[From here on out notice the translator keep translating everything to the girls, Good Job Ms. Translator!]
Nycta : Mas Daniel (Mas is an honorary title directed to man older than one), have you married yet ?
Daniel : Well, I prefer to keep my private life out of public attention, so…sorry.
Ruben : Can you tell me what kind of person are you ?
Daniel : I’m an adventurous person to be honest. I like to try new things, I like challenges, and the most important thing is that I wanna try everything in life since you only live once. Like how currently I’m involved in business, acting and so forth.
Ruben : We heard that you have this weird experience. Accidentally ate a fly ?
Daniel : Ah Yes! You read my Twitter ?
Ruben : Are you a necrophiliac ? I mean a fly, flying towards your mouth for no apparent reason.
Daniel : It was a mosquito!
Nycta : Rather than fly, doesn’t it better if my love that reached you ?
Daniel : So when I’m in a middle of an interview, this mosquito without any reason fly towards my mouth and entered my stomach. So I ask for a break and started to drink and eat and it’s all for the mosquito sake. I mean, she gonna need some nutrition if she needs to lay egg on my stomach right ?
Denny : And while we are talking here, Ms.Translator there keep explaining things to the girls. Even with the mosquito incident.
Ruben : She even confused while thinking what is the Japanese word for “Fly”
Denny : Let’s ask the members now
Ruben : Members ?
Denny : Yeah, we call JKT48 members with well..members.
Denny : As we all know, JKT48 fans enthusiasm is amazing. Whenever JKT48 have a show, they will always come. They even have their own chant, and light stick. What do you think about the fans ?
Ruben : With all their enthusiasm.
Akicha : Ureshii! Senang! [Happy!]
Ruben : Happy ? …. We asked them a very long question and all they’ve got for an answer is : Happy ?
Haruka : Sugoku Ureshii Desu. Sangat Senang [Very Happy]
Ruben : I see, they added “Very” on the word. Okay, we cool, not bad!
Daniel : That’s what I call an answer to be honest, simple and straight to the point.
Nycta : But I feel bad for these girls…, like Harukan? Huracán?
Translator : Haruka
Nycta : Haruka. She’s 21 already and then Aki..
Haruka : Ah! I’m 20
Nycta : Ah yes, 20
Haruka : Aki is 21
Nycta : Yes, Aki is 21. I heard that you girls are forbidden from having a boyfriend in JKT48 ?
Haruka : Up until now I haven’t like nobody at all. I’m not interested in a relationship.
Ruben : Do you want me to hook you up with a man named Narji ? Unique of Indonesia!
Denny : He’s a kind of Tapir
Ruben : Stupa to be exact.
Haruka : Tidak [No]
Ruben : Narjiii! Poor you! Please don’t be too cruel to him Haruka.
Haruka : I’m busy right now, so I don’t have time for a relationship.
Denny : What kind of a guy you girls like ?
Haruka : One that doesn’t married yet
Denny : I see, specifically ?
Haruka & Akicha : Macho Man!
Denny : Macho ? Your body language says Drag Queen.
Akicha & Haruka : Macho!
Ruben : We have one here, Tessy
Denny : He’s a drag queen…
Ruben : When did you learn to sing ?
Haruka : Belajar ? Sedikit-sedikit [Learning (Bahasa) ? A little bit]
Ruben : I’m asking you about your vocal training.
[Audience starts to clap]
Ruben : OI! Who told you to clap! I haven’t got the answer yet for my question!
Ruben : Vocal, you sing, Ooo-Lala
[Ended up with the shoulder tapping scene]
Haruka : We started to learn how to sing when we joined AKB48. No vocal training beforehand.
[The audience calling and dancing scene]
Ruben : A big thanks for all the audiences for still having the spirit even when we’re really late at night now.
Ruben : Daniel! Do you have any questions to the girls ?
Daniel : For them ?
Ruben : Yup
Denny : What do you want to know from JKT48 ? I heard you are a certain band fan that hail from Japan ?
Daniel : Yes I am. And that’s why I actually know a little bit Japanese
Nycta : Try it, try it!
Daniel : “Kimochii~” it means “Feels good”
Akicha & Haruka : “Enak!”
Daniel : And then “Yamete! Yamete!” it means “Stop!”
Ruben : Yamete! Yamete!
Akicha : Yamete! Yamete!
Haruka : Yamete! Yamete!
Daniel : “Iku! Iku~~!” which means “I’m Cu…” I mean “I’m Out~~!”
Nycta : I have this strong feeling the words came from…
Daniel : No no, it’s not what like you’re thinking. I learnt it all from my Japanese video collections.
[Denny already laughed here]
[Haruka and Akicha started to laugh after a brief realization from what kind of videos Daniel learn that words]
Denny : Haha, they understood as well.
[TN : Only Daniel, Denny, Akicha, Haruka understand the jokes while the rest of the audiences not ? We need more exposure to JAV here! RCTI, do it!]
Nycta : Seems like the audiences not really understood what’s behind the laughter between these guys. That’s why you should start watching Japanese videos!
Daniel : Especially when the actress is Maria…
Nycta : Mercedes ?
Ruben : Ah! Ozawa! Ozawa right ?
Daniel : Yes
Ruben : Miyabi ?
Daniel : Who’s that ? [Playing Stupid]
Ruben : The hell are you guys talking about, I don’t understand.
Daniel : So I really love this Japanese band named L’arc~en~Ciel
Denny & Haruka : Laruku
Daniel : Yeah, Laruku. That’s what I like. Anyway, I wanna ask something to these girls. How do you girls think of Indonesian male ?
Haruka : Gantang
Ruben : Gantang ?
Akicha : Gantang
Daniel : Oh, Ganteng! [Handsome]
Ruben : Gantang!
Akicha and Haruka : Gantang!
Ruben : Thank you very much!
Denny and Ruben : Ganteng
Haruka and Akicha : Ganteng!
Denny : So, I really am curious. I already know that they perhaps spend a year or two here, what does their parents feels about that ?
Haruka : Our family is like “Good bye, Take care”.
Ruben : Why does it sounds like their family doesn’t give a damn care…
Haruka : Our family is really supportive towards this student exchange program actually.
Ruben : Ah I get it. So it’s like : “For a success then go ahead, we are really supportive to your career”
Akicha & Haruka : Yes!
Denny : In which area do you live in Japan ?
Haruka & Akicha : Himitsu! [It’s a Secret!]
Ruben : Another question from me, they perhaps started to know Indonesia when they were still in school. What does the girls know about Indonesia the first time ?
Akicha : Bali!
Ruben : Oh! Bali!
Akicha : I really really wanna go there one day!
Ruben : Relax, “Sedap Malam” will give you girls ticket to Bali for free!
[TN : Which is another lie]
Nycta : I wanna ask Mas Daniel, what is your next plan in the near future ?
Daniel : Well, my company have just produced a movie called “Killers”, a psychological thriller that will be released in 2014. We partnered with a Japanese production house named Nikkatsu and it will be composed with both Japanese and Indonesian casts. We have Kitamura Kazuki on the cast which I believe these girls also know.
Ruben : Last question to the girls, what would you like to achieve in the future ?
Haruka : I really want to be the number one actress in Asia.
Akicha : While me, I want to be an actress that everyone will still remember for good.
Ruben : Their dream is really amazing and in-line with our topic today, Beyond Limit. They’re still young but able to achieve many things in life. Age doesn’t determine your success. It’s your way of thinking, and you hard work which determines your success!
