The story
Former ANGERME member Wakana Matsumoto reported on her blog that she visited ‘Tabekko Doubutsu MIRAI LAB.’ with fellow former member Yukie Kawamura. Photos showed Matsumoto wearing clothes that appeared to be hand-me-downs from Kawamura, and on 5ch, comments like “guess she’s just casually naming Kawamura now” reflected surprise at the shift — Kawamura had reportedly asked fans not to name her publicly after leaving the group. Meanwhile, plenty of speculation also circulated about how the friendship started and what Kawamura’s been up to lately.
Sounds like they hang out pretty often

What people said
Setting something up?
She's already named in the Australia vlog, so hiding it here would be weird anyway
At Hashisako's age, retiring would still leave plenty of options
Stay-at-home wife
Yep, case closed
>They give you these glasses when you arrive, and putting them on makes every light look like the little lion mascot — it was amazing!!! 😳🦁
>How does that even work…
>The photo's me looking stunned and going full party mode lol
The result of wanting to see Wakanya's happy face and just losing all restraint
Re: #19
I don't really get the impression Kawamu and Suzu-chan are close outside of work
I love that Wakanya is wearing Kamu-chan's hand-me-downs
Ise suddenly started showing off her connection to 🐭 too
👶🏻: Not a kid, thank you very much!
Both Mi-ko and Rikako are totally ignoring it though…😢
Whoa, that's a dead ringer
Just compatible personalities or something?
Probably because she's the calm, level-headed one in ANGERME?
Background and Key Points
‘Tabekko Doubutsu’ is Cabaya Foods’ brand of animal-shaped biscuits, and ‘MIRAI LAB.’ is a limited-time fan experience facility built around it. Yukie Kawamura, the former member who came up in the thread, reportedly asked fans not to name her even if they spotted her when she left ANGERME — which is why it came as a surprise that her junior, Wakana Matsumoto, is now openly sharing their friendship. That said, much of what’s discussed in the thread — whether Kawamura is married, how the friendship started, and so on — is speculation from posters rather than anything confirmed by Kawamura or those involved. Fans also picked apart the blog photos for clues, like tracing the outfit back to its owner.
