Last year over the summer it was revealed that former AKB48 ace Atsuko Maeda and actor husband Ryo Katsuji had gotten married! Shortly after, news that Atsuko was pregnant with her first child started to make the rounds.

On March 4th Ryo confirmed to the world that the couple had welcomed a baby boy. He shared the news on his official Instagram account, accompanied by a cute card of the family in squirrel form.

A shocking (to some) announcement was made by soon-to-be former AKB48 member Juri Takahashi. She has decided to graduate from the group, and will debut in South Korea.

Juri recently participated in the m-net reality show “Produce 48”, winners of the show went on to form the group IZ*ONE. She really wanted to debut in Korea and managed to make the top 20, but unfortunately for her she didn’t make the final cut.

In a statement Juri revealed that after not making the IZ*ONE lineup, she began talks with a Korean agency and made this decision on her own. Juri will be a member of an upcoming girl group under Woollim Entertainment, home to the boy group INFINITE and girl group Lovelyz.
