Ramadhan Meet and Greet Event 20th July 2013 Field Report
Hello readers, we meet again in my field report series, now I’m gonna report what happened at the JKT48 Ramadhan meet and greet event on 20th July 2013.
Arrived in fx at 1:30pm, way earlier ahead of the event, my first plan was to buy a ticket for the Break fasting event with members that was being held on Monday, unfortunately the ticket was sold out since there’s only 100 seats available. I moved on to my second objective, to wait for the merchandise booth open because I wanted to buy extra handshake tickets, as I waiting on the f5 floor I checked my email and found out that I had won the verification email for the meet and greet event held that night, another objective accomplished.
After buying the handshake tickets, I met some friends to break the fast together at Senayan City mall, since the mall is pretty far from fx, I arrived late to exchange my ticket and got bingo number 7. When the bingo started my number was called in the fourth turn, but lucky me, I was able to get a seat in the 2nd row (this is the third time during a Ramadan event that I’ve been able to sit in the 2nd row).
Again, the event itself started late but not as late as the charity event (approximately about 15 minutes).
Overture
Members Present : Nabilah Ratna Ayu, Diasta Priswarini, Nadila Cindi Wantari, Alicia Chanzia (Acha) Octi Sevpin and Annisa Athia (Nichan)
MC + Ramadhan Jikoshoukai Style
Again since the jikoshoukai is funny and spontaneous I can note it down.
Games Session
Games session means the members are split into two teams :
Diasta-Nadila-Nichan vs Nabilah-Acha-Octi
During the games, each member takes a turn to perform a specific task
1. News Anchor (Diasta & Octi)
Diasta looked so cute wearing her glasses and she presented the news like the news anchor should while Octi presented the news like infotainment host.
2. Radio DJ (Nichan & Acha)
Both of them made for very, very attractive radio DJs, especially Nichan who it seemed very very comfortable doing the task, while Acha as always, with her spoiled and innocent voice made everyone laugh.
3. Model (Nadila & Nabilah)
This is the real showdown, both of teams really, really give it their all, both while wearing the same Lay Down jacket however Nabilah equipped herself with Tsundere glasses and did the hair swing like Naomi usually does during the song. While on the other hand Nadila kept her cool and flirtatious style when she modeled (and I kept thinking during the session that if this duo performed Lay Down, it would be epic).
In the end Diasta’s team won and Nabilah’s team had to face punishment by dancing dangdut, and eventually Diasta’s team also joined the punishment, that made the audiences laugh out loud.
After that karaoke session with the audiences singing Kimi no koto ga suki dakara, there was another games session, this time with the member using a toy-like pirate in the barrel which if you stabbed it with a plastic sword in a certain place the pirate will popped out of the barrel and it would be considered a lost. The punishment that the losing team would have to endure; a mustache drawn on their face. The first round went to Nabilah’s team and the second round goes to Diasta’s team, so every one ended up with a mustache drawn in their face.
Another games session followed, this time playing UNO Stacko, and they could choose three of the audiences members to help them to solve the games. It was a pretty funny and noisy session due to Nabilah, who can talk a lot, as does Acha. The audiences seemed to enjoy it, especially when one contestants, who the members called “pak haji” (he wore baju koko and peci) helped the girls to solve the games (they chanting his name repeatedly). The session itself, went on for pretty long since both teams refused to lose – in the end, there was no winner and a chosen audience member received a hugged t-shirt from member.
Lastly there was a photo session and hi touch to end the event.
Notes
The event itself was pretty chaotic and noisy since two talkative member from each generation (Nabilah and Acha) were combined together, luckily Diasta was there, who could control their talking and allow them to focus. Nichan, Octi and Nadila actively tried to be involved in the interaction and did pretty well. Nichan looks like Jeje at times and pulled out the punchline jokes, Nadila brought her flirtatious personality that made the audiences Loled. Octi, who I believed would be the passive one turned out to be one of the active ones, this mix of personalities makes the event not so boring and I couldn’t stop laughing during the event.
Thanks for the report! Ah, I want to see Diasta wearing glasses! Seems that JOT forgot(?) to upload the photos of this event.
btw, good work to Angga for the new look! It looks nice and it’s mobile-friendly. You guys are awesome!
