It's been reported that Koda Kumi has canceled her nationwide tour, "Koda Kumi Live Tour 2012".

After careful discussions with the staff, Koda felt that she wouldn't be able to give fans a 100% performance, and so she decided to cancel the tour.

"To everyone who was looking forward to the tour, I'm very sorry," Koda apologized. To make up for the tour, Koda has announced that she will be holding her first birthday live next fall. Details regarding this concert will be announced at a later date.

On her official website, she wrote:

"'JAPONESQUE' is an album filled with songs I made with love. With that, I had so many ideas to surprise everyone for next year's tour.

However, I'm very sorry that because of my condition, I won't be able to give a 100% performance. And so, I have decided to cancel next year's tour.

To everyone who was looking forward to the tour, I'm very sorry.

I don't think this will make up for the tour, but I want to see everyone as soon as possible, so I will be holding my first Birthday Anniversary Live in fall of 2012. At that time, I will turn 30, and it's a day I feel I should celebrate, so I will be happy if I can welcome it with everybody. I'm worried that I won't be able to fit into my costume since it will be after childbirth, but please watch over me warmly.

When the details have been determined, we will report it to everyone as soon as possible.

After safely giving birth, I'm looking forward to the day I will get to see everyone.

With all my love."
