<p> More good news for Hiroyuki Ariyoshi, 49, who closed out the year of 2011 on a high note by hosting the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen on New Year&#8217;s Eve.</p>
<p> His wife, former NTV announcer Miku Natsume (39), is pregnant with their first child. According to &#8220;Spoichi Annex,&#8221; which reported the first news, Natsume is currently in a stable period and is expecting a baby this spring. In response to the paper&#8217;s inquiry, Ariyoshi&#8217;s agency did not deny the news, saying, &#8220;We do not give answers regarding private matters.</p>

<p> In early December 2011, &#8220;FRIDAY&#8221; reported in its December 29, 2011 issue that Natsume was seen walking with her dog near her home. There,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Natsume was wearing fashionable glasses and walking her dog, a toy poodle, in the area, which has long been an upscale residential area. Ms. Natsume looked somehow plump around the belly.</span></p>
<p> said a neighbor. This probably means that she was already pregnant at that time. FRIDAY&#8221; had also spotted Natsume in early September 2011, three months before this time, looking very happy.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> She was seen in a corner of an upscale residential area in the heart of Tokyo. On that extremely hot day, Natsume was wearing an aloha shirt and loose-fitting pants, chatting and laughing with a woman who appeared to be a friend. Natsume was in a very good mood as she did a thumbs-up &#8220;goo! Natsume was in a great mood and her happiness was evident on her face.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Natsume has only appeared once on &#8220;Matsuko &amp; Ariyoshi Karesome Tengoku&#8221; (TV Asahi) since her marriage, and since then she has not appeared in the media at all. It is said that this was to provide dedicated support for Ariyoshi, who is extremely busy.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Ariyoshi has said since he was in his 30s, before his marriage to Natsume, that he wanted to have children someday. I think he will continue to support his family.</span></p>
<p> With her success as Kohaku host, Ariyoshi is expected to be even busier in the future. There is no doubt that 2012 will be a great year for both of them.</p>
