Higashide Masahiro & An welcome the arrival of their twin girls

Higashide Masahiro and An announced the arrival of their twin baby girls through a joint statement released by her agency on 16 May. In the statement, they revealed that the babies were born a bit earlier than the expected due date but both mother and daughters are doing well. However, they did not reveal the birth date nor the weight of the babies. They pledged to become parents who their children would not be ashamed of and asked for the advice and guidance of everyone around them as they try their best to raise their children.

Meanwhile, An's father Watanabe Ken also posted on his Twitter that he received news of his grand-daughters' arrival and are glad to know that they are all doing well. Although the babies will be spending some time in the hospital for now and be discharged later, he hopes that the new parents will be able to spend some quiet and peaceful days with their babies from now on. He also revealed that he is eagerly anticipating to see how his daughter and son-in-law would be as parents and said that Higashide seemed to be quite panicky since the babies arrived earlier than expected.
