At last, the first major Nogizaka46 scandal!
The idol group’s Sayuri Matsumura has been snapped kissing a man. But unlike her peers in AKB48 who tend to have affairs with their managers or with their otaku fans, Sayuri has opted for a guy in his thirties already married with a kid!
The tabloid Shukan Bungei ran the photos this week showing Sayuri on the street in the arms of the man.
Way to piss off your management, “betray” your fans, AND play up to the fantasies of older male admirers all at the same time, Sayuri!
The 22-year-old Sayuri has tearfully apologized but we wait to see what punishment she gets.
Her excuse was that she got drunk — shocking behavior for an idol! — proving that the old tactics are still the best.
In the picture you can clearly see the guy holding down her arms, which is a nice touch.
Apparently this wasn’t the pair’s first date and they spent a loving day doing karaoke. Let’s hope that Sayuri isn’t forced to shave her head and that her agency doesn’t sue her.
