This post was inspired by what one of our authors, Kurisu, had done before in her personal Tumblr. Make sure you check her Tumblr link up there to see some of the well known pairings from JKT48!

And now, here are some lesser known pairings we’ve managed to compile over the previous days. Enjoy!

Indolish Circus

Della (KIII) and Natalia (KIII) are both share the same trait, their English is a circus of its own. But nonetheless, both of them are more than passionate enough to learn the language. Della especially with how persistent of her to practice her English in various MC session amidst her peers laugh.

That trait alone is more that enough to established their identity and they are not afraid nor embarrassed for that. Every time there a chance for an English sentences to came in, either one of them will be the first whom will be asked to be the object of the conversation.

And Nat also learned Japanese formally nowadays by choosing Japanese as her main foreign language studies in her school.

Viny once recorded and shared the epic conversation session between them, have fun watching it here:

The Successor

Sendy-Rica from team J is a very well known pairings among JKT48 fans. They are inseparable and completed one another, which trait also somehow infected their fans too. In 2ch, there’s a pretty big sub forum called Rica-Sen thread where both of their Japanese fans form a coalition of support.

Somehow their friendship also becoming a role model for both trainees, Via and Rachel. They are always together in various off and on-air event, went shopping together, and spend the night together. Many people said that they are belonging in one package.

When Sendy and Rica both chosen in Pajama Drive Revival, Via and Rachel are among the first to congratulate them both. Perhaps in their mind, if their predecessor, Rica and Sendy, able to achieve that, then there will be nothing impossible for them to achieve too.

Some of the fans (most notably one of our author, Pitra) have had saw the four of them discussing something very serious in a local restaurant in f(X). A discussion between the senior and the junior.

Recently, Vanka more than often joined The Successor team.

East Javanese Duo

Hanna (KIII) once said that she is very close to Ikha and Nat. But there is a trait that makes her pairings with Rona (KIII) is a much more interesting thing to explore. Both of them have had their share of time in East Java. That makes them somehow prone to speak in the local dialect of East Java in various MC sessions.

Thus, although there’s no exact recording of them accidentally speaking in local dialect, the various fans account already proven that both of them is very prone to speak in the local dialect if they ever got the chance to do the MC together. Exactly why, they are the East Javanese Duo.

Here are some of their Tweets that somehow, turns into that local dialect that I even have some hard time to understand. Thankfully, Pitra speak the dialect, so here’s the translated version of that tweet:

Rona (In normal Bahasa Indonesia): Some people told me that JiaMin birthday is today, but there are also those who told me it will be tomorrow, and those who said 22nd. Which one is the correct one?
Hanna (In East Javanese Dialect) : How would I know? lol
Rona (In East Javanese Dialect): Aw shut up (laugh), Anyway, I dropped my helmet yesterday, and now, it is in pieces o_O
Hanna (In East Javanese Dialect): (laugh) Buy a new one, then! Don’t be so stingy (laugh), Trio Three [TN: We are in absolute confusion what she meant with Trio Three]
Rona (In East Javanese Dialect): Buy me one! That being said, I think I’ll just wait until Eid al-Fitr and asked my Dad to buy it for me.
Hanna (In East Javanese Dialect): I see, got no money before the D-day (lol). Anyway, many members doesn’t understand what we talked about* (lol)

*in reference to Jeje who quoted them and said that she feels like she’s in the middle of Prambanan Temple.

BONUS

Shafa!

Yep, Shafa, and Shafa alone with no pairings.

Before I start, remember this guy from EyeShield21 Manga and Anime?

You guess that correct, Tetsuo Ishimaru.

Ishimaru lacked the presence on the field that sometimes, his adversaries and even teammates do not note his presence on the field. Nevertheless, Ishimaru is also one of the key players when their team is in a pinch. Without him, the team lacked one of the most underrated important running back in the series. And that is exactly what Shafa is in JKT48, an -almost- invisible running back that hold a key position in the group.

Shafa is currently the holder record for the least one in being mentioned by the other active members in her Twitter account based on the Twitter statistic here. When the whole fandom in Twitter is in outrage due to a case indirectly involving her and two other members, she got her name left out in almost every publication of the case by fans.

But does this means that Shafa is just that bad? No she’s not. As I stated above, she is the Tetsuo Ishimaru of JKT48. She seems like invisible, seems like no one even care. But in reality, she hold the most appearances in RKJ among the trainees as per September 30, 2013 and the fourth most per December 12, 2013.

Worth noting that she is also ranked the fourth most in BnT performances as per December 12, 2013.

Without her, the trainees coalition will collapsed especially after the departure of Dellia and Dhifa. She is indeed one of the most underrated pillar of the trainees. With a strong will and dedication plus patience, it is not impossible that she will achieve more than what Tetsuo Ishimaru, her exact anime personification, had done for the Devil Bats with his Rodeo Drive.

There are also other pairings among KIII and Trainees. But alas, as KIII is well too blended all each others, it was kinda hard to ship them as a pairing. But with trainees, there’s also other possibilities such as Nobi and the already graduated Delli, as well as, Sisil and Dena, which is very close at each other as per fans account.

If you do have another pairings you have in mind, please don’t hesitate to shoot it in the comment form below!
