It's All Starts and Ends with Tears

Spoiler

Idol Group "AKB48" was born in Akihabara, Tokyo. At their first start, they were a small idol group with the concept of "Idol You Can Meet Everyday" but now had evolved into an Idol Group that represent Japan and holds concert all around the world.

This ever evolving idol group now have 4 groups, AKB48 which holds their theater at Akihabara, SKE48 in Sakae, Nagoya, NMB48 in Namba, Osaka; and "HKT48" from Hakata, Fukuoka.

And then now, the first AKB48 overseas sister had born, JKT48 which based themselves on Jakarta. Started on November 2011, JKT48 in a blink of an eye have appeared on various medias such as CM, Television Show, Newspapers, and Magazines. Now their name is not known only in Jakarta, but now have been recognized as an Idol Group with national scale in Indonesia.

The rapidly growing JKT48 at last could do their first theater debut on Nyi Ageng Serang, Pasar Festival, Kuningan Jakarta Selatan at May, 17th for 4 full days!!

This theater have a big purpose. "Idol You Can Meet Everyday" means that we could meet JKT48 members everyday through the Theater. Not only via Television Show or any other medias, we as fans could also participated building the stage in the theater along with JKT48 through their singing, dancing, words, laughter and sometimes tears.... To feel every of their movements and their growth from close. This concept is the reason why AKB48 loved by the whole world, and the objective JKT48 would like to reach.

But, the road to their debut theater is not easy. The set-list chosen for their performance is "Pajama Drive" that originally performed by Team B from AKB48 circa 2008. Composed with 16 songs, Pajama Drive set-list was a hit in Japan and keep being performed for a year.

JKT48 members got to master the set-list contents in just a mere one and a half month. The already tight schedule for each members makes practice session often without complete members. Added with the fact that most of the members were still studying in school or university, they have to keep practicing until late midnight to complete their obligation.

But, All the girls still trying with all their might to prepare for their "First Day Theater" that will come soon or later. With the hope that someday, somewhere they could practicing with full members, JKT48 members were practicing using wall and mirror and do some on stage simulation using mineral water bottles for microphone that they will hold later.

After the never ending strenuous drills, that important day comes. "First Day Theater" is the first stage that they will never ever repeated again even though they will do the same performance set-list for thousands, even millions of times.

Could they dance well ? Could they do the MC session smoothly ?

Full of hope and worries, May, 16th has come, one day before their performance. That day the will do some rehearsal, and tomorrow, they will face their fans on stage!!

But..
That day starts and ends with tears.

This account was based on the exclusive reporting with the JKT48 members for 5 days, starts from their rehearsal on May, 16th to May, 20th behind the stage. Let's feel their growth together bit by bit through this account.

Look, the 24 angels had come in front of you! Are you READY ?

~The Last Rehearsal~

Spoiler

The rehearsal that ended with tears of sadness. Will the stage curtain for the first theater performance open for them?

6 months after the formation of JKT48. In preparation for their first theater performance, a dress rehearsal was to be held on stage. The girls’ first task was to greet the crew and staff. These greetings are important in building the trust and harmony of everybody that is involved in the theater, all for the sake of an amazing show.

The rehearsal started after the warm-up session. Because it was the last day of preparations before the main stage, detailed attention had been given to the dance movements, positioning, changing intervals and other aspects. Particularly, after the last unit song "Kagami no Naka no Jeanne D'Arc”, a series of continuous costume-change was practiced in order to simulate the actual tempo flow. The faster they changed their costumes, the more perfect the flow will be.

This technique was done so that the members could remember all their movement for the stage through muscle memory. However, their first rehearsal event on a new and wider stage had caused members to sometimes get confused in executing the difficult dance movements; there was even awkward silence as they forgot their parts...

In the end, the rehearsal that started at 3 PM, continued till past 12 AM at night. Anxiety and exhaustion engulfed the JKT48 members. Not only that, they will also have to face their fans the next day.
Finally, the stage crew decided to break the worst kind of news to the members.

"If you cannot do this perfectly, you will not perform tomorrow."

The girls had tried with all their might and spirit, but even then, there was still that horrible possibility that their theater performance will not go on….

Filled with mixed emotions, JKT48 members started to shed tears of sadness. The cruel deadline had come. Rehearsal ended with less than satisfactory results, and also with the question of whether the performance will still continue. The JKT48 members left the rehearsal stage in a depressed mood.

~1st Day - 3rd Day~

Spoiler

7 hours passed after last night tearful rehearsal. Surprisingly, JKT48 members came to the theater gleefully. They have cried and practicing while in the bus and in the hotel all they can until morning. Thanks to that, all the worrisome factors on stage have been conquered and they no longer depressed when entering the stage. And of course due to that , these 24 members really belongs on this exact stage, without missing any single members.

As a note, for this theater all 24 of the girls will be participated. Usually, the set-list they used only needed 16 members to be available. That's why JKT48 divided the members into two groups and there are some members who will do double role on each team.

Since JKT48 doesn't have any team yet, this show could be called as a "Trainee Theater" . This also marked the beginning for rivalries to enter a team.

The first day for "JKT48 1st Stage Pajama Drive" has now been officially started. It's a full-house!! In the middle of the hot stage that cannot be cooled down even with air conditioner, "Overture" blaring. JKT48 members enter the dark stage along with the fans MIX. They formed a circle, then with "Shonichi"'s intro twice snare drum booming, they have started their show.

All JKT48 members try with all their might in singing and dancing. The stage prepared by the members and crew mixed with all the fans strong affection, resulting in a true theater performance.

On stage, there's no longer any anxiety the members felt last night due to the support and passion shown by the fans that has given the girls a boost. Performing without being afraid for making mistakes, to give the audiences the best they could 120% body and soul.

Started with team songs by 16 member to attract the fans, then continued with unique songs that have their own appeal such as "Tenshi no Shippo" that full of cuteness; bravely prancing and dancing around on stage with "Pajama Drive" and "Kagami no naka no Janne D'arc"; then a song that describe a girl's heart who fallen in love in "Temodemo no Namida".

Next is the MC session which also an important factor that plot the theater into an enjoyable experience. They will have different theme for every performance and the girls talk will full of improvisation from the JKT48 members.

As an example, "What is your favorite Animal ?" theme which then answered with "cat", "dolphin", or "Rabbit". But then comes Frieska with her answer "White Tiger!! I want to keep it as a pet!" which turns the stage into a burst of laughter since everyone can see another side of this reserved girl.

The warm atmosphere that lasts for one and a half hour then turns into a touching moment due the fact that the show will reach an end with "Boku no Sakura". Then the members left the stage and darkness once again covered it.

Not long after that, encore call could be heard "JKT! 48!!" . The fans keep on shouting the encore call as if they tried their best to show their thanks to JKT48 members...

The lights came back covering the audiences seats. The encore starts. Started with "Wasshoi J", then "Shiroi Shirts" which was the last song. And with that , the first theater is done, all the lights were lit again. All the members hastily leave the stage, of course with the purpose to say thanks to the fans outside the theater.

They form a line to do the hand shake session and to say good bye to the fans that left the theater and heading back home. A hand shake with the JKT48 members that have performed so well in front of them is obviously the best gift for JKT48 fans.

Continued with the performance on May, 18th and 19th , now they performed "Kimo no Koto ga Suki Dakara" as a surprise. Added with more surprising factor such as door prize session on the stage. When the show was done, the fans got another chance to do a two-shot session with their "Oshimen" as a thank you.

For the night show held at May, 18th, there's also a surprise to Sonya whom having her birthday. AKB48 "Namida Surprise" fill the air . Every audiences members start singing "Happy Birthday" when the birthday cake arrived. Sonya moved to tears since she could celebrate her birthday along with the JKT48 debut theater.

Well, tomorrow is the last day from the total 4 days of the first JKT48 theater. All the crew and staff were having a meeting. What kind of surprise awaits on the last day ?

~First Theater Last Day~

Spoiler

Day number 4 for JKT48 first theater and also the last day. The girls were full of confidence which reflected on they way they do the MC session. They look at the fans and express themselves all with their heart. Very different from the first day they done the MC session, where they talk nervously.

The theme for the MC session on this last day is "What do you think about the theater ?" which then answered by the members seriously along with with the gratitude they shown to their fans.

JKT48 is a group full of vigor. Passionate dancing and gleefully MC session have shown that they are not inferior to AKB48 or other groups. And what makes up the cheerful atmosphere is non other than the warm and endless hospitality from the fans. At that time , the stage is echoed with the MIX, the response and jokes from fans who filled all the audiences chairs. Thanks to that atmosphere, all JKT48 members could try all their best in all the seven shows in four days.

But, there's a little "accident" in the introduction MC session on the 7th day. Shania suddenly sobbed. All the feelings that she felt as a front liner in all of the shows, felt by the other members simultaneously. One by one, all JKT48 members cried together with her.

It's been half a year since the first time the members started to grab a mic while trembling and standing in front of the audition stage, through extraneous drills, and to be at last reached where they are right now. Today, they've shown a stage which full of satisfaction smiles and happiness, warding off all the cried of helplessness and all the regretful tears.

It's all started with regretful tears and ends with happiness tears...
The girls have grown along with all the tears that coming down their cheek.

As a closing for that day, they once again coming on stage and sung "Heavy Rotation" centered by Melody. The audiences reaction when the mic started to stand cannot be describe by words. As JKT48 first song and first PV , even at that time, it was felt that this is already a legendary song in Jakarta.

The show then continues with "Aitakatta" acapella version sung by the members. The members then started to giving out a poster with the member signature as a gift after the show was done. They then accompanied the return of their fans to their home by doing high-five session, handshake, and of course the two-shot session which took time longer than it used to be. As if they want this happiness to be everlasting....

This four days gave proof why the concept of "Idols you can meet" is popular in Japan. To see and feel with your own eyes the growth of your idol, and to give them support to raise their popularity... Once you felt this kind of sensation, it's hard to let go of it.

JKT48 Theater will continues on.

There still some chance for you who have see their performance or never see their performance before to try to watch the girls growth from now on.

And don't forget to always stay faithful in promoting your "Oshimen".

All : Hahahaha
E : Nabilah does that actually, she uses hair dryer to dry her sweat...
F : Even before the show started she usually said , "Grrrah, sweating again."

H : When we were having a shoot, we were already in our dance position, but she's still sleeping even while she's standing. If I didn't remind her at that time, "Ayana, don't sleep!" , then it's a guarantee that she won't wake-up.
F : Shania, whenever she gets nervous she will starts sucking her thumb, even when we told her not to suck it. Hehehe.
G : Rena, she looks like reserved when she's in front of the fans, but actually whenever she's having a talk with me...ouch...she never stops talking, even for a minute.
C : When she introduced herself for the first time, she's also reserved, but when she starts to talk, she never stop.
E : She's getting better with her Indonesian...
A : At one time, me and Sonya were having a conversation and talked about Rena when she near us. We thought that she doesn't understand as she just stay silent there. Until one day, Rena told Sonya, "Umm, At that time Kak Sonya and Kak Jeje were having a conversation about me right ? Hehehe" She understood , but she didn't say anything. But she's not mad at being the main topic of the conversation, she's actually happy that she started to understand Indonesian language.
G : But it looks like Rena's shy when using Indonesian and her voice is so low.
F : Doesn't she even lowered her voice when she's talking in Japanese ?
G : But when she's conversing with me, she's really talkative.
C : She's a nag when it came to her hair-do, it should be like this or that.
F : Even when tying her hair, "Oh no, it's way too high, I looked fat! , change it a little bit, "Oh no, it's way too low"
C : Then she went back to the first style.
F : Though for me, whatever style she tied her hair, she still look like the same Rena for me.
All : Hahahaha.
MC : The ever reserved Rena, is there anything you would like to tell ?
D : When I was sleeping, I hear voices , it turns out to be Ayana, "Hello, Hello" . I woke up and realize it was Ayana sleep talking with a phone on her ear.
MC : It's all about Ayana's sleep habit hehehe
C : When AKB48 came here, I'm on the same room as Sonya. She really looks like a water buffalo, if she ever fallen asleep then waking her up is another story. At that time, we went to Jeje's room, but Sonya left her mobile phone in our room. She went back to grab her phone, but then she never came back to Jeje's room. She's not answering her phone, then I went back to our room and knocked on the door but still no answer. It turns out she already asleep...like a dead man.
B : I want to rest my eyes for a mere 5 minutes at that time, but I slept instead hehehe.

Rewards for Forgetful Members

MC : JKT48 members have their own image right ? , can you tell me the story behind your image ? , like Stella is hot-tempered.
G : She's flirtatious!
MC (?) : Yes, she's grumpy, for everyone else, Stella might be scary, but she's actually scared of Ghaida.
All : Hahahahaha!
F : Ghaida softly caressing Stella's chin pretty much often.
C : When she does that, Stella always ended up screaming
MC : Is there any other story like that ?
F : When dancing, Dhike usually got paired with Ghaida, she admitted that Ghaida always looking at her direction deeply, The way she's looking at Dhike is kinda scary.
C : Everyone of us scared of Ghaida.
F : But she's actually very feminine y'know.
A : If we show Ghaida that we scared, she's actually enjoying it, if we just ignore her (approach) , then it's okay. But if we started to avoid her approach, then ... (Jeje mimicking Ghaida, She started to caress Sonya)
B : Kyaaaaaaaaa!
All : Hahahaha.

Actually, the talks about this secret is getting hotter and as an Idol, there are still much more secrets that goes beyond our wildest imagination. But for now, we will stop it here. Thank you for reading this article.

Message from Yasushi Akimoto [QC'ed by Dominique]

Spoiler

Yasushi Akimoto founded AKB48 in December 2005 at Akihabara, Japan. He is also the main producer for AKB48 and all of her sister groups. What kind of vision does he have for the newborn JKT48?
===============================
Profile
Lyricist. Since high school, he has shown his talent as a screenwriter and written scripts for many famous television shows. From 1983, he also began writing lyrics and has produced many hit songs. Naturally, he became the lyricist for the AKB48 groups.

In 2011, five of AKB48 singles written by him were lined up in the Oricon Yearly Single Rankings. All five singles eventually became Million-Sellers, broke new records and made history. One of the singles, "Flying Get," was awarded the Gold rating during the 53rd Japan Record Awards.

I believe one day, unique personalities will emerge from within JKT48. I am looking forward to that important moment.

Six years before the birth of JKT48, AKB48 was formed in Akihabara, Japan. How was this group who, later monopolized the idol entertainment world, born?

“In 2005, at the beginning, I had wanted to make a theatre group. However, I was worried that if we performed the same stage drama everyday, the audience will get bored easily. I also imagined how interesting it would be to have a dance performance accompanied with singing. In the end I decided to produce idols.

Afterwards, I looked around to find a place for the stage performance. Fortunately at that time, Akihabara was bustling with a unique "Moe" culture so I decided that the stage will be in Akihabara. By using the passion and spirit of the locale, I got the idea to build a theater with the purpose of making Akihabara a center to spread the trend.”

After going through some activities, the concept of "Idols you can meet" was born. This concept of “Idols you can meet” spread bit by bit.

“At the start, in every AKB48 performance, we always reserved seats for fans from outside Akihabara. Because we felt that this made the fans go through too much trouble, we then made sister groups outside of Akihabara; in Nagoya, Osaka, and Hakata (Fukuoka). Their purposes were not different, because like AKB48, the important thing was to have a “Designated Place.” With the theater performances at these locations, we can establish a loyal and stable fan base and keep generating meaningful Contents.”

AKB48 eventually became famous worldwide thanks to the internet, to the point of getting invitations to events outside of Japan. In the middle of this rising popularity, during the year 2011, the intention of creating sister groups based in other countries began to grow. Subsequently JKT48, the first AKB48 sister group based outside of Japan, was born in Jakarta, Indonesia.

“I chose JKT48 members with the same way and intuition I used during AKB48 auditions. My basis in selection was to uncover attractive looks and attitudes or unique capabilities and potentials that possess appeal. After the members were chosen, we train them to sing and dance to prepare them for stage performances....which is why at this point, JKT48 is still taking the first steps AKB48 took when they just formed.”

But to be successful as an idol group, the most needed ingredient is “time.”

“The process cannot be rushed and must be allowed to happen as naturally as possible. If we get too over-protective, such as giving overly-detailed instructions, all of it becomes too mechanical, and in other words, ‘unnatural’.

Because of this, I just provide the conditions and the place. The rest is up to each member of JKT48 to freely be creative in these prepared situations and places. This way they can perform in events with all their hearts in it. Consequently, not only the members, but the fans too, will also become more serious and enthusiastic. Claps and chants, encore calls….All of these will turn into a precious experience for the members.

By gaining these experiences one by one, and in the process of all their hard work, every member will transform gradually and develop their distinct personalities. During that moment, i will then for the first time, give them a personal message. The chemistry that will emerge out of these diverse personalities will create a force that even I cannot imagine.

That force is what AKB48 possess right now. Someday when the members have developed their own unique personalities, at that moment, JKT48 will be able to have their own original stage.”

Lastly, as the main producer, do you have a message for the members of JKT48 right now?

"My message is 'Do the things you like, with all your heart.' Essentially, singing and dancing is part of a human's natural instinct. You may look at AKB48 and imitate them, but in the end what is most important is your own instinct to decide what is cool and what is cute.

For example, have you wondered why a flower garden with many different flowers looks so beautiful? It is a feeling not possibly experienced from neat rows of the exact same flowers.

It is the existence of the different flowers that bloom in the garden that make it look so magnificent. In this same garden, there are flowers absorbing moisture, flowers dancing merrily in the breeze, and even flowers trying hard not to get chewed by insects. It is only because of this diversity of life that the attractiveness of this garden can begin to unfold.

Now, JKT48 is like a seed that is just starting to bud. Therefore, members! Do whatever you can right now with all your heart! I'm looking forward to the day the unique flowers in JKT48 bloom."

Message from Takahashi Minami

Spoiler

Takahashi Minami, captain of AKB48's Team A has given her support to JKT48 even before the group was officially formed. What is her impressions of JKT48's members after seeing the group up close when they performed lives and events together?
===============================
The spirits of each members are important, but of course what makes JKT48 shines the most are their fans!

Takahashi Minami, affectionately known as Takamina, has often been named as the person JKT48's members looked up to. Takamina is the first AKB member who visited Jakarta on October 2011.

-What was you first impressions meeting JKT48?
I first met them when they were on one of their practice sessions, all at once they noticed me and screamed "Takamina~!" and ran towards me. Everyone was so cute I felt a bit like Kinpachi Sensei.

I felt at that time like "everyone is my beloved students", then we hugged each other. Though as a Japanese I'm not that used to hugging and I was reluctant to start hugging other people on my own initiative. So until the end was just standing there passively with my heart racing.

-How did you feel about the atmosphere when they were practicing the choreography of "Heavy Rotation" ?
When I saw the moves on the intro at the beginning of "I want you-", I thought to myself "they still have a long way to go". But I was touched seeing their determinations to keep practicing so I want to keep supporting them.

Four months later, Takamina is back performing with JKT48 at "JAPAN POP CULTURE FESTIVAL 2012" in Jakarta. And the strong wills of JKT48 haven't changed since the last time they met.

All around the performances was a lot smoother and a level more matured. But the most important thing is that their spirit of "Doing their best with all their bodies and souls" felt bigger than before. We the 48group is not necessarily the most professional dancers compared to other idol groups, but our determination and willpower we put into all our efforts won't lose to anyone.

Performing onstage with JKT48 has made me realize that putting all our hearts into the stage performances will always be appreciated and supported by our fans everywhere. Even when I was walking backstage I can hear from a distance shouts of "Takamina-san, otsukaresama desu!!". They also tried to talk to me even with broken Japanese, but I was so happy from their kindness and it all makes me want to support them more!

-Watching the growth of JKT48 as performers, is there any message you want to leave them as their senior?
I always felt that joining AKB48 is a very extraordinary and unique opportunity. If I look back at all the things AKB48 has done so far, my mind is too busy trying to finish the task in front of me and never got the chance to think too deeply about the meaning of my presence in the group. That's why I want my juniors to take their time to appreciate what an extraordinary thing it is you're doing right now and think about what you are doing this for.

I'm sure with just taking the time to do those thing they will develop and grow even more rapidly. I understand that we are always so busy keeping up with our schools and lessons but I hope they can realize this as soon as they can.

In the growth of JKT48, the fans existence is inseparable.

The feelings of always wanting to support and encourage is always there even in different countries. Even if it can't be conveyed through words, I believe those kinds of supports can be delivered in so many different ways. I will always be thankful of the warm receptions every time I come here. I am very happy of their support to AKB48, but I hope the fans can assimilate into one with JKT48's fans so they can make Indonesia more lively!

Because I'm sure JKT48 members will shine even more with all your supports. Please support us!!

-Last question, Takamina's oshimen in JKT48?
Melody is cute, so very cute. Also Rena-chan who can speak Japanese. It was a shame I can talk to everyone because of language barriers, but someday I want to be able to talk to everyone about a lot of things!


Note : Kinpachi sensei is teacher from a dorama "3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi Sensei" played by Takeda Tetsuya

Dhike is known as a tsundere (hard to express sweet side of her). For example, on a conversation someday

seems like she tried evading us. When could we see her cute smile? Until now, staffs find that its hard to communicate with her. But actually, she's just hard to get along with someone else and she is basically a quiet person. Her smile when she feels embarassed, is really cute. Togeter with melody and stella, she was chosen as the main cast for a TV commercial, as a result, her popularity increase. Raise your hand, if you want to feel attracted by her 'tsundere' smile!

She always try a new variation on her coffee by adding some milk or make a coffee latte and drink it 3-4 times a day. She is still not confident with her skill, so that she that its hard to attract the attention from fans. But her motivation and determination is to become the number 1 in JKT48. Rica watch other members performance seriously from backstage and learn from it. Since there was a sudden slight change in the formation for her 1st theater show in jakarta, she found some difficultiesin memorizing the choreography of 16 song in 1 week. On the show day, she collided with Shania. But they managed to recover and finished the song succesfully. This shows the improvements on Rica's performance.

 

@Torque @Red
Thanks for your hard work Torque, Red [clap] . @Torque it's okay, take your time

@Xeno
Just post it right there at your post by editing it . PM is also fine or a new post is also fine by me

 

Hi Team!~

Would like to introduce myself~ Dominique from Singapore here, I've been invited by Angga to help the project out in the role of QC. I've done some minor writing and editing in the past so I think that will influence me in this current role. Nonetheless, i'm still new to what a QC does and I hope that if you have useful feedback for me during the course of this project, please do not hesitate to let me know (PM if necessary).

Nobody has set any guidelines yet but as a general rule, I'd like to suggest that we try to maintain the same content in the guide book and try not to over add, leave out, or newly recreate what the idea in the passages tries to convey. (Unless of course, the idea is really difficult to express.)

Also, during the course of my QC edits, I would have to make some alterations to your translated works in the process. If you cannot agree with the alterations and believe that there is a better way to express the passage, do let me know so we can work a solution out~ Besides, I'm my own blind spot.

Other than that, I feel this is a great project and I'd really like to see the fan base grow as a result of our work together. Cheers to boss Angga and hopefully, any further adjustments needed for this project can be ironed out soon.

Did the First Event in Bandung Make You Homesick?
MC: Not long ago, you girls held a performance in Bandung for the first time. How did it feel to be able to perform in your own homeland?
All: Happy!
C: We don’t have to go to Jakarta, just directly to the show place, it’s more relaxing.
G: At least the members from Jakarta can feel the tiring trip that we usually do, hahahaha
C: In the future, we want to be able to perform in Bandung again. Fans in Bandung that aren’t able to go to Jakarta can also watch us live too. Beside that, our parents will also be able to see our show.
MC: When you had your performance in Bandung, did you go to the show place from your home directly?
C: Yes, directly.
F: We could wake up a bit late too.
G: So could I.
MC: Were you happy to be able to perform in Bandung?
F: Must be yes. Until now we always hold the show in Jakarta, and not every fans in bandung that want to watch us can go to Jakarta. So when we performed in Bandung, they can just come and watch us, they must’ve felt happy.
A: So there are a lot fans, aren’t there.
G: Not even lose compared to our passion!
A: Fans from Jakarta that came to watch us were also many.
MC: Members from Bandung are very loved by their fans, how do you think that could happen? Why Bandungnese love Bandung people?
D: Maybe different with a modern Jakarta, people from Bandung are educated traditionally, so everything has to come from Bandung. The culture that come from another city will be hardly acceptable here.
G: So we at the first time has already felt comfortable with the culture there.
F: And then in Bandung there is also a thing named “Pamali” (something that preferable not to be done because obstructing the norms) like sitting infront of the door, or eating has to be with spoon.
C: The manners too, perhaps for modern people it feels outdated, but it’s actually very important to keep our personality in.
MC: As for you members, what do you think about it? Do you prefer to be in Bandung?
D: At first, I thought traveling Jakarta-Bandung is an easy task, but as the time goes, my feeling to return to Bandung is getting stronger.
C: There must be a thought to feel the life in a metropolitan city like Jakarta, isn’t it? But in the end, it’s always a return to Bandung.
MC: Homesick maybe?
C: You can just say that.
MC: For people who’ve never gone to Bandung, is there any recommendation if they go to Bandung?
G: The foods! You got to try the northern Bandung too.
C: There are also a lot of sights, like Tangkubanperahu Mountain, Ciwidey.
F: You also have to go to Ciater too!
D: The scenery is beautiful! You can bath in a warm water pool, the foods are delicious too!
F: Even until zero o’clock, it’s still crowded.
MC: So from midnight until dawn, it’s getting more crowded, isn’t it?
All: Yes.
C: Night usually comes with cold, bathing in a pool of warm water makes you feel so comfortable.
All: Hahaha
C: In Ciwidey, there is Situ Patengan Lake and Putih Crater. You can also pick strawberry by yourself, or if going to Lembang, there is a Tangkubanperahu Mountain.
B: In Bandung, there are also a lot of cheap goods!
F: If in Jakarta most of the stuffs are expensive, in Bandung the price is still reachable.
D: And a lot of local brand in Bandung, if it’s in Jakarta, most of the goods are imported.

Jakarta is Hot.

MC: Before being a member, have you ever been to Jakarta?
All except B: Yep
B: My first time going to Jakarta was when the audition. It’s cool to see a lot of tall buildings.
MC: How did it feel on your first time?
B: It’s cool, I went with a train to Jakarta, when I arrived I suddenly thought “Wow it’s so confusing with so many streets!”. Then I also tried to go with Trans Jakarta [kind of public transportation], and then a taxi. It’s true that Jakarta has a lot of tall buildings, but people are cold there. When I said “excuse me”, nobody even respond to my word.
MC: Before entering the team, what do you think about Jakarta?
C: If we see it from the news, it got to be a very modern city.
B: Because almost all news are about Jakarta.
C: Yeah, it’s the capital city after all.
F: And also the traffic jam.
All: Jam and hot.
B: Even when we do nothing, our sweats are pouring.
MC: Well, those who don’t remember the streets, raise your hand!
A: I also don’t know them, but I always daringly try it.
C: It’s hard to remember the street in Jakarta, just a little mistake and you will have to do a long re-route. Even when your destination is actually across the street, you got to take a long route. It’s more nice in Bandung because it has a lot of shortcuts.
G: Jakarta is too big.
B: it’s not big anymore..
G: Complicated! Hahaha.
MC: You girls in Jakarta have went to so many places. Which one is your favourite?
G: Dufan!
F: So amzing.
D: I like shopping.
E: I like Seaworld.
C: I like Taman Mini, I have been there when I was still in elementary school and also trying the cable car.
B: I personally prefer Dufan.
A: So do I.
MC: So I guess everybody like Dufan.
F: Bandung also has a similar theme park like Dufan, but it’s kinda small if I have to say, Dufan is funner. Anyway, Bandung is small, it just feels too close and we cannot call it a trip if it’s too close. Hehehe.
D: That’s right, it’s too close. It needs to be far to be called a trip.
F: If it’s close then it is not a trip at all.
A: It just feels flat if we have it in Bandung.
D: It’s also good in Jakarta because it has a lot of facilities.
C: At least if we to compare it with Bandung. Jakarta is more modern, the facility is also more adequate.
MC: Well, whatever the city is, Bandung, Jakarta, all of them are fun, aren’t they?
All: Hahahaha indeed!

MC: What about Dhike, where are you from?
E: I am originally from Palembang.
MC: Then before joining JKT48 your domicile is always in Bandung, isn’t it?

B: Me too. I finish my school at 3pm.
A: As for me, I usually finish school at 2pm but I go to Jakarta from 3pm onwards.
C: Training usually starts from 6pm in the evening, so there is still time to go to Jakarta.
G: If we come late, please bear with us. It’s kinda far hehehe
A: Like, very far…
MC: There were some who mentioned unforeseen events during your travel, has it ever made you come late to Jakarta?
B: When there was a fuel demonstration, I took 7 hours to go to Jakarta, I had to take another route.
A: When there was a labor demonstration, I was stuck at the toll for 2 hours. I even had to climb the road borders just to go to the restroom across the street.
D: The traffic jams too. When I arrived at the training place, it was night time and training was already over.
MC: That must be very tiring. Are there any interesting stories when and you finish training and have to travel back to Bandung?
A: We usually reach home at dawn.

MC: What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of using the travel agency?
C: It’s usually full on the weekend, and sometimes, we still can’t get a seat even though we are already in the waiting list. At other times, we arrive late to training because we had not booked it previously. Not only that, even if we get onto the waiting list, we often don’t get the travelling times we desire. There was also a case where we had to wait several hours before moving out.
MC: What was the longest time you had to wait for the travel?

MC: Not long ago, you had held a performance in Bandung for the first time. How did it feel to be able to perform in your own homeland?
All: Happy!
C: We did not have to go to Jakarta, just directly to the show place. It’s more relaxing.
G: Let the other members from Jakarta feel the tiredness we usually get, hahahaha
C: In the future, we want to be able to perform in Bandung again. Fans in Bandung that aren’t able to go to Jakarta can also watch us live too. Besides that, our parents will also be able to see our show. It feels good.
MC: When you had your performance in Bandung, did you go to the show place directly from home?
C: Yes, directly.
F: Able to wake up a bit later too.
G: Me too!
MC: Were you glad to be able to perform in Bandung?
F: Of course. Until now we always held the shows in Jakarta, and not every fan in Bandung who wants to watch us is able to travel to Jakarta. But during our performance in Bandung, they were able to come and see us live. They must have felt happy too.
A: There are a lot fans, ya?
G: They are not losing out to our passion either!
A: There were also many fans that travelled from Jakarta to see us.
MC: The members from Bandung are very loved by their fans, why do you think this is the case? Why do people from Bandung, love people from Bandung?
D: Perhaps, it is because of a difference from that of modern Jakarta. The people from Bandung are traditionally educated, so everything has to originate from Bandung. Cultures that come from other cities will face a harder time feeling accepted here.
G: So, from the beginning we were already comfortable with the culture there.
F: And then, in Bandung there is also something called “Pamali” (actions that are discouraged because it goes against the norms) like sitting in front of the door, or like, it being a must to use spoons during meals.
C: To have manners too. Perhaps it might feel outdated for modern people but it’s actually very important to watch our manners too.
MC: As for you members, what do you think about it? Do you prefer being in Bandung?
D: At first, I thought traveling between Jakarta-Bandung is an easy task, but as time goes by, my feeling of wanting to return to Bandung became stronger hehehe
C: There must have been a desire to feel the lifestyle of a metropolitan city like Jakarta, ya? But in the end, we want to come back to Bandung too.
MC: Homesick maybe?
C: You could say that.
MC: For people who have never gone to Bandung, is there anything you want to recommend if they come to Bandung?
G: The food! You have to try going to northern Bandung too.
C: There are also a lot of sights, like Tangkubanperahu Mountain, Ciwidey.

D: The scenery is beautiful! You can bath in the hot springs, the food is delicious too!
F: Even if it is midnight, it is still crowded.
MC: It gets even more crowded from midnight till dawn too, yeah?
All: Yes.
C: IF the night is cold, bathing in the hot springs will make you feel really good.
All: Hahaha
