On June 13th, AKB48�s Oshima Yuko paid a visit to the Tokyo Horse Riding Club in Shibuya to attend an event for the American animated film �Brave�.

Oshima was in charge of dubbing the Japanese voice for the movie�s main character Merida. Merida can be seen dashing through the forest on horseback in the film, so to connect herself with the scene, Oshima herself rode a pony. When Oshima was 12-years-old, she participated in a farm stay to learn how to ride horses. �I love horses,� Oshima said happily. �It�s exciting, it�s been about four years since I�ve ridden a horse!�

On the 6th, when Oshima took first place in AKB48�s Senbatsu General Election for the second time, she commented, �I wanted to see this scenery (from first place) one more time.� She was questioned by the press, �Which is better? The scenery from a horse or the scenery from the number one spot?� She responded, �They�re both great.�
