Q: What about your life in Jakarta?
H: I’m very satisfied. Everybody says “You look bright,” even Mr. Akimoto said “You look so happy.” It’s due to the change in my life.
Q: In your theater performances, Indonesian fans cheered you with “Chozetsu Kawaii, Haruka!” in Japanese, right?
H: At the top of their lungs. Japanese fans tend to hesitated, however Indonesian fans do never hesitate to shout. I think their cheers are louder than that of Japanese fans.
Q: Do you feel any difference from Japanese fans?
H: In Indonesia, it takes longer until we get the encore request. It is probably came from their heart to “Let the members take some rest first.” At first I was so confused like “How come? No encore request…?” (laughing)
Q: Do you remember the old days of AKB?
H: I joined AKB a year after they were born. And I joined JKT also a year after they were born. These are quite similar stage. Recently JKT theater is a total sold-out, I hope JKT gets bigger and bigger like AKB.
Q: What do you wish to be in Jakarta?
H: My dream is to be an actress. I think my Jakarta career is the beginning for that. Many people said “You wish to be an actress, but why you must move to Jakarta? If you move, you cannot work as an actress in Japan any more, you understand!?” Actually a few times a year I had played the drama in the theater. However, I thought that if I can speak Bahasa Indonesia, if I play drama in Indonesia, and if many people in Indonesia get to know myself, my activity will be enlarged widely. You know, Indonesia has this big population. If I am cheered by Indonesian people, it will also become a big topic in Japan.(laughing) I will learn English too, and I hope to advance to Hollywood.
Q: Compared with yourself before your move to JKT, have you grown up?
H: My biggest growth is responsibility. Now I strongly feel I AM “A JKT48 member” rather than “Studying Overseas”. We hope to release JKT’s CD in Japan, to be active in Asia including Japan. We don’t want to be left behind by AKB. I myself should support other members to popularize JKT.
Q： ジャカルタでの生活はいかがですか？
はるか： 充実し過ぎています。周りから“生き生きしてるね”って言われるし、秋元先生にも“楽しそうだな”って言われました。生活の変化が良かったみたいです。
Q: 劇場公演では現地のファンも日本語で｢超絶可愛い遙香！｣とかコールを送ってくれるんですよね？
はるか： 一生懸命叫んでくれます。日本の人はちょっとちゅうちょしがちですけど、向こうの人は本当にちゅうちょなく声を出してくれるんです。だから声援は日本より大きいくらいです。
Q: 日本のファンとの違いを感じることは？
はるか： アンコールが来るまで時間がかかります。“メンバーを休ませてあげたい”という気持ちがあるようなんですけど、最初のころはなかなかアンコールが来ないので“え！？アンコールがない・・・？”って心配になったくらいです。笑
Q: 昔のAKBとオーバーラップします？
はるか： 私はAKBが始まって1年で入って、またJKTが始まって1年で入ったから、本当に似たような時期ですね。JKTの劇場も最近はお客さんが増えて満員になるようになったので、このままAKBのように大きくなればいいですね。
Q: ジャカルタに行ってどうなりたい？
はるか： 私の夢は女優になることなんです。ジャカルタはその第一歩かなと思っています。たくさんの方に“女優になるのになぜジャカルタに行くの？行ったら日本で女優の仕事ができなくなるでしょう！？”って言われました。確かに、日本では1年に2､3本は舞台のお仕事とかやらせていただいていましたからね。でも、インドネシア語をしゃべれるようになって、向こうのドラマにも出させてもらって、私のことを多くの人に知ってもらえれば、もっと巾が広がると思ったんです。インドネシアは人口も多いので、応援してもらえばきっと日本でも話題になるでしょうし（笑）。英語も覚えて、ハリウッドにも行きたいと思います。
Q: 移籍前より大人になった？
はるか： やはり責任感が一番大きいですね。今は“留学中”というより“JKTの一員”という思いが強いです。AKBに負けないように、JKTのCDを日本で出したいし、日本を含めたアジアで活動したい。JKTを広めるためにメンバーを支えたいという気持ちになっています。
oh my,i love you haruka ^_^.i hope your dream will come true
“My biggest growth is responsibility. Now I strongly feel I AM “A JKT48 member” rather than “Studying Overseas””
Oh, Haruka……I’ve lost my word that sentences
thanks harugon…
i really appreciate it…
yokatta, you’re the one who moved to JKT48…
i’ll always shout your name in theater…
春香を応援します（；＿；）
thank you!
I’m Mano Haruka
Hi Japarta san,
Thank you for your quick translation. What a large article!
I hope that Harugon will stay in Indonesia and keep doing her role and responsibility in JKT48 as long as she can.
she is soooo AWZOM!!!!
even mr. Akimoto said she looks so happy
me also happy to read that…
I think, depending on Harugon’s original open- mind character, she became truely the one of JKT48 members. I think that Harugon’s “overseas study” project is the 1st successful and proud result. I think that Harugon went so far beyond “overseas study”, but sounds like Harugon is the one of the I donesian residents. This result is that I wished when Harugon was annouced to transfer to Jakarta at Tokyo Dome, the last hot summer day. I continue to cheer Harugon’s happy life in Jakarta. Finally, I hope many Japanese working persons who are staitioned in vaious overseas cities and who are depressed should learn Harugon’s possitive attitude.
I think this might make you fall on your knee … http://www.langitberita.com/environment/81068/haruka-jika-semua-member-jkt48-ikut-aku-juga-ikut/ .
She revealed to the media that she will participate in AKB48 Senbatsu Sousenkyo once all other JKT48 member can/are allowed to participate
Yeah, that’s a good idea. Sooner or later, JKT48 will be enrolled into “SouSenkyo(General Election)”. If so, we have better to call this event as “WorldWide Sousenkyo”. Don’t you feel sounds good? Incld. SNH and TPE(can’t see even now..) and so on:)
KageTora san. I’ve read all the articles, not only Harugon, but also Diasta. Appreciate for the link. I plan to subscribe this net news(?) from now on. Anyway, Harugon’s positive attitude always with JKT48, not AKB48 is prefferable I think. Because as Harugon said before, she is the one JKT48. Good job, Harugon, “Kakko Ii!”.
If there is such an advocate from within, such a thing may actually happen sooner than later. Although sometimes I wonder if her support of JKT48 affects her position with management in any way because she is technically supposed to be a representative of AKB48 for cultural exchange.
Haruka!!!!!!!!
I love you!!!!
Haruka is an successful example of AKB member overseas transfer program. Next is SKE!!!!
しかしＡＫＢから留学で移転されてきたら
例えばＪＫＴのメンバーがその分、出演できなくなるが
現地のファンはその事はどう思っているのかな？？
Harry tanoe should make akimoto extend Haruka contract in JKT48.Many girls become JKT48 fans because of haruka.i even saw some malaysian and singaporean(singapore citizen is singaporean right?-_-??) came to handshake event for her.
And with her,we will dominate the SEA and after that the world!!! muahahahahhahahaha!!!(DR Evil reference,yes it was Dr Evil in Austin Power if u still don’t know)
joking aisde she is undoubtly become irreplaceable member in JKT48 now
just imagining…
what could fans think, when her contract in JKT is over.
maybe, it’s will be phenomenal, equal to acchan graduation.
*just saying
I was impressed to her commitment to JKT48, I also surprised when I read her announcement about Senkyo in G+. Right away, after read the post, i bought CD for handshake with her and i said to her:
:RESPECT:
「遙香がＪＫＴに集中する為に選挙を辞退した事を知って感動しました。ずっとあなたを応援します！！」
(“Haruka, I was impressed to know that you have declined the election to in JKT. I’ll cheer you up all the way! !”)
heartfelt words from me..
