Hasegawa, who announced her marriage last year, shared that she was very happy to be expecting her first child and she had always dreamed of having a baby. Because of her pregnancy, she also announced that she is taking a break from appearing in events despite also announcing that she is already in her safe period. She apologized to her fans who were expecting to see her on stage. This will also mean that she might not be appearing in this year’s THE IDOLM@STER M@STERS OF IDOL WORLD !! 2015 concert, which was just announced earlier this week. Her marriage was announced in last year’s M@STERS OF IDOL WORLD !! concert
