Twitter lit-up. Various people tweeted that they saw JKT48 Members in Akihabara. But the question is, what the hell are they doing in Akiba? Do they have some kind of future show to be aired in Japan?

本日ツイッターに、「JKT48のメンバーを秋葉原で見た!」という情報提供が相次いだ。でも、彼女たちはアキバで今頃何をしてるんだろう?噂されているTV番組の収録を日本でしてるのだろうか?
以下、どうぞご覧下さい(※ずーっと下までスクロールダウンしてね)
Here’s some of the Twitter feeds :
これがそのツィートです。

1. To Ayana and Haruka : I just saw two girls wearing JKT48 T-shirts in Akiba
2. I just saw JKT48 members!
3. JKT girls are cute! (lol)
4. It really is JKT girls
5. Looks like there are some JKT members here
6. There’s JKT in Akiba (laugh)
7. JKT48 Members (perhaps) are strolling around Akiba
Whoa, wait wait. I’m pretty much sure we have something in surprise here by the management.
What do you think about the girls doing there in Akiba? Any information? Please do let us know!
おっと、ちょっと待ってくれ。これはJKT48のマネジメントが得意のサプライズというやつか。

Which then again, NOT . In the spirit of the (already) past April Fools; I bring you, two cuties that shook Akiba today without any malice intent at all :
実はこれエプリルフールみたいな話なんだけど、ここらで種明かし。本日アキバを驚かせた二人の可愛い女の子には全く悪気はなかったとをまず言っておこう。

Yep, these two innocent girls were just strolling around Akiba happily with their JKT48 T-Shirts and speaking in Bahasa Indonesia while at it. And that caused some commotions and rumors about JKT48 members whereabouts. Thank you for giving us a smile in these gloomy days girls! And I hope either one of you auditioned in the next phase (Seriously speaking here)
One of them (Erika) commented after I ask her :
“It was very interesting! Everybody looked at us & believed that we are real JKT48 members ‘cuz we were speaking Indonesian language”
Make sure to visit Erika’s Twitter and say Hi to the I-hope-soon-to-be real member at @erikakuswan99 !
Thanks once again Erika for giving us the smile we really need! Oh, and management! Get these two girls! like Nao!
この無邪気な二人はJKT48のTシャツを着てアキバをぶらついたんだけど、インドネシア語を話していたこともあって、「JKT48がいるよ!」とちょっとした騒ぎになったようだ。僕らの退屈な日常にスマイルをもたらしてくれた二人に感謝。まじめな話、次のオーディションに応募したらよいと思う。
二人のうちの一人、エリカさんはツィッターでJKT48Stuffの質問に答えてくれた。
JKT48Stuff:きょう一日メンバーになった気持ちはどう?このことをウエブに書きたいんだけど?
エリカさん:楽しかったです。みんな私たちのことを見て本物のJKT48だと思ったみたい。インドネシア語で話してたからかな。
JKT48Stuff:おおそうだったんだ、記事を書いたら知らせるね。
エリカさん:OK,いいですよ
JKT48Stuff:アップしたよ。ずっーと下までスクロールしてね。
エリカさん:わあ、いいですね。ありがとう!3期生オーディション受けてみようかな
JKT48Stuff:応援するよ、頑張ってね!
エリカさん:ありがとう、ところであなたはインドネシア人ですか?
JKT48Stuff:そう、スタッフにはインドネシア人もいるし外国人もいるよ
エリカさん:そうなんだ、私はインドネシア人と日本人のハーフなんです
JKT48Stuff:さっきTokyo Popがコメントしてたのは当りだったね
エリカさん:はい、読みました
JKT48Stuff:ほんと、記事にさせてくれてありがとう。それにみんなを楽しい思いをさせてくれて。じゃあ、元気でね!

Haha,good job ladies!
They speak Japanese perfectly,but speak Indonesian,too? Huh? they grew up in a bilingual family in Japan,maybe.
…so they like Ayana …??? …half japanese ‘n indonesian …??? …well, they almost got me if i didn’t saw carefully their T-Shirt …hahaha … XD …
…..I’ve been had by this post……
those two are real japanese?
if it is, then it’s really cool.. consider real japanese trying to cosplay as JKT members (which indicate that JKT already widely accepted by japan people..)
wow Erena Ono become JKT48 member. somehow that girl in looks like Erena Ono (right picture). Ok i know there something wrong with my eyes.
Wow, they are cute. Those two should try gen 3 audition in the future
Frankly,I don’t think that JKT48 becomes very popular among Japanese people so far. But,Japanese love a niche information, fashion or life style very much and tend to dislike mass-production items.
So, JKT48 will get hard-core fans here in Japan in the near future. Don’t you think it is pretty cool for JKT girls?
Come to think of it, that is pretty cool! A niche market for them
