The story
On November 2, former AKB48 member Yuki Kashiwagi (35) posted on her X (formerly Twitter) account that while walking through a wide corridor at a train station, a woman in her 30s who looked like a career woman said to her with a straight face, “Walk faster! You idiot!” The post sparked discussion online. Kashiwagi shared the experience with evident surprise, but on a 5ch Entertainment/Sports Express+ thread, reactions split between skepticism (“Does anyone really say that?”) and acceptance (“If someone’s weird enough, they’d say it without hesitation”). The discussion even expanded to questions about consistency given the alleged offender’s age versus Kashiwagi’s own age (35), as well as a broader debate on walking-speed etiquette.

What people said
Sounds fake.
I've been riding packed trains since elementary school and I've never once seen anyone get talked to like that.
She probably got coached by some director to spice up the story.
It's plausible. If someone's a weirdo, they'll say stuff like that without a second thought.
like 'aho bokekasu' (idiot, moron).
everyone around was holding back laughter.
that's on you, Kashiwagi.
and now she's just another nobody riding the train (╥﹏╥)
I have to dodge people who keep cutting across after I've already swerved around them, just to get anywhere.
And heading into your 40s, no less.
It's usually women too, who stop dead right in front of the ticket gate to dig out their pass or phone.
hard to say without knowing the full situation.
I often get middle-aged women (BBA) asking me which product is better,
so when a woman in her 30s seemed to be talking to me again (?),
turns out she was actually on a hands-free call with earphones in.
Lesson learned: if you don't want complaints, just pretend you're already on a call.
Background and key points of this discussion
Since leaving AKB48, Yuki Kashiwagi has continued her solo career with TV appearances and social media activity, and this latest post spread in the same way — as a personal anecdote shared on her own X account. On the 5ch thread, opinion split sharply between those doubting whether the story was true and those arguing that ‘a weird person could well say something like that.’ It’s also notable that the discussion expanded to note that the alleged ’30-something woman’ would be roughly the same age as Kashiwagi herself (35), and broadened further into a general debate over walking etiquette in station corridors. It’s worth keeping in mind that this account is based solely on Kashiwagi’s own social media post, and the article presents no indication that any third party verified the exchange — so the truth of the story is ultimately left to the reader’s judgment.
