K: Very soonc.I have discussed it with the members because we still have the concert and I had wanted to announce it at the end of the concert tour. Actually, I would have liked to announce it by myself but with the news announcement todayc.I thought if I didn't explain it clearly, it would be impolite to the fans who come to the concert today, so I have decided to hold this press conference.
R: How did you feel when Shizuka Kudo tell you?
K: Very happy.
R: When did she tell you?
K: When? Rather early on.
R: After she told you, what did you say?
K trying to remember: OhcWhat did I say? what did I saycOhcIt's a bit inappropriate to say it here.
Reporters laughed.
R: So you plan to get married then?
K: We have decided before that.
R: What did you feel at that time?
K: I was a bit shocked but very happy.
R: You have told other members?
K: Yes.
R: They were shocked too while watching the news?
K: Yes. I also talked to them about the content of the newspaper report.
R: When did you tell them?
K: At the concert.
R: What did they say?
K: They were all shocked.
R: Did Miss Shizuka say that if she gets pregnant, you would marry? Is that an agreement?
K: No, it's not because she is pregnant. It's that we would get married.
R: So you mean to say you plan to get married but suddenly she is pregnang?
K: No. It didn't happen suddenlyc.if it could develop smoothlycthis is a bit difficult. I don't know how to express it. But then since she is pregnant, soc.
R: So if she has not become pregnant suddenly, when would you both marry?
K thinking: Ohc.
R: Have you proposed to her earlier?
K: Already proposed.
R: When was it?
K thought for a while: This yearc.when summer started.

K feeling shy and laughed a bit: It's embarrassing to tell.
Reporter laughed.

K: feelingc.I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure.

K: She said, "Have it." (That's the Asian way of saying I'm pregnant.)
R: Did you go to the hospital with her for checkup? (The news reported that Shizuka went for checkup on October 29.)
K: At that time I had work scheduled.
R: Would you register within the year?
K: Very sooncit's that feeling.
R: You would register very soon. Then have you decided on the wedding ceremony?
K: We haven't considered it yet.
R: Haven't consider it? Would you hold a wedding?
K: We of course would not omit the ceremony. It's just that we haven't consider it yet.
R: Today's concert, I know that you wanted to announce it to your fans. How do you think they feel judging their behavior?
K: Yes, when I was singing lion heart (webmaster's note: lion heart's Kimura solo portion has the following words – you would definitely meet too, like I and your mother.) It's not that everyone is looking at mecit's just that it is even more soc.I felt that even more people were paying attention to mecI feel I was questioning how I should do it. I felt very nervous. But the other members must equally feel so tooc.they were by my side. So I felt I have the strength. Even though before the concert I was very nervous, but when the concert started, I felt very grateful to all the members and the fans in front of me. They gave me courage.
R: When you sang the song lion heart, I see your happy expressionc
K: Ahcyou watched the concert too?
R: (lion heart lyrics) "To protect you, I was born on this world." cDoes it feel true to you now?
K: Yes, like that.
R: Then you would be like in the song, telling your child how his father and mother met?
K: I believe almost everyone would do soc.
R: You have not announced it to the fans in the concert?
K: That's right, I did not today.
R: After your marriage, would your life and thinking change?
K: No. As for our attitude, it would be like now. Whether it is SMAP activities or on my own, it would not chance. Just like before we would work hard.
