This is unfortunate for me. I really enjoy her in her dramas. I hope she is happy with her family.
It's okay, just like Narimiya she has long list of drama and movie under her name so there always something to watch when we miss her.
Wish her a happy and peacefull life for her onward.

This is sad news, I love the Horikita Maki days from 2005-2007, they were fun times.
I can understand her, she's always been very private and I guess she wants time to be a mother now as the baby is still so small.
But interestingly I don't think she used the word intai suru but more distancing myself from acting.
Some in the J-ent business are thinking that she'll do comeback after things have settled down and debut under her husbands management company.
It's known that her relationship with SP wasn't so very good these past maybe 2 years.
She can do a comeback and use her own name Hara Marina.
