Yui, who is also the lead vocalist and guitarist for the band, FLOWER FLOWER, made this surprise announcement. She gave a special message to her fans, which also mentioned her health as she often suffers from panic attacks:

My partner is someone outside of the industry. In addition, I have been blessed with a new life inside of my stomach. I think there were quite a few people who were worried about me, but I couldn’t find the chance to convey my current condition. I want to say thank you as well to the band members who cared about me even though I couldn’t perform as I wanted due to illness… I still have worries about my health, but I’d like to do my best while being careful of my condition. I’d be very happy if everyone would watch over and protect me with warm eyes.
