The Long and Winding Road – Webisode Part 2
by Tilly · February 17, 2014
A surprise came to the JKT48 third generation finalists. Melody visited them in the training camp.
WHAT DOES MELODY THINK OF JKT48 THIRD GENERATION FINALISTS?
►It was my first meeting with JKT48 third generation finalists. Actually they are cute, still very young, and pretty also.
►When I arrived, they were stretching. I just shared my experience; since I have been 2 years already here.
►I motivated them to keep their spirits high. Now they are still participants, but how to pass this audition, well, it depends on their own attempt and effort.
WHICH EXPERIENCE DID YOU SHARE?
►For example, if they passed, there will be a lot of pros and cons. I told them that you would be loved and hated.
►However, bear in mind that all praises should keep your feet on the ground.
►Don’t be afraid of critique as well. You should not be down, angry, or cry. The critiques help you grow.
YOUR MESSAGE FOR THE FINALISTS
►Work hard. Because hard work will never betray you. If you are betrayed, it means that you are still lack of effort. I always emphasize to them. They have to maximize their determination to be JKT48 third generation member.
This time, they are experiencing rigorous physical exercise than before. Gradually, their physics are better prepared.
HOW DOES IT FEEL AFTER YOU HAVE MET MELODY?
►I’m very happy, for sure. Melody is prettier in real life. How to say that? Melody is very mature, pretty also, what else? There is so much I can say. I was very surprised, “oh, that was Melody!” I can’t believe my eyes in the beginning.
►Out of my prediction. When we were stretching, she arrived. Wow, she set my soul on fire!
►I’m really glad. When we were stretching, she walked between us. At the first time, I realized maybe someone was coming late to the camp. But wait, it was Melody! Very pleasant feeling. She told us many stories and … she is stunning.
►Can’t explain my feeling! I am out of words! Can’t describe, I’m very happy! Ah, she is gorgeous!
Support them and stay tune in to this long and winding audition
3期生のファイナリストたちにサプライズが。メロディがトレーニングキャンプを訪れたのだ。
<メロディはJKT48の3期生ファイナリストについてどう思っている?>
►3期生のファイナリストに会ったのは初めてでした。みんなとてもキュートで若くて、そしてきれいでしたよ。
►私が着いたときはストレッチの最中でした。私の経験を色々教えてあげました。私がここにいた時からもう2年もたったんですね。
►目標を高く持ちなさいと励ましたんです。まだ候補者でしかないわけだから、オーディションに合格するには自分自身が努力するほかないんです。
<どんな経験を話してあげたの?>
►そうですね。もし合格したとしても、いいことも悪いことも山ほど待ち受けてる。あなたを好きになってくれる人もいれば、嫌う人もいるのよ、と言いました。
►でも、応援してもらうことはすごく励みになることも覚えておいて欲しい。
►それに批判を恐れちゃだめ。落ち込んだり、怒ったり、泣いたりしちゃいけないの。批判は自分を成長させてくれるから。
<ファイナリストに何かメッセージを>
►とにかく頑張ること。努力は決して裏切らない。もしそうならなかったら、それはあなたの努力が足りないから。常に考えて欲しいことは、なんとしてもJKT48の3期生になるんだ、という決意を最大限発揮しなくちゃならないということ。
現在、彼女たちはいままで経験したことのない厳しいフィジカル・トレーニングの最中ですが、徐々に良くなってきました。
<メロディに会ってどうだった?>
►すごく嬉しかったです。実際に会ったメロディは本当に綺麗でした。何ていうか、すごく大人で、綺麗で、それから・・・言いたいこと一杯あるんだけど。「わあ、メロディがいる!」ってすごく驚いたわ。最初は自分の目が信じられなかった。
►思ってもいなかったの。ストレッチしてたら、メロディが来て。うわ、もう大興奮だった!
►本当に嬉しかったです。ストレッチの間を抜けて歩いてきたの。最初は誰か遅刻したんだろうって思ったの。でもよく見たら、メロディだった!すごく感激しました!色んな話をしてくれて・・・ほんとにもう体が震えっぱなしでした。
►もう何も言えません!言葉にならないわ!もう全然だめ。大感激!もう、ほんとゴージャスでした!
ファイナイストたちに応援を!この長く困難なオーディションにこれからも注目していこう。

All of the 3rd gen final audition participants’ reactions when seeing Melody reminds me with then-1st gen final audition participants’ ones when seeing Takamina.
Now that you mention it… :’)
Gen 1; chosen by Yasushi Akimoto, got visit by Minami Takahashi, got a rare chance to visiting AKB48 show in tokyo dome (even performing there)
Gen 2; chosen by JOT, got a rare chance to visiting AKB48 theatre..
Gen 3; chosen by JOT, got visit by Melody Nuramdhani, got a chance to visiting JKT48 theatre..
…eh, if i’m not wrong Gen-2 was chosen by Aki-p too …’n Reino Barack already confirmed that he’s gonna be the final judges for the 3rd Gen along with Aki-p too …
@Benimaru: I can see that you’re simply trying too hard at making a “2nd&3rd-Gens-ain’t-got-the same-treatment-as-that of-1st Gen” farce but it’s too bad your information is incomplete and it can mislead new fans. Let me correct you.
* 1st Gen:
Gen 1 final audition participants were chosen NOT ONLY by Aki-P. There were three companies’ representatives on JKT48 1st gen final audition at Grand Hyatt Hotel: Aki-P and some people (AKS reps.); Harris Thajeb, Ghopta Chandra, Inao Jiro (Dentsu/JOT reps.); Reino Barack (MNC Media Group rep.). Regarding Takamina’s visit, she was ordered to visit the 1st gen final audition participants during their training simply because some then-JKT48 1st gen final audition participants would be the pillar and foundation of JKT48 aka JKT48 very first generation. I don’t think it’s necessary to send other JPN48 girls again for the next gen final audition participants’ (2nd, 3rd and so on) training.
* 2nd Gen:
– The Final Audition @RCTI studio: Gen 2 final audition participants were chosen NOT ONLY by Dentsu/JOT. There were again three companies’ representatives on JKT48 2nd gen final audition at RCTI studio: Takumi Matsumura (AKS rep.), Harris Thajeb, Ghopta Chandra, Masato Ono, Toshiaki Gomi (Dentsu/JOT reps.), Kanti Mirdiati (RCTI rep. on behalf MNC Media Group).
– The “Real” Final Audition in Tokyo, Japan: This final audition simply exists for creating a rich and grand ending/closing episode for JKT48 2nd Gen audition reality show program on RCTI and it was sugar coated by the so called Aki-P’s infamous SURPRISE. This “real” final audition in Tokyo, Japan DID NOT intervene whatsoever with the previous ABSOLUTE final results at RCTI studio. I’ll say it again: This “real” Final Audition was simply made for a grand ending/closing episode for JKT48 2nd gen audition reality show: sightseeing in Tokyo, visiting AKB48 Cafe&Shop and watching AKB48 theater show performance LIVE @Akiba, getting judged by 48G very own Total Producer, 2nd gen final audition celebration on a Yacht, etc. This time there were only reps from AKS (Aki-P and some people) and Dentsu/JOT reps. (Inao Jiro and some people) without any rep from RCTI nor MNC Media Group.
*3rd gen: Those girls which Melody visited IS NOT JKT48 3rd gen. They are currently mere JKT48 3rd gen final audition participants. The JKT48 3rd gen audition we all watched together on RCTI back then was simply to select those who have the rights to be JKT48 3rd gen final audition participants. The JKT48 3rd final audition itself have yet to start.
Ijou desu.
if it is true, than it is glad to know then..
me just hope those girls do not feel inferior..
because some of gen 2 does..
Do we all? I mean, look at them (Team J or Gen 1)! Not to underestimate team K3 or Gen 2, but Team J is the original JKT48. They are veterans, they are well experienced, they are founding members, and they even performed in Tokyo Dome. Team K3? Well, they’re good though, but….. ehm… Look,tell me what’d you say when you watched JKT48 without team J. Me?? Like this:
Buddy(Not a wota): Heeey broooo, JKT48 on TV now!!
Me: No sh*t?? Lemme see…lemme see…….(Watching for a while)….uhm…eh….Well, I shall go back to my work.
Buddy: What? It’s JKT48 isn’t it? Not Che*****le. You love JKT48, don’t you?
Me: Yeah….it is. But it’s “just” Team K3. So that means the event isn’t bonafide enough anyway.
Buddy: Team K3?? Who the hell is Team K3? I thought it is JKT48! Am I wrong?
Me: Will you shut up please?? I got a lot of work to do!!
Buddy:?????????
See? Who doesn’t feel inferior to team J??
than it is our job as a fan of gen 2 to make them not feeling inferior
and not blaming others just because some members who feel like that
typo : its ‘then’ not ‘than’
