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.
