Ayaka Suwa, voice of A2, tweeted about the happy news that she recently gave birth to a healthy baby. In the tweet, she mentions that she hopes to return to work soon to deliver more wonder things to all fans. 

Simple translation: I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who’s supported me with kindness and care, both before and after the birth of my child. Your warm encouragement has meant so much, and I truly appreciate everyone who’s been there for me.

Every day is filled with new experiences, and I’m touched by my child’s every movement. As I gradually return to work, I look forward to sharing even more wonderful things with you all! It would mean a lot if you could continue to support and cheer me on.

Thank you for your encouragement. I will keep working hard each day!
