Nogizaka46's Matsumura Sayuri apologizes for her love scandal with a married family manLINKS
October 9, 2014
On October 8, Nogizaka46's Matsumura Sayuri (22) made a live appearance on radio program "RECOMMEN!"
On the same day, Shukan Bunshun reported that Matsumura went on a date in mid-September with a married family man in his thirties; the photos showed the pair kissing on the street. It also reported that the duo kept going on dates after that.
Matsumura cried as she apologized with, "I caused trouble by taking such a careless action." She said that she was not acquainted with the man previously and that she had been invited to a meal while she was walking down the street.
As she did not know that he was married, she also did not inform him of her background. She explained that, "On the day that the photos were taken, I was extremely distressed and I got really drunk, which is out of the ordinary for me. I can't believe how stupid I was."
Matsumura is a popular member of the group and she has been a part of all of the group's singles. This is the first love scandal for the group, which is considered as innocent and pure.

Doesn't sound like a "love scandal" at all.That's funny. :lol:
I can believe she was drunk, otherwise I don't think she'd be so stupid to kiss anyone in public.Being drunk the first time might have been believable, IF she had only gone out with the guy one time. However, how do you explain the fact that she admitted to going on multiple dates with the guy? The Shunkan Bunshun article mentions they reportedly went out on at least 3 dates within a 3 week period, and who knows if the two of them went out on dates where they just didn't get noticed/caught? She couldn't have been drunk during every single date. Safe to say that she was at least careless, but under the circumstances, you cannot objectively look at this situation and honestly say that, especially after going out with the guy for (at least) a second and third date AND getting caught kissing him, that she didn't like him/have feelings for him nor can you say that she did not know what she was doing. She took a chance, and she's gotten caught. How she and her management/producers deal with it from here on out will be the thing to see.
But public drunkenness/smoking in public is usually as big a faux-pas for idols.
Nogizaka46 Idol Sayuri Matsumura Wants to be a Voice Actress
Already boasting her voice talents as an idol, Nogizaka46 member Sayuri Matsumura wants to lend her voice to anime.
In a recent interview for women's life Japanese news source "Woman Insight", Matsumura expressed her interest in becoming a voice actress.
"I'd like to become a voice actress for anime," she said. "But I've realized how difficult it can be. I'm still growing used to the job I have now and am still putting a lot of effort into that. I feel like I could get the hang of it, but there are a lot of people in the industry that are still struggling. Thinking about wanting to do it is very different from actually doing it."
Evidently, she's had this desire since the beginning of her idol career.
"About one or two years after I became an idol, I really thought about becoming a voice actress. But now it's five years later and it seems a little less possible after being an idol for so long."
