Japanese pop sensation Aimer, known for her captivating anime theme songs, is celebrating her 15th anniversary by dropping some major news! On the 7th, she took to X to announce the safe arrival of her first child.

But that's not all! She also revealed her departure from her long-time management agency. Moving forward, Aimer will be embarking on an exciting new chapter, establishing a new management company with her husband, music producer Masahiro Tobinai, to continue her musical journey independently.

Aimer shared a handwritten statement on X, starting with "To everyone dear to me." She wrote, "While this is a personal matter, I wanted to share it directly with all of you who have always supported me. I am delighted to announce that I have safely given birth to my first child."

She confirmed that "both mother and child are healthy and well." Reflecting on becoming a parent, Aimer shared her feelings: "As I welcome this new life, I've been thinking even more deeply about the responsibility I have for my life choices. I hope to become a more mature version of myself, follow my heart, and further deepen my artistic expression."

To create an environment where she can fully realize this vision, she made the decision to leave her long-standing management agency. Aimer stated, "Therefore, to build such an environment for myself, I have decided to leave agehasprings Inc. (株式会社agehasprings), which has supported me for many years, and establish a new management company with composer Masahiro Tobinai. From now on, I will continue my musical activities independently."

Finally, she expressed her gratitude to everyone who has supported her, saying, "With gratitude to everyone who has been with me every step of the way, I will continue to sing more honestly and as always."

She also reached out to her fans, adding, "If you would be willing to continue this long musical journey with me, I would truly be happy from the bottom of my heart. I also have news about my future activities coming very soon. It would make me incredibly happy if these feelings could reach you."

Coinciding with her 15th anniversary, she also announced upcoming concerts, a brand-new fan club called "NIGHT OWLS," and a teaser for a new album set to drop next year.

She also thanked all her fans for their unwavering support, stating that there's a long musical journey ahead and she hopes everyone will witness her future self.

Fans had noticed Aimer's reduced public appearances and quieter activities since late last year, and now they understand why, with the announcement of her first child. With concert and album news also on the horizon, fans are undoubtedly more excited than ever for Aimer's musical future.
