A lot of guys have no doubt fantasized about hugging AKB48 singer Yuko Oshima. Well, they can now do the next best thing — hug her waxwork figure at Madame Tussauds Tokyo at Odaiba.

On Oct 19, Oshima’s waxwork figure joined some 20 other celebrities at the famous museum. When Oshima saw her figure for the first time, she was surprised and said: “It freaks me out that there is another me.”

After hugging her figure, she said “I shakes hands with fans at AKB48 events but there is no opportunity to hug them. So here, fans can at least give my figure a hug.”

After having her photo taken with Johnny Depp, Oshima said “I know it’s just a figure, but it seems like I’m close to real celebrities, so I get nervous.”
