confirming with her fans at the mini concert and the media about her marriage and pregnancy. There are some touching moment, including where her fans sing 'Ai No Kotoba' to her, and it brings tears to kuu's eyes.
Translation by Lee^Chan @ AHS:
"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. "
^That is so incredibly cute. ;-;
I am so very happy for her. <3 I know a lot of people are thinking it's a shotgun wedding (as that happens a lot in Japan) but we know now from the video that they were talking about marriage months before anyway. Besides, I don't think Kuu would marry someone she didn't love, even if she was pregnant. And to be honest, I think this would have happened down the line anyway.
But all that aside, I'm incredibly happy for kuu. She's going to be a fantastic mum, considering she's already been taking measures to become a mum, and she looks so happy in those photo's, it's been her dream to start a family.
on another note, that is going to be one CUTE BABY. Awww. <3 I cannot wait to see her baby bump, hahaha!
Of course this means there's a high possibility Kuu will take a hiatus, although I am hoping it will be like Namie, where she will take a hiatus for awhile and come back as her usual self. But saying that, she said in the video that she hopes to continue singing, whether that means now or later, we will have to wait for kuu's news.
It'll be so strange not to have any releases from kuu, as people have said we've followed her releases for years, and we will miss her but also send her off with a warm good-bye for her and her future baby! I really hope that Kuu won't stop being the sexy woman that she is, and that promotions and Tour for JAPONESQUE will still go on, but what comes first now is kuu's health and happiness, and I wish her all the happiness and health for them in the future. <3
SO EXCITING. 8DD Again, congratulations, Kuu! I'm really happy you've found happiness! <3
