Personal life

In September 2013, gossip magazine Josei Jishin published an article that linked Kodama romantically with singer Ringo Sheena and stating that Sheena has secretly given birth to his first and Sheena's second child.[3] Sheena addressed these rumours publicly during her Tōtaikai concerts in November 2013, announcing that she gave birth in spring of 2013 to a daughter. As this was close to the release of her single "Irohanihoheto/Kodoku no Akatsuki," she did not feel it was appropriate to link the birth of their daughter with her single promotions, so she decided not to announce it at the time.[4] The footage of her announcement was released on her Tōtaikai DVD in March 2014.

I was gifted my hearts desire, a little girl, who's currently nursing. I'm very sorry. However, I didn't say anything at the time because the release of my baby, and the release of my new single were amazingly scheduled for the same time. I was worried about having a long-awaited brand new life unexpectedly tangled up with her parents' publicity for work..
