Former AKB48 member Mai Oshima (23) is now a regular on TV Asahi’s sports program “GET SPORTS” (Sunday nights, 12:30am). Starting on September 26, she will be in charge of a new segment called “Karada no Kyoukasho” (“The Body’s Textbook”), in which she presents the training regimen of a top-class athlete.
Each time, Oshima and one of the show’s hosts, Kiyotaka Nanbara (45), will attempt the same training, under the guidance of a professional trainer. They will also explore questions such as which part of the body the training affects, and why athletes have adopted that training. This is Oshima’s first regular role on an actual sports program. She commented that she was worried that her appearance on the show will cause the show’s image to change, but her sports background should be a good fit. Oshima used to play volleyball in junior high and has run a marathon twice.
