    This is just a dumb noob opinion; this overseas transfer program suppose to be a gateway to promote not only 48 related stuff, but also other positive things between japan and indonesia..

    Aki and Haruka indeed the most succesfull example of this program, and (maybe) that is why this program still goes on eventho we rarely see Aki in indonesia..

    Me not in the position to comment about SNH, but there is must be a positive things that Sae and Mariya left there..

    • Tomo says:

      I always have difficulities to talk about the current situation of Sae and Maria. I don’t want to think this situation has been involved within the 2 countries different recognition. Especially about Sae. She stated good and hard that she concentrates the activities of SNH at last “senbatsu”stage. Sae alraedy possesed the strong heart to lead the little members in Shnaghai. I highly want the dreams of a young and cute girls come true as soon as possible. If she needs something, I do my best for her (but, probably none…).

    Interestingly, the results of the exchange program for Akicha & Haruka are contradicting..
    I hope Haruka will stay in JKT48, and there will be more transfer member from AKB48 for team KIII..

  3. buddy says:

    I hope this “study abroad” program keep continue in the future and many sister group members in japan interest to join JKT48 too especially after see Haruka and Akicha happy story. :mrgreen:

  4. Tomo says:

    I believe that this 48 members exchange will generate the “real global 48 groups”. And this step should be needed for 48 to go toward the whole “new” generation of 48.

    • ken says:

      I agree with Tomo…maybe a special team just like before but more diverse…

      • Tomo says:

        How about GLB48 (GLoBal)?

        • ken says:

          GLB48?????maybe not..but more like sub unit in AKB48 but more special….they could speak more than 2 or 3 language maybe,english, chinese, bahasa, japan, korean???why not???…that would be awesome!!!

          • SegantengGhaida says:

            almost all Indonesian member can speak more than 2 languages: Bahasa Indonesia, English, and their traditional language (Javanese,Sundanese,Balinese,Malay,Chinese, etc) wkwkwkwk :mrgreen:

          • Tomo says:

            That’s the reason why JKT48 is the international 48 better than AKB. I think AKB should have some lessons of several languages. BTW the one member has been acting the character of the TV CM promoting one national qualification through one correspondence course company. So all the members, let start to learn some languages in order to be global :wink:

    As always, the magnificent Japanse translation. The rich vocabularyies. I admire :-P

    well….i always see that ONLY harugon is succed in this program
    Aki,while indeed her vote is increasing, seems like not commited enough for me…..IMHO

    Sae and Mariyannu while they seems like comitted enough in this progran but sadly was blocked by deteriorating bilateral relationship beetwen Japan-China

    Harugon is really becoming some kind of Indonesian Ambassador in 48 fandom, its really great !
    yeah I know, Aki features more often in some tv program that showing Indonesia
    but…Harugon speech in Tokyo Dome, shes wearing Indonesian flag in janken, etc etc makes me thinks that SHE is the real representative

    anw, this is just IMHO, so dont take it seriously ;)

    oh and, I do agree that more AKB member coming to JKT
    Aamin maybe, TemoDemo between Aamin and Nyash would be VERY drooling hehehehe (for me)

    • Tomo says:

      I remember that in a TV show, Gon said “Aku Suka Disini”. WOW 8-O I and we ( probably many Japanese fans) were envious of Gon :oops: Gon is highly open and greedy over studying everything in Indonesia. I respect Gon so much :-P

    i have to admit, at first i was like : mann, why haruka nakagawa? who cares? well, at least theres akicha.

    NOW : haruka nakagawa is just the best japanese member from all the groups i want her to stay forever whooohoo, akicha what the hell are you even doing here ?

    • ken says:

      don’t say that….akicha tries her best to promote JKT48 in her own way…maybe gon is more suited to promote JKT48 in indonesia while akicha tries her best in japan..don’t underestimate their willpower..and it’s tiring to go between indonesia and japan often

    “Alas, no such announcement was made, and now the transfer program quietly begins its second year in operation.”

    In relation with the overseas transfer program, the August 2012 Tokyo Dome Concert only served as the announcement of said program. The transfer program itself formally began in November 2012. So the transfer program will quietly begin its second year in operation starting from NOVEMBER 2013 and NOT from August 2013.

    • benimaru says:

      What the dude above mean is; if this overseas transfer program will end, people at aks suppose to made an announcement as a notification at tokyo dom last month..

      But they didn’t, which made us safe to assume that this program still goes on (unless they will announce it later, whenever that is..)

    Does anyone know how the members selected? whether they had volunteered or been selected by management? Their result (Akicha and Harugon) will be a benchmark for the other members to be willing to follow the program.
