Kashii Yui pregnant with her second child; gives up her role in "Kurokochi" to Ashina Sei

Odagiri Jo and his wife Kashii Yui are expecting their second child as reported on 30 October. The couple who got married in February 2008, had their first son in early 2011. Kashii is currently five months' pregnant and has been suffering from serious morning sickness since the middle of this month. Although she was involved in the filming of TBS autumn drama "Kurokochi" since 27 September, she was absent from the drama's press conference on 3 October due to the morning sickness which had lasted much longer than expected. In view of her condition, Kashii had no choice but to give up her role in the drama even though she has finished filming for her scenes up to the 3rd episode. Kashii's role in the drama will now be played by Ashina Sei.
