JKT48 First Generation’s Birthday – Translation

Sonia : I’m really happy for our 1st Anniversary. We could have our own theater and I hope for JKT48 to always be here for you in years to come

Cindy : At that time we only have one seifuku. Now we have a lot of songs. From the first time we learn how to do “Heavy Rotation”, I mean we learn how to sing it. I’m together with Kak Cleo and Sendy at that time.

Cleo : Well, for me, I’m happy obviously. I felt a lot of changes, like at the first time, I don’t even know how to dance but after I’m here, I know how to do it.

Kinal : The fights is really…I’m so proud of these girls, from the past where they couldn’t dance and now look how good they are when memorizing the dance parts. And to you guys, thank you so much for supporting us this past year!

Nabilah : When I joined JKT…I’m the youngest one here…and…how happy I am to be able to join my sisters here. I remember when I have my first twitter account, there’s almost none followers and now..JKT48 is becoming bigger…and it’s all for you guys…Thank you…

Jeje : If we got accepted, we will be able to go to Japan together and then.. [Jeje could no longer contained her tears]
Audiences : Jeje! Semangat! Ganbare! Jeje! -cheering Jeje-
Jeje : And then..I…sat next to Ve and Sonya behind me. When they called my name I was surprised, I mean how can I be accepted while I (She used the term “Gue” here which an equivalent to “Ore” in Japanese) only practiced twice and then…ouch I’m not allowed to say “Gue”.. [TN : I’m not really sure this is what she said]
Audiences : -laughed-
Jeje : I was a disorganized person at first but now I could organize myself better -a little laugh-* , Now I could pay attention more to myself, thank you~

*[TN : She used a really odd term to say “disorganized”/”berantakan” here by using “I was a fiber-ish person at first”/”Aku orangnya serabutan” which makes the audiences responded back by saying “Fiber-ish ?”/”Serabutan ?” ]

Sendy : When the first time we were having our debut..I could see the fans clearly and it wasn’t that much, just a few people there. But now, I could see it getting bigger and bigger. I’m really really happy to be a part of JKT48

Diasta : Well…same as the others, I’m really happy. I don’t know yet about our future, but from this past year, we could achieve more than I could imagine. And this is all because of you, thank you very much!

Sonya : In here, I could learn on how to become a professional. I also trained my mental here. We are always together and when we performing, we cannot show if we happened to have a personal conflict between one or two members, so like it or not, we have to go through that. Even though I’m just a kid; in JKT48, I started to learn about the circle of life, on how our fate is not always on top but sometimes we have to go through a hellish moment.

Stella : Now, we are here. From a small stage until we were able to performed on Tokyo Dome. And it’s all thanks to you guys, we are nothing without you. But this isn’t the end yet, we still have much more waiting for us in the future. And one thing I would like to ask from you guys. Have a faith in your favorite member, have a faith in us that we will always fight for you guys.

Ve : At that time, not a lot of people knows us. And when we were performing, people are looking at us and like “Eew, gross..” . And after each time we finished our performance, there will always be someone or some group that said “Next time, bring your whole neighborhood to do the performance!” . And we, as members, felt really really hurt when we heard that. And uh…honestly, we have been gone through a very rough moments.

Mova : We got accepted, from the moment where we don’t know how to dance, to sing. And then we learn…together all the time. What I’m trying to say is, we are nothing without you guys…

Ghaida : In JKT48, it’s like…opening your views to something that you weren’t aware of regarding yourself -Azeek- . And that helps me to “Change!” into a beautiful butterfly! Thank You!

Beby : So, actually, we have been together for more than a year. And I feel so close to the members, I feel like they’re already my family. Since I become a part of JKT48, I felt a big change in my life. I mean, who knows Beby ? Now…it’s like…when I said “I Love You..” and you guys started to say “Beby!Beby!Beby!” , who want to say my name like that in the past ?
Audiences : ME! ME! NO, ME!
Beby : -laughed- I felt so many changes now, I’m not the past Beby who could walk casually with some friends, doing many school activities…but….in here, I have you guys..

Rica : Since..uh..I felt…[Cried, she no longer could hold the tears and talk normally]
Audiences : Semangat Rica! Ganbare! Zest!
Rica : I…just wanna say one thing…I…Thank you.. I…will never be able to..[sobbing hardly] sing or dance..without you…[trying to control herself more] I just want you guys to keep supporting JKT48, thank you..

Ochi : So! the main point is…
Audiences : Azeek!
Ochi : Azeek! -laughed- . The main point is…well I’m just saying that I have the same feeling with all the girls said before, Many many many many many million of thanks to you guys since you have supported us since we were zero. But for me personally, I’m still a nobody and still need to learn more. So! the main point is…A…
Audiences : AZEEEK!
Ochi : Your support will always be A…
Audiences : AZEEEK!
Ochi : Keep A!
Audiences : AZEEEK!
Ochi : Azeek! Thank you!
