Singer Kumi Koda makes her return to show business this week three months after giving birth to a baby boy in July. Koda, 29, will appear in a sexy pose on the cover of ViVi magazine which goes on sale Tuesday.

In the magazine interview, Koda talks about married life, her pregnancy and how she is enjoying being a mother.

Koda, who is married to 28-year-old Back-On guitarist Kenji03, earlier announced her intention to return to the stage in November in a tour that will include seven performances in four cities and is expected to attract around 62,000 spectators.

The Nov 13 concert will be both Koda’s first ever show at Budokan in Tokyo and the first time she has performed on her birthday, at which she will celebrate turning 30 in the company of her fans.

Koda is scheduled to play at Osaka Castle Hall on Nov 7 and 8, followed by Tokyo’s Budokan on Nov 13 and 14, Nagoya’s Nippon Gaishi Hall on Nov 20 and 21 and then the Shimin Bunka Center in Koriyama, Fukushima on Nov 27.

Koda will also release a new single, "Go to the Top," on Wednesday and will perform it on TV Asahi's "Music Station" program on Friday.

Wow, I guess having children does something to a Japanese woman because she looks hotter than before. Damn, she is a beautiful mommy.

Oh! I can't wait! Such an amazing woman. I still wanna know what their baby boy looks like, though. xD With the sexy looks of Koda Kumi and cute looks of Kenji, that's gonna be one cute baby.

Plus, she's doing a performance at Music Station the same day her single drops, so it'll be her first return to the stage since the pregnancy. SO. MUCH. EXCITEMENT/

So, while her 3 month old son is crying pleading for his mother's attention she's out showing off her body to the world.

My mom didn't do that and I'm glad she didn't, I thank her for choosing to be with me instead.

Welcome back Koda Kumi :)

NeverSubmit/ if the baby needs to be fed I'm sure she will feed it. Also a baby at three months old needs to be fed every six hours or so. Therefore I'm sure she has time to do what she needs to do. My only concern is privacy for he and the baby. Being around so many people and having the baby present at public outings may not be good for the baby, especially now that it is getting cold.

Just because your mom was happy to stay home doesn't mean every other women is. The women two doors down from me is a SAHM and her little baby screams all day and all night... Staying home doesn't make mom a good mother as much as you seem to like to think it does.

Good for you Koda is this is what you want to do. It seems it is so well done. An inspiration to other moms out there who want to return to work after having a baby,

Only 3 months!? She should take a year. The child is more important.

I haven't seen Koda in live concert since 05' and wow she still looks good assuming this pic is fairly recent. wOw!!

Black hair would be more sexy. Professional photography and one smoking hot babe.

Koda Kumi has enough money even if she doesnt work for ten years or so. This is the most important time when baby needs his/her parents to cuddle, to love him. Oh.. she is a star and stardom is more important than baby....she could give a year to baby if her fans are really loyal, but she may be so worried of her Diva status! After some time when she is no more a Diva and will be replaced by another teenage girl then she may realize that she should have spent more time with family.

The Japanese are very different from us. A mother won't just dump her baby off on someone. She will take care of the baby, why do people think she won't? Besides. Koda Kumi's been around for over a decade. Her status has been made and can never be ruined. So it's not for that - she's showing her thanks to her fans. And who knows! While she's away, Kenji's probably going to take care of the child and vice versa. It's stupid to think that she'll neglect her child.

Don't know what her voice is like but she has a nice pair pf breasts. If you're going to use photos like this as promotion, well....

I am very happy for her and am glad she is making her money.

What I want to know is how celebrities can have their babies and be back to pre-pregnancy size in a couple of months while the average Jane takes about a year or so to get her body back to pre-pregnancy state WITH NO poouch tummy hanging out. Me thinks celebrities have secret surgeries or hire fantastic personal trainers to which regular people don't hv access to the special exercises they use.
