[230513] JKT48 in Hitam Putih Live – Translation

Deddy : The stage is totally empty. There’s only a few possibilities why the stage is so very empty like this.
Anu : And that is?
Deddy : First is an earthquake, which is not the case now. I was thinking that if the stage is this empty, why don’t they just remove the piano too?
Anu : This piano is classic.
Deddy : Or let the piano stays here and let us just get rid of you instead.
Anu : Well, the piano is a classic one. While me, I’m antique.
Deddy : (laugh and continues the joke)
Deddy : Okay, since it is not earthquake the other possibilities is that my guest stars today are gonna fill the stage. So can you guess who?
Audiences : JKT48!!
Deddy : Aw come on, louder will ya. Repeat once again.
Audience A : JKT..
Deddy : NOT YET!
Deddy : You scream by yourself, loud and wrong!
Deddy : Nu, countdown!
Anu : 1! 2! 3!
Audiences : JKT48!!
Deddy : Okay! Please welcome, JKT48!
[The Girls Enter the Stage]
Deddy : Anyone else left behind? No? Let’s count. 1,2,3….four…sixteen.
Deddy : How are you girls?
Members : Fine, thank you!
Deddy : [To Haruka] Heya how are you? I know her very well.
Deddy : She is the only Japanese I’ve known that reminds me to both Naruto and Hachiko.
Haruka : Haruka!
Deddy : What’s that?
Haruka : Haruka~
Deddy : Well..still reminds me to Naruto and Hachiko. Anyway, You came from Japan right?
Haruka : Yes~
Deddy : Japan right?
Haruka : Yes~
Deddy : And now you reminds me to Doraemon
All : (laugh)
Haruka : Iiih! [TN : “Iiih” is an ideophone that states a manner of “playfully annoyed” after a jokes. Careful with the intonation tho’. Different intonation could give another completely different meaning such as “Disgust”. And Haruka nailed the intonation perfectly to show her “playfully annoyed” reaction and she did it with more “spoiled” tone there. I’m totally amazed]
Deddy : I..uh..cat got my tongue. There are so many of you here. So uh.. you girls are JKT…
Nabilah : 48
Deddy : I know. Shut up.
All : (laugh)
Deddy : JKT48, what generation?
Members : The 1st!
Deddy : And also the 2nd?
Members : Only the 1st
Deddy : I see. Why aren’t you also brought along the 2nd generation?
Members : They have theater schedule.
Deddy : I see. And you girls no longer perform in theater?
Members : We still do it. Just with different schedule.
Deddy : Huh?
Nabilah : Different schedule.
Deddy : I see. So this is all the 1st generation. How many girls are there in the 1st generation currently?
Members : 23
Deddy : 23, ‘kay. How about the 2nd generation?
Members : (Thinking)
Kinal : Us combined is 51.
Deddy : I see. And which one are you here that came from Japan?
Members : Rena and Haruka
Deddy : Where’s Rena? Ha! Rena! How are you?
[TN : Rena is very afraid of the host due to past show where Deddy played his “Cruel Bully Evil” character to Rena. Now he played that persona to Haruka which..well..you’ll see.. ]
Deddy : Rena, I’m a good guy. You know how to speak Bahasa right?
Rena : Yes~
Deddy : (Mimicking Rena)
Deddy : Seriously, I’m a good guy today. I’m really sorry if I made you cried the other day. Truthfully, I also cried back at home.
Members : (Laugh)
Deddy : I was thinking why didn’t I played it crueler to you that day.
Members : (laugh)
Deddy : Okay, what is the difference between the 1st Generation and the 2nd generation?
Kinal : We already got our own team while the 2nd generation currently are all trainees. Our theater show title is Renai Kinshi Jourei while they performed their newest set-list, Boku No Taiyo. So don’t forget to visit the theater okay?
Deddy : Don’t forget to visit their theater to see that uh…bo..re..uh..whatever she said back then. Who is the first timer in Hitam Putih here? Rena came here a lot! (Scaring Rena)
Members : (Laugh)
(Melody shows her name sign as well as Haruka and Cindy)
Deddy : Melody….I don’t see any Haruka there…and then..
Members : (Laugh)
Deddy : Cindy? No you’re not. You came here before. So only Melody?
(Haruka waving her name sign vigorously)
Deddy : Okay, okay. Haruka.
Melody : Yeah, Haruka too.
Haruka : Yeah! Me!
Deddy : This is your first time here Haruka?
Haruka : Yes!
Deddy : Hope this is will be the first and the last time
Haruka : (Laugh)
Audiences : (Protesting)
Deddy : No, no. You got me wrong. All of the girls are welcome here except Haruka
Deddy : So Melody, this is your first time here. Why haven’t you came here before? (Scaring Rena again)
Members : (Laugh)
Deddy : I was slipped! Sorry!
Melody : Yeah, I was very busy..
Members : Whohoo! Busy!
All : (Laughed and teased Melody)
Melody : I didn’t mean it that way! I mean my home and my university both are located in Bandung. So I have to going back and forth Bandung – Jakarta.
Deddy : I see, going back and forth Bandung – Jakarta. So you don’t miss your friends at all?
Deddy : Where do I have to stand? Give space! gimme space!
(Deddy taking some space on the Right side of the screen)
Deddy : This isn’t right…Haruka! Give away your space!
Members : (Laugh)
(Haruka playfully hitting Deddy with her name sign)
Deddy : This one Japaneseeeeee!
All : (Laugh)
Deddy : Hey, gimme your space! Your ancestors were taking away my ancestors space too back in the old days! [TN : A reference to Deddy’s Chinese ancestry which then again sounded insensitive considering current political situation but actually it is not. This is a joke lost in translation due to the intonation used by the host as an irony joke.]
All : (Laugh)
[Starts from here is a message from the sponsor, IM3 which Melody and Nabilah promotes]
[Rena being chased away by Deddy scene]
Deddy : Okay, You’re done?
Nabilah & Melody : Dooone
Deddy : Both of you talk all by yourself with no stop at all. Okay, so since you are all here now, do as you please on the stage. Anyway, I know Kinal, Shani..
Audience A : PEEEER..FORM!
Deddy : (To Audience A) The hell is wrong with you?
Members : (Laugh)
Deddy : I think this guy have a high stress level. Screaming all by himself.
All : (Laugh)
Audiences : PERFOOORM!!!
Deddy : I see. That’s how you should do it, in unity! Don’t go Leeroy Jenkins all by yourself. So you girls want to perform a piece right?
Members : Yes
Deddy : The stage is yours then. But Rena, come with me.
Members : (Laugh)

Deddy : I heard that soon you will have your own TV Show. What’s the name of the show? How would like to promote the show here? Anyone is okay!……except Haruka.
All : (Laugh)
Haruka : I don’t want to myself.
Stella : The name of the show is JKT48Mission. So in here, we have to do some not so easy missions that we have to accomplished.
Deddy : I see. And all of you involved?
Members : Yes!
Deddy : Now let’s see the trailer for the show! What was it called again?
Members : JKT48 Mission

[Trailer then played]

Deddy : You took that ride and you cried?
Members : (Protesting)
Deddy : Who cried back then?
Members : Everyone!
Nabilah : I didn’t cry!
Members : LIE!
Deddy : You? Your face even telling me that you’ll cry even in bump car ride.
All : (laugh)
Deddy : Cindy, I suggest if you ever go to any amusement park, please do choose Merry-Go-Round instead.
Cindy : Oom, please do imagine. 90 degree to the top and we went doooooooooooown [TN : The girls are referring to the host as “Oom”/”Uncle”]
Deddy : Of course it went down! You wanna stay up there forever?
Members : (Laugh)
Cindy : You didn’t experienced it yourself! It was waaay too scary up there! I’m just a kid and I afraid of falling down from heights!
Sendy : C’mon, try it yourself Oom.
Deddy : No, I don’t dare go against you girls. You will ganging up on me.
All : (Laugh)
Deddy : So what’s different about your show?
Kinal : It is funny!
Haruka : It is fun!
Nabilah : The missions are all awesome
Deddy : What mission did you get?
Nabilah : A lot!
Deddy : Well then, TELL ME!
Nabilah : It’s a secreeet!
Deddy : Give me one example
Nabilah : Uh…
Sendy : Laser gun?
Nabilah : Ah yes, laser gun battle
Deddy : I see..
Nabilah : So we have to defeat our opponent
Deddy : I see..so while you having fun playing laser gun battle, Cindy have to face life and death situation with that ride earlier.
Nabilah : NOOO
Kinal : Different episode!
Nabilah : Yeah!
Deddy : How do I know?? It’s not even aired yet!
All : (Laugh)
Deddy : And I also heard that you went to Japan too?
Members : Yes
Deddy : For what? Ah I see, Haruka went back to her hometown
Members : Yeeey
Deddy : Why didn’t you just leave her there?
All : (Laugh)
Deddy : Rena, what did you do in Japan?
Rena : I went into a ghost house ride.
Deddy : Huh?
Sendy : She went to your house
Deddy : She went to my….@##@#%!@#&
All : (Laugh)
Deddy : Did you cry Rena?
Members : She cried!
Members : And she also fell down to her knees!
Cindy : She’s being left out by the team since she fell down!
Deddy : Which one is scarier, the ghost or me?
Delima(?) : You!
Deddy : Shut up. I didn’t ask you.
Members : (Laugh)
Rena : Both are scary….but you way more scarier.
Deddy : Ooookay… Proven by how you cried back then in Hitam Putih.
Rena : No, I didn’t cry..
Deddy : But you cried at the ghost house?
Rena : No, I didn’t
Deddy : She said she didn’t cry back then. Look at this brave Japanese here who claimed she didn’t cry at all, Haruka.
Stella : And that’s a total lie, she cried!
Kinal : She’s the same as Rena!
Melody : Haruka is a scaredy cat too!
Deddy : She cried too?
Melody: Yep, together with Rena.

[Talking with the other hosts and remarking about their clothes printed with “I love JKT48” and stuffs]

Deddy : So you did a concert together with AKB48 too in Japan?
Members : Yes
Deddy : Which one is better? JKT Empat Delapan or AKB48?
Kinal : Forty Eight.
Haruka : JKT Forty Eight.
Deddy : Yeah, yeah, just answer me which one is better.
Kinal : We both have different colors. JKT48 is more like a combination of Indonesian and Japanese culture.
Deddy : I see. The character is what makes it different. Except for maybe throwaway Japanese members that painfully ended up in JKT48 (Holding his laugh)
Audiences : (Laugh)
Deddy : So when will it be aired?
Nabilah : 5th of June, 9 AM in the morning
Deddy : Huh?
Nabilah : AH! I mean 15th of June, 9 AM.
Deddy : I see, so it is every Saturday 9AM. And that…wait a minute… I remember some of you girls came to my place as a part of your mission!
Shania & Beby : When? Why? What? How?
Deddy : ….”WHEN?”, “HOW?” It looks like I’m the throwaway here!
Members : (Laugh)
Deddy : Why didn’t you girls put that certain mission there in the trailer??
Audience B : Don’t want~
Deddy : HUH? Me “don’t want” you!
Audiences : (Laugh)
Deddy : C’mon, put the snippets there on the screen!
Shania : They don’t have it.
Deddy : They have it!
(Argument between the girls and Deddy)
Deddy : They don’t want to air that episode? Okay, this LIVE show shouldn’t be aired too then.
Deddy : C’moon! The Snippets!

[One of the episode where Deddy appears snippet]

[Reading from Deddy’s lips movement, he said : “Awesome” ]

Deddy : After that training, three of them had fever (Holding his laugh)
All : (Laugh)

[A special appearance of three young teenagers (Junior high school, 7th grade-9th grade) who bravely saved a young teenage girl from being killed in an attempted rape and murder. They also apprehended the suspect with their own life on the line. Their face was covered up as per the Indonesia Broadcasting Commission rules for underage witnesses. The JKT48 Girls were all in awed when they hear the smallest one even jumped from his motorbike to save the girl.]

[TN : And both Sendy and Haruka were very very scared of the mask the teenagers donned]

[The show then goes on for a demonstration by Kinal for woman self defense]

[River Performance]

Deddy : [To Gaby] What happened?
Gaby : (laugh) I slipped!
Deddy : I see. Poor girl, she almost fell down back then. So that song came from what album?
Shania : This is our newest single.
Deddy : I see. Anything new compared to your old album?
Shania : River is more like..bravery. Before, we went with this cute image. River told you about an obstacle and how we try to overcome that.
Deddy : I see, something like overcoming the 2nd level right?
[Ayana came from the back stage]
Deddy : So, I heard that not all of you involved in the recording?
Shania : Yes, just 16 members involved.
Deddy : These very 16 on this stage?
Shania : No. Not all of us.
Deddy : Okay, and that one word, what was it?
Members : Senbatsu
Deddy : What is that?
Shania : Perhaps we could say it as the chosen members.
Stella : So we have 16 members per song and every song have this different members composition.
Deddy : I see, so I could conclude that even in JKT48 there are rivalries between you.
Shania : A healthy competition between us.
Deddy : I see. So you have to show your quality to be chosen for a song. Are there any upset moment for those who were not chosen?
Ve : It was for their own motivation to fight harder.
Deddy : I heard there were those who cried. Is that true?
Shania : Yes
Stella : I mean.. those who were not chosen doesn’t mean that they were bad or something. It is more to the song characteristic. Are they suitable to the song character or not.
Shania : Yes, you could say that we all supporting each others here.
Deddy : Now I wanna ask Haruka. Haruka, you originally came from AKB48?
