I don't see the problem people have of people being photographed pregnant? Some people are acting like it's nasty and wrong, which is a bit contradictory don't you think? I mean, trashy while preggers I can possibly understand, but nude...What on earth is wrong with nude? We always ask for kuu to be her sexy self, yet the thought of her being nude for a lovely photo of her baby is somehow not okay? Having the gift of life is supposed to be the most feminine and happy time for women, why WOULDN'T you want to capture that emotion and memory on camera? I think kuu would take beautiful pictures of her belly, I hope she does.
But maybe that's just me.
This is an english translation of what kuu wrote about the tour:
“‘JAPONESQUE’ is an album filled with songs I made with love. With that, I had so many ideas to surprise everyone for next year’s tour.
However, I’m very sorry that because of my condition, I won’t be able to give a 100% performance. And so, I have decided to cancel next year’s tour.
To everyone who was looking forward to the tour, I’m very sorry.
I don’t think this will make up for the tour, but I want to see everyone as soon as possible, so I will be holding my first Birthday Anniversary Live in fall of 2012. At that time, I will turn 30, and it’s a day I feel I should celebrate, so I will be happy if I can welcome it with everybody. I’m worried that I won’t be able to fit into my costume since it will be after childbirth, but please watch over me warmly.
When the details have been determined, we will report it to everyone as soon as possible.
After safely giving birth, I’m looking forward to the day I will get to see everyone.
With all my love.“

I'm glad she's taking time off to focus on her birth, to rest and relax. I was super excited for JAPONESQUE tour, but I'm glad kuu is putting her health first, tbh, I knew she would.
From the sound of the note, it sounds like she'll be making a comeback after she gives birth, so hopefully we don't have long to wait. I do hope she takes it easy though, maybe comeback slowly, like namie did. Not straight back to hectic schedule as she is now, hahaha.
So excited and happy for kuu!
Each day makes me more excited for JAPONESQUE, I really can't wait to hear the previews.
And don't worry about your baby fat, kuu, you'll look stunning either way!
I don't think kuu will change much, sexy is who she is, and if she teaches her fans to be confident and sexy, then why would she not want to teach her child the same? She's already said she's gonna be a sexy mum.
