This is a message to everyone who has always supported me.
The other day, on a warm spring day, I gave birth to my first child.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing were all new to me, and I was completely overwhelmed by the fact there was such a world I didn’t know about. But right now, I am filled with gratitude and joy that my child was born safely.
I would like to thank my colleagues in arranging the schedule.
I hope to grow just as much as my child and become a mother I can be proud of!
I look forward to your continued support.
As of press time, Ishikawa has received over 2,000 replies, most of which are congratulations from her fans and colleagues. Notably, fellow voice actor and Attack on Titan cast member Yūki Kaji replied with a simple “Congratulations.”
おめでとう🕊️
