Koda Kumi confirms her pregnancy

Singer Koda Kumi has confirmed that she is pregnant with her first child!

Koda was rumored to be pregnant shortly after she revealed that she was getting married to BACK-ON vocalist and guitarist, KENJI03. She planned to make her official announcement after entering a more stable period of pregnancy, however, with all the confusion from the media, Koda decided to release the news today.

On her official website, Koda Kumi wrote:

“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, Koda Kumi!

That sucks that someone had to leak that she was pregnant before it was safe to do so.

Oh well, congratulations Kuu! Maybe now she'll rest between releases!

I still remember her comments about women over 30 and the amniotic fluid.
But congrats and what's with all the dekikons lately.

Ah man I was hoping she wouldn't get pregnant before she turns 35.

jiyeung 16th-Dec-2011 10:36 pm (UTC)

yeah me too.
that sucks.

rosemaine 16th-Dec-2011 02:36 pm (UTC)

Even more happy for her! :D

I don't like making fun of the quickness of people getting married, I just hope that it will last long, since it doesn't seem like a marriage based on much foundation.

I'm so happy that she's having a baby though that's so sweet (probably wrong word to use)

krzhope 16th-Dec-2011 02:41 pm (UTC)

congrats to her~i think she'll be a cool mom...^^

hanmie7227 16th-Dec-2011 02:47 pm (UTC)

congrats to her.

anyway, I like your last advice. Well, people kept making fun on dekichatta kekkon due to baby. Well, at least they still get married even the baby comes earlier than their marriage. Unlike in my country, tons of people throw their babies because of irresponsibilty on the baby as well as on the marriage. So, be grateful than our Koda Kumi is not like that, and his future husband still be responsible on her and their baby. Am I right?

her baby will surely look cuute just lik her!!!

arashic5 16th-Dec-2011 02:53 pm (UTC)

shocked, not. But its understandable. The first trimester is still risky.

shadow_fictions 16th-Dec-2011 02:58 pm (UTC)

Hopefully that kid will get some killer vocals.

clairebear_x 16th-Dec-2011 03:37 pm (UTC)

There's a difference between making fun and criticizing something. I think more people here are criticizing as opposed to making fun of it.

And while I know about the reasons for people having shotgun weddings in Japan, I still think it's highly irresponsible and not a good basis for a marriage. That's just a fact.

I'm surprised that Nozomi Tsuji and Taio Sugiura are still married, but we don't know anything about their private life, so...

liime_arix 16th-Dec-2011 03:12 pm (UTC)

Maybe Japan should change or get rid of the family registry.

Congrats!! I hope it becomes stable...but seriously why couldn't she just say she was pregnant before? lol I don't understand the whole lie than truth thing!

retahdedtim 16th-Dec-2011 05:41 pm (UTC)

Because there's a high chance of miscarriage in the first trimester. Most people wait to tell others about their pregnancy after the first trimester is over.
