In 2009, she was voted second popular and lost to Atsuko Maeda. In 2010, she was voted the most popular member of the group, in a poll for which members fans want to appear on the group's single "Heavy Rotation".

During the 2012 fourth senbatsu election, she placed first with 108,837 votes and became the new center of AKB48.

In 2005, she began working as a junior idol in the short lived idol project Doll's Vox, produced by The Alfee vocalist Toshihiko Takamizawa. In 2006, at the AKB48's second audition to form Team K, Oshima was selected as one of 17 successful applicants, out of a pool of 12,000 applications. In April, she began working full-time with the group, and featured on the group's first single with DefStar Records, "Aitakatta", in October 2006.
