i'm pretty sure this is the reason why she kept both things a secret

It's a good thing she's a nobody, otherwise otaku would be frothing at the mouth.

Congrats to Momo and Lettuce! I have some great childhood memories with her, and I'm so happy for her!

AND WHO CARES IF SHE GOT PREGNANT BEFORE MARRIAGE?! It's her own personal choice! Don't call her a slut, dummy!

Before anyone starts to bitch and complain, Never22 is a new user/troll, look at the (ridiculous) post count. Sheesh, the nerve of some people...

OT: Fine announcement is fine...it just came at a random time... Arrow

Marriages (can) take awhile to plan, so I wouldn't be surprised if she got engaged before she fell pregnant.

And even if she only got engaged after she found out she was pregnant, so bloody what? This is the twenty-first century; women should be able to get pregnant out of wedlock without being criticised for it and called a slut. She's thirty-six years old, not an idiot teenager. Leave her be.

I have never heard of Kumi Sakuma before but I am happy for her. She's getting married and will soon be having her first child; good on her, and I wish her luck.

The article doesn't state when she got married. She could have been married for a year now. They keep these things on the QT in Japan. The fact that she is pregnant is probably why we are hearing about it.

Lots of people jumping to conclusions here.

@moderators, please perma-ban never22. Thanks.

You see there's this little grown up concept that's all about accepting others opinions even if you don't agree, so I accept that you immoral swine would gladly get pregnant with your boyfriend of the week and you accept that I find it disgusting.

If you didn't fully grasp that I'm telling you to grow up.


No one has to accept or tolerate idiotic hate-filled blathering from the 1950s.

Good point. She only announced that she had gotten married, but no date was given as to when the ceremony took place.

Female Seiyuu have it rough. The often are afraid of admitting to having a boyfriend or husband for fear of being slammed by their stalkers fans.

Okay, a few things here:

* I am no fan of out-of-wedlock pregnancy myself, but that's largely (though not entirely) because of my religious beliefs, which obviously mean nothing to people who do not share them. Within a religion, commonly-held beliefs come into play, but when dealing with someone on the outside, all I can really say is, "I don't think that's wise or sets a good example." And then they are free to disagree and call me names if they like.

* As someone else pointed out, just because she announced a ceremony doesn't necessarily mean she's not married already. Getting married in Japan is ridiculously easy (all you have to do is file a form with the town office). Sometimes people go ahead and legally marry, then hold the ceremony later. I can think of one NHK anime where a couple did it this way.

* To the soon-to-be-banned gentleman whose opinions I share to a degree...I'm going to give you one posts' worth of the benefit of the doubt that you're not just trolling, and say there's a wrong way even to be right. Calling people names accomplishes nothing but making you (and by extension your argument, and by extension those who agree with your argument) look bad. Also, the Internet is the grand citadel of moral relativism, so charging into a public forum with the assumption of any kind of common-held morality is sort of like Leeroy Jenkins charging in after those eggs alone (search YouTube if you don't get the reference).

And you're also going to accept that going around calling fellow posters "immoral swine" - as well as using provocatively inappropriate language - is what just got you Moderated and all your posts in this thread either edited or removed. (For others, a few related posts that were just responding to his comments were also removed.) Call it "censorship" if you want, but we don't tolerate that kind of behavior around here.
