Narrator : Hello MNCTV viewers! We meet again in Celebrity Diary, A reality show that peek into behind the scene of celebrities. So who the celebrity for today episode be ? Here ya go, JKT48!
Narrator : Can’t wait to meet the girls! And in turns out for the introduction, the girls were playing bowling with not only with the 26 of themselves but also with the fans.
Melody : So this is our special bowling event with the fans. I’m currently changing to the bowling shoes. There’s going to be 18 teams competing, and for each team there’s going to be each one of us there. We gonna play together with around 4 of our fans.
Delima : I’m currently practicing on how to hold this bowling ball and aim for the pins. So we gonna have to do it in 4 steps. Lemme show it to you.
Delima : One, two, three and four~ [slipped]
Delima : This ball is way too heavy~
Ochi : Delima, what are you doing there with my marble ?
Delima : Yep, we gonna do bingo, taking out turns with numbers~
Putri (Official) : Rica, number 5! Delima, 18!
Narrator : Without further ado, let’s see how the members tried their best to score a strike! Hmm…I wonder who is the best at this game. Let’s see it then!
[Snippet of the 17 girls and 
playing the games together with the fans]
Ochi : I failed~ . I tried twice and both of them straightly legally gutter.
Narrator : Scoring starts! Hmm..Wonder which team wins.
Cindy : I got three points!
Ochi : I got uh….26
Rica : I got 39 points!
Gaby : I got 20~
Narrator : Yep, we got our champion. Anyway, let’s take a look at how the girls interacted and somehow weirdly punishing the fans who lost the game. Hmm.. I wonder what kind of punishments did the fans get.
Jeje : That guy over there, he always making jokes while playing. Look look, look at his face, he really looks like [some actor here, I swear I don’t know who]. He’s so funny.
Narrator : These girls are all prankster aren’t they ? So I wonder what the winner will get ?
[Winner snippet, two shot section with one of the fans requesting Ve to make a love sign together with him resulting in Ve blushing. “Malu~”, she said. Malu=I’m shy=Hazukashi~ ]
Narrator : After we see their bowling activities with the fans, let us see their real face when they fall asleep~
Delima : They’re sleeping soundly~
Jeje : We have Kak Melody here and also Gaby
Jeje : And lookie here. They hide their face even while sleeping. Usually they’ll just go gaping, snoring, half-opened eye while sleeping. But since we are currently in a public open space, they hide their face before going to sleep and thus, this.
Jeje : Look at Beby there. And there we have Ghaida. She’s smart, she brings her own pillow.
Narrator : They are really cute aren’t they. Not only that, the girls will also show the traditional Japanese dress, Yukata.
Jeje : Okay, so.. Yukata… Yukata really looks like a kimono in a sense, but Yukata designation is more for su~
Cindy : It’s for Summer~
Jeje : Yep, summer.
Jeje : And another special things is the Obi with so many patterns and style.
Cindy : There’s also one with cute dolls hanging on the Obi.
Jeje : And we gonna wear a pair of clog too which have distinct difference between man and woman. [TN: She meant “Geta” here]
Jeje : The “Masculine” one will have a more squared shape and bigger.
Sendy : Hello everyone~
Dhike : Hello~
Stella : So, we gonna see a special performance
Sendy : Yep, and there they are over there, one of the performers named..uh..
Stella : Dasakoi!
Sendy : Dasakoi
Stella : Ah! Dosakoi!
[TN : Or perhaps she meant Dosukoi as in Sumo term ? Aaa-Dosukoi-Dosukoi!]
Sendy : Viewers, this is the unique dance that has already been mixed between Indonesian dance and Japanese dance.
Narrator : Really unique. Anyway, while we were at it, JKT48 apparently have their own original Japanese as a member! But what strange is..while we interviewing her, she spoke in Indonesia and also Javanese!
Rena : Kumaha damang~ [“How are you?” in Sundanese] , Piye Kabare~ [“How are you?” in Javanese]
Interviewer : -inaudible-
Rena : Thank you~
Jeje : Her Indonesian is already good.
Rena : I learn Bahasa Indonesia since I joined JKT48, approximately a year ?
Jeje : 10 months
Rena : Yep, 10 months
Rena : I wanna ask for Takoyaki as a “souvenir”
Jeje : So you do love Takoyaki. What else then ?
Rena : Umm..A lot
Jeje : Well then, tell me
Rena : Hmm…what else…I like Okonomiyaki, I also really loves Indonesian food.
Rena : -Speaks Japanese-
Text on Screen : Buy the dictionary okay.. [TN : Perhaps implying : *For those who don’t understand. Go buy the dictionary and learn the language*]
Narrator : Viewers, if we talk about JKT48 members, it’s not complete without highlighting their pranks towards each others. And talking about their pranks, one of the girls brought a cockroach with her as her prank medium. Eeew..yuck!
[Stella’s scream]
Ayana : It’s a cockroach~
Shania : Well…as you guys already know. JKT48 members are all prankster. So..one of us brought that plastic cockroach toy here..
[Ayana also screaming]
Shania : Show the viewers, show the viewers
[TN : Stella took revenge on…Frieska. And Frieska..she goes bananas. Anyway, Sendy’s mouth here said something along the line of “Jahat/Cruel/Hidoi” ]
Stella : Frieska..I’m really sorry
Frieska : It’s still disgusting even though it’s just a plastic model!
Stella : The cockroach is gone now, away from earth
Frieska : Really ?
Stella : Yep
Frieska : Lie! I hate it!
Stella : She still scared of this plastic cockroach.
[TN : Stella still holding the roach….she truly is evil 
]
Narrator : The Roach tragedy have sparked anger. But then, the show must go on. [TN: Tragedy ? Anger ? I wonder how much more hyperbolic the script writer can go ? ]
Delima : The other girls MC-ing on the stage while we already prepared ourselves with Yukata here.
[Rena declined to talk to the camera since she still guarding the front door and protecting some of her comrade that were still changing inside]
[A while later..]
Rena : I usually donned Yukata while I’m in Japan in a matsuri event like this. So yeah, I often wear Yukata.
Ve : We gonna sing “Kimi no Koto ga Suki Dakara” but in a different version.
Cindy : And in Yukata ♥
[Snippet of theater and meet and greet]
Narrator : Cool huh ? After the theater, all the members then formed a line and getting ready for their next session, high touch session. I bet the girls are tired right now.
Jeje : That’s all folks!
Kinal : Got me self an eyeglasses lassies. Harry Potter style.
Kinal : Cute huh ? And we also got so many encouragements from the fans
Cindy : I’m really surprised~
Kinal : Something like…this
Cindy and Kinal : “Always support Kinal”
Kinal : Proud of my fans!
Cindy : And this one “Ganbatte Kak Kinal!” [TN: She added her own “Kak” there as a polite form while addressing someone older, The paper says just “Ganbatte Kinal” tho’]
Kinal : And this one, it’s so cool, unfortunately my name is written as “Devi” here. [TN : In Sundanese dialect, V and F in general often mistakenly read as P. Thus, “Depi” , which Kinal hate] . But it’s okay.
Cindy : Kak Kinal first name is Devi teehee
Kinal : Shush!
Kinal : Cute right ? the fans always gave us supports. So like this gifts, we usually kept it stored somewhere save, and when we feeling down or something, we will re-read it again and again. Which in turns, gave our fighting spirits back.
Diasta : We are currently going to do a rehearsal. It’s night currently and it’s pretty slippery on the stage, gotta be more careful.
[Snippet of the “Flashmob Concept” rehearsal show. TN : I’ve watched that show on YouTube and that show is not “Flashmob” whatsoever when there are no surprise elements involved to the general audiences. It’s like “Hey, we gonna do a group dance cover routine in front of the idols! watch us!” . And the “Concept” addition isn’t helped much. D’oh!]
Narrator : JKT48 are nothing without their fans. And that means the girls have to endure hefty schedule just to make their fans happy. And the mutual relationship extend themselves with gifts from the fans.
Nabilah : Whose flower is this again ?
Ochi : You, there’s a label on it right ?
Nabilah : Ah yes.
Ochi : Oh, you got yourself a shirt as a gift, don’t forget to wear it later on ‘kay ?
Nabilah : ‘Kay. What does the shirt says…. “STOP..THE.. BRAWL” ?? Do I looked like a girl who participated in a mass hooliganism ?
Nabilah : So uh..when in meet and greet, I talk about the recent high school hooliganism, so I think that’s why I got this shirt now.
Narrator : And now it’s time for them to go to the “MNCTV” Flasmob show. But…when they arrived at the backstage, rather than doing things girls usually do, they messaging each others instead.
Nabilah (Sitting on top Shania) : Well… I’m an ex pro-masseur. So before I joined JKT48, this is my main field of work. Call me if you have back pain.
Shania : Hurry it up, massage me already! Dek, do it seriously dek. [TN : Dek, a short and informal form of Adik/Dik. Can also be translated as ‘Lil sweet sis or Imouto-chan in this case]
Nabilah : I am! As usual! Being your ‘lil sis doesn’t always mean I’m not serious in massaging you~
Shania : -laugh-
Ochi : Pasar Minggu Rp.5000 , Blok M Rp.10.000 [TN : She acting as a cycle rickshaw driver offering her services]
Narrator : Aside from massaging each others, the girls are also often sharing their deepest secrets. Such as this
Kinal : Hello~ , Now it’s time for dinner! We have a lot of foods available here. So yeah, eat is a must.
Sonya : Eat~ Let’s eat~
Kinal : Except this one! this one here, she has to go through a diet routine! When we looked back at her audition video we were very shocked at how thin Kak Sendy was, but now..
Sendy : I was 40 Kg back then.
Kinal : And now ?
Sendy : 50 Kg -laugh- . I dunno, it might be more than that
Kinal : Well as long as you’re healthy then
Jeje (As usual with her unique anti-idol attitude, using “Gue/Ore” instead of “Aku/Atashi” and sitting like a baws) : Well..I..was 40 Kg I guess. Now I’m at 42 Kg.
Kinal : It’s weird here, we were told to diet, but there are so many foods from A to Z.
Jeje : Yeah! We were getting a warning not to get too fat, but we also got so many foods available anytime, anywhere -laugh-
Jeje : Now we got the food supply limited a little bit, but we got another high calorie intake options with our drinks. Like pasteurized full cream milk and so forth. So in the end, we buy our own Soy Milk.
[The make up scene with Nabilah commenting about how Shania is a flirt with her eyelashes extension]
Cameraman : Done yet Nabilah ?
Nabilah : Yup, next is my hair-do
Cameraman : Your eyelashes done too?
Nabilah : -laugh- Yup, that’s too
