Uhh wait isn‘t no one questioning HOW this could be physical possible?? Especially when she gave birth on April, the month she held A Cube concert???

HOW could she get in shape THAT fast??? What???

I am confusion

WHAT??! Congratulations.

How did she keep this hidden??!

I immediately went through her Instagram posts to see whether a baby bump was showing but nope! I think you're right. she definitely knew how to hide it :laugh

this news profoundly astonishes me. she's touring constantly and turns out she'd been pregnant for much of it. the POWER this Woman has.

Maybe this explains the lack of music (for the last 9 months at least lol).

I totally came to this thread expecting to see a troll of an article as a source.

So many questions: Has it been reported that she's been dating someone? Doesn't she post daily IG photos? How could no one suspect something while she was in the spotlight all of last year?

Very happy for her!

Thank you for the update.. but still. She is in good shape and slim already??? (Through IG stories and post you could see her slim belly while she is rehearsing) So she lost weight even faster than Kumi did??

Say WHAT? Impossible. I'm in denial. How could this be?
If this is true I hope Ayu is blessed with a wonderful healthy child.

It's a BIG new for the beginning of 2020 !!!! We can be really happy for her, and hope that she'll be a good mother ! she has to preserve her family life and limit her tour (too much dates !!!)
Anyway, congratulations to her !!!!!!

What the... ?!
This is such a bomb. I am happy for her!

And for the ppl wondering this could happen, some women don´t grow typical baby belly. the belly can grow more to the inside, some mothers even don´t notice they are pregnant until the birth because they gain like nearly no weight.

I`m really sorry, but I don`t really belive it. She really never looked pregnant. In none of the latest pics, she looks pregnant. She always was slim. Maybee she has adoped a baby boy?

It could be a denial there is no reason to lie about something like that and considering how she stated several times that she didn't planned to be mother in the future...it's possible

For the not-believers:

This is australia model Erin Langmaid:

she was 34 weeks pregnant on that picture (without knowing)

There are lots of photos of her in baggy looks this year, so looking over Instagram it's more believable after the initial shock. She would have been showing more in the break from the tour too.

Good on her for announcing when she wanted to!

Could it be surrogacy? As far as I know this is not illegal in Japan.

Anyway, congrats Ayumi!

wow negative-Nelly

i went through her ig-pics from this fall and it makes sence now for me - huuuuge boobs and saggy clothes right after TROUBLE TOUR went to a break.. i sent her last TROUBLE TOUR pic to my friends who knows like everything about pregnancy and she said it really can be real that she may not have any babybelly at the time:yes

that explains her megaboobs and why she felt a little tired at CDL

i almost fell out of my sofa when i read this because i was so shocked! but as angel*ayumi just said, it can really be real! every woman is different from each other.. im so freaking happy for ayu! she has always had those lovely moments with her friends child and i have always felt her motherly side from the pictures :love
and it doenst matter if the father is unknown and they are not planning to get married as long as ayu is happy :luv2

just think about how lucky this baby is to have ayu as a mother singing lullabys to him :luv2 luckist baby boy ever!

Oh wow this is super unexpected. 2020 really isn't holding back is it? Ayu becomes a mother literally out of nowhere, Tokyo Jihen reunites... I'm ready for more.

Well... Can we talk about those breasts?

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XYjSwh..._web_copy_link

Looking through Instagram, she's often been wearing hoodie and other loose clothing, and in the images where she is wearing something tight, her breasts are big and she seems to have just a little more around the waist than usual.

She's very physically fit, which generally helps prevent complications, and some women just don't grow much. So it does make sense to me.

I'm still in shock, though! I really hope she's happy and will be able to balance it, without bringing herself down! I wonder what it will mean for her future tours and music.

Have to laugh about the breast posts.
Cause it reminds me of my mother. :roflmao
She's a petite woman, too (about 154 cm, 40-45 kg when she was younger, pretty much like Ayu).
From all the photos I've seen her pregnancies weren't that visible as well - except that her breasts got huge! :laugh
It's causing quite some pain now that she's older tho.

This is definitely the most unexpected piece of news ever but I'm so happy for her :heart

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that she continued touring like nothing was happening... The definition of "multitasking" has been updated :laugh
