Meet and Greet Charity for Aceh

Yesterday (Monday, July 29th 2013) was the second time JKT48’s meet and greet charity held during this year’s Ramadan. There were only about 100 people attend the show. The funding raised during yesterday’s charity will be donated to Aceh, via ACT (Aksi Cepat Tanggap), a quick response organization that has a long time experience in handling refugees in disaster area.

Members who attend on yesterday’s charity was:
Team J: Stella, Sendy, Jeje, and Cindy.
Team KIII: Tata, Yona, Octi, and Nadila.

Session 1

After the Overture opening, members came to the stage, and played a hoax-or-not game. Two fans were asked to come to the front of stage. Each was asked who was their favorite member. The chosen members, Sendy and Jeje, then each wrote 3 statements on a piece of paper. Each fan then has to answer which of the three statements is a hoax. If the fan answered the wrong question, he had to dangdut dance (again, just like any previous shows) before receiving the gift.

Session 2

A woman from ACT was welcomed to the stage. She explained about the recent post condition since the recent Aceh quake. A lot of people still need help on recovery process, that any donations are welcomed to help them all.

Session 3

The charity program began with members auction their favorite personal belonging. There were 3 members doing the auction yesterday: Tata, Sendy, and Cindy.

Tata showed her favorite pink jacket, that she has worn since childhood. The jacket has her name’s insignia at the back. The bid started from Rp.30,000 (300 Yen), and it rise up quickly. The final bid reached Rp.2,300,000 (23,000 Yen).

Then Sendy offered her long time wrist watch, that she has worn years before her time in JKT48. The final bid reached Rp.2,350,000 (23,500 Yen) to a recurrent fan. Sendy even put on the wrist watch to the fan’s hand herself after the bid.

Cindy offered the final auction. She showed off her photo in a frame. The final bid reached Rp.3,600,000 (36,000 Yen).

All bid winners had a two shot photo and signing with member.

Session 3

Members closed the auction with the song Tenohira ga Kataru Koto. The song previously was known sung by AKB48 during the recovery process on Japan’s big earthquake last year. Yesterday, the Indonesian version of the song was sung live on the stage.

Tata, Octi, Cindy, and Nadila then walked off the stage. Each carried a donation box and walked around the theater to collect donation. On the stage, Stella, Sendy, Jeje, and Yona sung the slow version of Heavy Rotation. The background music is actually a recording of Jeje’s keyboard playing.

The third song is Kimi no Koto ga Suki Dakara. The music played in the background. It was funny that Stella actually sang Ponytail no Shushu lyric before realizing that she sang the wrong song. All members laughed on the stage because of Stella. Stella was quite ashamed, and she couldn’t stop laughing. She just sat on one of the chair, while the rest of members and fans keep on singing. Later she went behind the stage until the song is finished.

Jeje then asked fans to call Stella’s name again. Stella appeared again on the stage, still with a smile, apologizing for the wrong lyric. The song Ponytail no Shushu was supposed to be played and sung after this. The song was then played, and again members and fans sang it together.

Session 4

The show closed with the announcement of total donation earned. All theater tickets bought yesterday also went to charity. This is the final calculation:

• Theater tickets: Rp.8,550,000 (85,500 Yen).
• Auctions: Rp.8,250,000 (82,500 Yen).
• Collective donations: Rp.5,002,500 (50,025 Yen).
• Total: Rp.21,802,500 (218,025 Yen).

The donation was given directly yesterday to ACT. Let’s hope that even though it’s not much, it can help relieve our friends in Aceh.

As usual, fans were welcomed to do high touch with members after the show.
