I, Amuro Namie got married with SAM-san, and my new name is MARUYAMA NAMIE.
I’m sorry to be late to let you know because I myself was surprised at my surroundings’ fevered responses. That’s why I announced our marriage on the press interview.
Baby is coming in June.
I don’t feel real in being mother yet, but I’m not nervous to have a baby. I really believe we can overcome whatever happens.
I will have a rest next year.
How can I explain my thankfulness to my fans who allowed my selfishness?
I will make myself happy.
And please support me when I’m back in the music business.

Amuro Namie
