Okay, since I’m kind of late in submitting this report and my phone ran out of batteries half way throughout the show, I’ll just do some quick report about what’s really happening last night.

Since I’m queuing in the waiting line, by the time I entered the theater, the shadow announcer already finished her announcement. Then the overture started…

Shonichi: Everybody is (un)usually spirited, I’d say this is their best shonichi I’ve ever seen yet.
Hissatsu Teleport: The crowd is getting excited, even the girls that usually criticized the most can be seen trying their hardest.
Gokigen Naname na Mermaid & Futari Nori no Jitensha: Not much to say, I’m just enjoying this two songs since they performed well and the crowd is still in high gear

MC2: What kind of talk that made male looks sexy. members who participating: Della, Sinka, Nichan, Nat, Uty
Since my phone ran out of batteries just when they’re about to start talking, I can’t write a notes about what they’re talking about. I only remember that Della said a guy looks the sexiest when they’re confessing about their feelings to the girls they like.

Two Years Later: The Audience is kind of slowing down in chanting, but the girls still spirited.
Inochi no Tsukaimichi: The last time I saw their performance, usually they already run out of stamina, but by now they’re still spirited. Even Nichan looks like didn’t sweating at all.(monologue by Kariin: “Kak, tatap mata ku dalam-dalam” (Kak, look deeply into my eyes))
Kissu Shite Son Sichatta: Not much to tell, but still an enjoyable performance (Name shout by Dena: Irvan (one of JOT staff member))

MC3: Sang some old song from the 90s and 80s. Members who participating: Sinka, Nichan, Dena, Uty, Via, Kariin, Rachel, Della.
They sang some songs from the 90s even Uty sang a song from Koes Plus. Kariin kind of confused in picking which song that she would like to sing since mostly the song that she knows either came from Anime or Games. While Sinka, Nichan, and Dena form a trio a sing a song that I couldn’t remember

Then, Boku no Sakura, their expression is “whoah”, just “whoah”. And then after a few minutes somebody from the right start shouting “Ankoru”

After about two or three minutes, the Backdancer came out and dancing with the interlude of Wasshoi J, after that they’re doing their jikou and start talking about something that I can’t remember.

Then the main performer came with Wasshoi J. They’re jumping like somebody that’s trying to save herself from drowning. And when Suifu wa Arashi ni Yume wo Miru, the audience that has finished recharging their spirited started to chanting with full power once again. Shiroi Shirt ended the setlist for that night, but then they said they had a bonus song for us. Then they performed Kimi no Koto ga Suki Dakara, even the audience beside me that was just silently watching from the start performance started to chant in high passion.

Finished with Kimisuki, they told us to still a little bit to watch some videos. But instead of video, the screen shows us some count down, and then the screens shows an announcement: Pajama Drive show by JKT48 trainee Senshuuraku, 12-05-2013! Everybody in the theater is in uproar. then screens tells JKT48 Trainee new setlist. It’s Boku no Taiyou! Almost everybody jumped from their seat from happiness of this news. The some of the girls couldn’t hide their tears!

BRAVO JKT48 Team Trainees!
