Haruka’s Announcement Regarding Sousenkyo
Haruka has decided not to enter the Senbatsu Sousenkyo this time as she stated on her G+ Page. It was originally written in Japanese and then translated into Indonesia. Here’s the English translation translated by Japarta.
Good evening.
Today, I have to share my information.
After I considered many things about myself and circumstances,
I have decided to decline the SENBATSU election.
All fans who are supporting me, My deepest apology.Now, I am one of JKT48 members.
If I remember my experience both in Japan and Indonesia, these are quite different.
My JKT48 life is exciting and it is my fun everyday!
We became to release our first album as JKT48! And my Bahasa Indonesia is gradually improved.
I’m full of happiness when I am in our theater and any stage with our fans and members.Actually I’m awkward…
If I run for the election, neither of my activity can be completed, I think…Running for the election, it means that I have to do AKB activity while I do JKT activity.
If I was asked whether I can do both activity completely or not, I should answer I cannot right now.
If I cannot do both activities at once but still run for the election, (I’m afraid) I will bother other people..So, please allow me to concentrate with JKT activities!
I have many many activities. I’ll grow more and more, after that if the right time comes when all people say “oh, you did it”, please allow me to run for the election.
Please wait for me until when it comes true.
And I promise I myself will do my best as many people can see my efforts.This time, I decline the election.
However, Akicha runs for the election as the representative of JKT48.
I hope Akicha does her best and appeals JKT48 as the representative.
Do your best, Akicha!And fans, please support Haruka Nakagawa!

A little sad that Haruka couldn’t join but I understand her feelings.
At least now JKT48 fans can give all their votes for Akicha,
I read her post on Google+, and I thought… this is the queen of JKT48.
She displays her determinations subtly enough its overwhelming. I am deeply moved by her post.
Remarkable, Haruka.
While certainly this is a calculated step, but this has genuinely brought incredible warmth to all JKT48 fans.
I am not even Indonesian,but I can feel the sentiment.
With or without senbatsu sousenkyo, to me, she has won the top place.
I am forever grateful by her decision.
Haruka, tonight, the whole JKT48 fandom; -we-, are falling in love with you.
Can’t say it any better than that mate. Touche.
+1 dude.. +1..
You described our feeling so well, man.
Haruka has won some place in my heart now.
I’m speechles..
She shows that she really enjoys being part of JKT48 and staying in Indonesia.
It’s an honor for us Indonesian.
Thanks Haruka, you have won our heart.
I love Haruka even more… :’)
so, i should say wow then ?
just kidding guys ^^
actually i already guess that she will reject the sousenkyo …. when she said that she’ll think about it. well she really know how to get Indonesian people heart….. actually if she decide to join the sousenkyo, i have a plan on “provoking” you guys to vote her ^^ as our thanks for what she gives to us…. and now i don’t know how to give some thanks to her anymore ……
maybe JOT should let her be a center in new JKT48 PV as a thanks to her, and I think that’s still not enough ….and yes she really win my heart, i think that’s how an Idol should do…..
Good luck Haruka, if you really love Indonesia that much, i hope Jokowi will grant you a Honored Jakarta Citizen….
for a girl that look a bit clumsy, she is surprisingly well determined..
she made a decision.. an impressive one for a girl at her age..
you’re really matured Haruka.. and that is why we, JKT48 fans, love you even more
Haruka, so much to sacrifice.
In all study abroad member of SNH48 & JKT48, Only Haruka didn’t candidacy.
All other member did candidacy!
Because,Only study abroad member must recovery her AKB Position!!
But, I alredy understood when Haruka came to Jakarta with Akicha at JKT Theater open day.
Akicha seems much nervous, But, Haruka seems calmly decision that Haruka ready for be an Indonesian Idol!!
Haruka’s comment also touch my heart.
But, I confirm her former comment at AKB cafe & JKT Theater Open day.
Haruka’s comment was all True!! Haruka is very honest & sincere girl!
Haruka’s deep love for JKT48 was took steadily…..
“Haruka san. Mari kita mengejar mimpi bersamasama.^^ ” -Shana Junianatha.
It must be a tough decision for her to decline the election. She already made a decision to fly and come to Indonesia and join JKT48, and has to live faaaarrr away from home in months. Don’t worry Haru-chan, even though you declined for the election you’ve been placed as the centre of Koisuru FC. Isn’t that awesome!! You’re supposed to be chosen as the Miss JKT48!!!
