Since Ayana is originally from Osaka, I wonder when she speaks Japanese, she speaks it in Kansai dialect. Meanwhile, as half ethnic Arab, she doesn't speak Arabic. Well, most ethnic Arabs in Indonesia don't speak Arabic. The same way some ethnic Chinese in Indonesia don't speak Chinese.
I dunno mate. @Mikuriin said Ayana's face is more look middle eastern than Japanese. Maybe just like Yuki Sasou, the one who was starred on Pocari's latest CM, Yuki is half Japanese half Iranian. BTW, there was JKT48 4th gen applicant who is half Japanese half Indonesian, she looks Japanese even from some angles, she looks like a top 48 member. Too bad she didn't pass the audition, she returned to Japan later but my friend who has her contact said that she's now in Indonesia. I wonder if she'll apply JKT48 6th gen. Meanwhile, if you know Clarissa Punipun, one of most famous Indonesian cosplayers, she actually has Japanese ancestry beside being an ethnic Chinese. Let's imagine if Punipun were a JKT48 member because when JKT48 was established, Puni was overaged. Well seems Puni doesn't have interest to join JKT48.
That's true, that's because her father is half Arab and Indonesian. If you look at her sister, Sakina she looks more Indonesia-ish than Ayana IMO
Have you seen her brother? He looks Japanese most compared to his sisters. He lives in Japan & studied law.
I have, and that is really true. Strangely, my place has a superstition that daughters will likely resembles their father and sons will resembles mother I know it's not always true, but it happens in our family.
Yeah that's pseudoscience. The half Japanese half Indonesian girl who applied JKT48 4th gen audition whom I told above surely looks like her mother than her father because she looks Japanese than Indonesian. Psst, I have an aspiration to marry a Japanese girl & I hope my daughter will look Japanese. ^^
Japan atmosphere (more specific Osakan?) in this video. The third person off camera speaking Japanese must be Ayana’s mom. Someone comment the takoyakis made by ayana looks messy & the ready to serve is her mom's making. if the video does not show watch the video here
This holidays, Ayana and family are visiting her father’s relative in a city in East Java. In her latest pic there, she and her Osaka-jin Mom Mrs. Emiko Hatoyama is on a “becak”, kind of local rickshaw. I search her mom name in google, Wiki indo says Naomi Hatoyama. I found another article says Emiko Hatoyama. The article also says Ayana family was supporting candidate president Mr. Prabowo lol. I tot jkt membas are into Mister President Jokowi
