Public figure are not limited to Politician, it also menas Seiyuu, Idol and Artist, even to athelete. As I said it is just one of the few common excuse used, the other is like you said "studying abroad" and finally "family circumstances", those kind of excuse are the most widely accepted and widely forgiven in Japanese society even if it wasn't true, and it is arleady driven into their culture to not pry further to the issue.

Politician turnout in Japan are so high simple resignation have negligible effect on everything, as long as it's not that huge of scandal usually it'll be just everyday scenery and the impact are hardly there. The job with the highest stake for a temporary leave is actually Mangaka, usually few weeks hiatus will severely affect it's ranking and therefore it'll risk being cancelled. For job like Singer and Seiyuu especially the named one, losing job or fame are close to no worry. Especially someone on fast track to fame like Taneda.

Whatever the reason is as I said are no matter. If she need a break then she could take a break with whatever excuse. However I'm skeptic by nature therefore I won't take it the excuse by face value, that's all. If she's truly ill then I hope she recover soon, if it's due to stress then she can enjoy her break. Whatever the reason is it had nothing to do with me nor will change the circumstances afterall..
