Ayu gives birth to a baby boy

[Earth_maiden]

I'm glad that she kept it quiet and could experience those pregnancy months in private. Fans just can't be trusted to be supportive anymore, and I think she learned that from her active twitter years.

I agree. I’m glad she was able to keep it a secret and just enjoy this time by herself in a way. It was the better choice.

I am honestly glad she did it this way. Reminded me of the way I saw Ayu when I was younger and there wasn’t as much social media. She seemed like a very private person, almost an enigma. She didn’t mix her private and public life as much.
Her last few public relationships were quite the contrast to the way she used to handle things.

Never have I ever imagined myself reading this headline one day... Congratulations Ayu! <3 and I agree that he's the luckiest baby boy ever!

[AyuGAME]

OMG! Is this happening? Is this real? When and how?
and she just gave birth but already held a 3 hours concert 2 days ago? Holy! She is wonder woman.

CONGRATS! Although still can't believe the news.

[YUKARI]

I'm 100% sure she wanted this baby. I hope she's happy now

New single: A son is born

[kalikagai]

YES, I KNEW IT!!! I was watching CDL19-20 just yesterday and thinking about how she definitely does look like a nursing (lactating) mother!

Really-really sincerely happy for her! Best wishes for both of them

So... If I understand correctly she toured until August and gave birth in November??? What a superwoman

I thought of something...
The 2 black stripped stars on this last CDL's logo are still bothering me and I can't think anyone will do this without any reason (because... you know, it's kinda ugly not being centered).

Can it be a baby related stuff? Like a code with the stripped colors? (name, date of birth etc...).
I may think too much. But really... There has to be a reason beside bad artistic decision haha!

I thought the stars represent her past lovers/husbands

[mizuki-7]

Ahah I like to think that she represents the golden star and the father the blue one and together they formed the green star (yellow + blue = green )

And we were all a bit mad at how she wasn't promoting the re-issue of LOVEppears, neither on TV, magazines or even a instagram live. Now it's so clear why, I even feel a bit stupid lol She was just at the end of the pregnancy when the album came out, that's so crazy

Why would anyone promote a re-issue of an album originally released 20 years ago? It was mean to be purchased by the core fanbase and it was expensive as hell.

Yeah... I think people had some pretty unrealistic expectations about this re-release.

This explains why the CDL 2019-2020 tickets was so expensive, Ayu needs the money to buy a crib, diapers and baby proof her home.

All that marble is NOT baby-proof!

I'm assuming she really wanted the baby since she is having a baby at 41 is carries a higher risk and she was willing to take the risk. She probably didn't want to disclose any information in case anything bad happened.

As someone else already wrote, "mind blown" indeed.

If anyone's questioning whether she can successfully keep her private life private...it seems that nobody knew she ever was pregnant. Good on her. How many people can pull this off???

I hope this "bundle of joy" brings her the happiness she deserves in her life. Even as a fan starved for new music, I'd be perfectly happy if she announced she's taking time off. But if she's been touring this hard for this long...I suspect she doesn't even want to slow down. I wish her the best.

Starting a national tour in February is like...really ambitious. Like whoa.
