Successful surgery for AKB48′s Oshima

On Tuesday, AKB48’s official blog revealed that Team K member Yuko Oshima (20) has just received a successful throat surgery, though the reason for the operation was not fully explained.

The blog post included a picture of Oshima holding up the peace sign while lying in a hospital bed with a respirator. She is said to be back to her normal self with the exception of being unable to speak.

It is unknown when Oshima will return to work. Oshima was also briefly hospitalized last December when she underwent surgery for acute appendicitis.
