I think her name is Okti...with a K,not Octi She might be JKT's version of Shihorin Edit: sorry it's Okta
the translation for the 3rd gen announcement vid. Only script form though. sorry... For Bahasa Indonesia speaking fans feel free to give input or add anything that I might miss out on the translation. Spoiler Female Host : Next story—after their success with the 2nd generation, now JKT48 is officially introducing their 3rd generation members. Here’s the news. Caption : -- JKT48 Officially Announce the 3rd Generation Members-- Narrator : After the long wait finally the idol group JKT48 announced 32 female teenagers to be their 3rd generation members. The selected finalists are between 13 to 18 years of age. Next they will have dance and vocal trainings which will last for 5 weeks as a preparation for the final stage audition. Pride and joy are felt by the selected members. Michelle : I am really happy. I joined the 2nd generation (audition) but didn’t make because I wasn’t old enough (to pass the age requirement). I tried (the audition) again for the 3rd generation and I got the phone call… and then I was auditioned… This time I made it—the final audition. And then the quarantine period started. (During that period) we practiced dancing, singing…. We practiced all the time. And then today I called—I was chosen to be the member of JKT48.. the 3rd generation member. Caption : --Did Not Expect to be Chosen-- Michelle : The waiting process took around 5 months. Sofia : Umm… very happy. I never expected it. Ever since the very beginning up until now… turned out I’m in. I am really happy. Caption : --What kind of training have you done so far?— Sofia : Quite—umm… the training were… rather rigorous. All the training… basically—you see—took a lot of effort (to do). Narrator : Not wanting to be considered as a copycat of their seniors the selected finalists determined to be even better (than their seniors). Michelle : I want the 3rd generation to be much better, to keep moving forward,… Sofia : To (be able to) surpass… to surpass the 1st and 2nd generation if we can. I deliberately did not put the translation of the two hosts' comments at the end since it's just so... My guess is they don't know much about 48G and they just talk whatever and force-relate it with the news to fill the talking time slot.
@GorinGo Great job on the translation... Have JOT finally found a decent photographer??? Those 3rd gen members looked so great!!! Unlike their seniors when they are still Kenkyuuseis...
^^ A big thanks for the translation GorinGo These pictures are amazing! And their stats are now available... Okta the tall 3rd gen. mentioned above... is 170cm. That's the tallest within JKT! Rena is 167cm, Shan 166cm and Ve 165cm. She was also born in '99! She turns 14 15 in October. Michelle... actually a little taller than I first thought, I thought she was going to be magical "148cm" with the amount of attention and push she's getting... but she's actually 152cm. And 152cm I just thought to look up... Melody's height lol
170???? Then she's the second tallest member in the whole 48 group! Only 1 cm below Shihorin Maybe Melody and Michelle does have a lot in common huh? Wait,that's Milenia's profile link...
I think the tallest within all of the '48 is SKE48's Ogino Risa (175-6cm), and don't forget that Tanaka Natsumi lied on her profile to appear shorter, she's 172cm or something and still growing. Okta might get taller still too, possibly... I'm not sure. I don't completely buy into "Michelle is another Melody"... but I think it's interesting and a good way to get to know a member, what are their similarities, what are their differences. Same height... same blood type (O). Three names? Female siblings? Not sure if Melo is into Jpop? 7 year age difference. --- Looking at the profile of the other girls... Glad Milenia decided on "Milen" as a nickname rather than what she was using "Eien" as a finalist.
Awww... thank you zakky san. Glad to be of assistance kurisu san. I'll try and translate some more whenever I have time. Especially ones that I think noteworthy. Do give suggestions on what I should translate, please and I'll do my best to translate them. For the 3rd generation I have always been eye-ing Ni Made Ayu Vania (Aurel) lia ever since the beginning. When I first saw the girls' first photos she just stood out in my eyes. And I love her skin complexion. I've been expecting girls from eastern part of Indonesia to make it in and give more color to the line up
Everyone forgets about SNH xD SNH48 members are averagely height around 160 cm Wu ZheHan is 174cm tall
Oops, yup, forgot about SNH48 for a second They have to be the tallest within the '48s on average... I remember reading that Chen Guanhui, at 160cm... is the shortest member of SNH's 1st gen. 160cm is Ghaida's height! Ghaida looks tall and seemingly towers over a few girls, like Naomi, but it's all relative because Naomi is short. Sae and Sayaka too, were known as the "Twin Towers" and they're both only 164-167cm. -- Some stats about the 3rd Gen [EDITED] - Oldest: Anggie and Chika, both are 18. Elaine, Farin, Tya and Desy are also all born in 1996, and are 17-turning-18. Youngest: Kei... turned 13 in January and is the only member born in 2001. Currently Angel, Stefi and Zebi all 13 and will turn 14 sometime this year. And Milen, Nina and Sisca were born in 2000 as well, but have already turned 14. Tallest: Desy, Okta and Nina, all 170cm. Shortest: Cia, 150cm Other things I noticed: Special birthdays: 25 December (Desy) Most common star sign: Pisces (9) Most common blood type: O (16)
speaking of body height, i think Rena is still the tallest at JKT (she still not fully transferred to akb right?). 167cm was measured 2 years ago when the group firstly formed. after 2 years of physical training and performing on various show, it will surely grow taller. just take a look at rock-paper-scissor game against haruna. haruna is one of the tallest on akb, but Rena seems dwarfed her even when haruna wears a heeled boot Yamada-san is surely always ahead. he is literally everywhere!
[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19ea_Dxv_8A[/yt] They're both wearing heels...and just looking from the footage it seems that her heels are slightly higher...
So after the audition...Nadhifa and Andela suddenly become more popular...it's not all bout Michelle anymore...and i wonder when official will start to include them in the sousenkyo...?
^^ Hopefully JOT have already filmed their campaign videos. If someone has a really interesting or unique talent, that could drum up interest and start a fan campaign. Not sure what that talent would be though...... original singer songwriter?
Looking forward for 3rd Generation Video Campaign. Haha. The preview from their members profile page and sousenkyo poster looks good. Andela Sousenkyo Poster Campaign:
Hopefully soon...... What are their Twitter accounts even going to look like???? They can't do: @memberJKT48, @member_JKT48...
Maybe like this--> @_memberJKT48 remember when the 2nd gen first got their twitter account?? It's like they can't stop tweeting...flooding your timeline...
