Speculations on JKT48’s Jakarta Concert

We know that the girls are doing concert on 5 cities: Makassar, Solo, Balikpapan, Surabaya, and end in Jakarta. We also know that the first 4 cities show 10 regular single songs that are already seen on television. Add few MC talks in the middle of the show, and that’s it.

Many people expect (and I believe it will be true) that the final show in Jakarta would have different song setlists. There will be 3 shows held in Jakarta, July 3^rd 19:00, July 4^th 13:00, and July 4^th 19:00 at Tennis Indoor Senayan. Kinal already mentioned a while back that each show would feature different songs.

Speculations start happening online. Just like football match, fans are trying to predict what will be different in Jakarta’s show. For you who don’t know, every big show of AKB48 usually is held 3 days sequentially. Each show has different song set list, and also have different kind of surprises. Surprises that so big that usually change the way AKB48 move afterwards.

The show itself usually feature team songs and unit songs, just like in theater. It’s the way of AKB48 families’ show. They will create “story” on each show day, making fans attend every day to see something different. I believe, the same kind of “story” will be happening on next week’s Jakarta show.

There is other few things that I’m sure will be happening next week:

 ► Team KIII and Trainee will accompany Team J in the concert, unlike the first 4 cities.
 ► If the JKT48’s concert follow AKB48’s concert pattern, there will be about 20 songs performed, not 10 songs as performed on the first 4 cities.
 ► Team KIII has a new song already, a version of SKE48’s 1! 2! 3! 4! Yoroshiku! Prepare for other new songs as well, either by Team J, KIII, or even the whole bunch of 51 girls.
 ► If you collect photo packs, I’m sure there will be rare – sold on concert only – photo packs. So prepare your wallet.

These are few selected surprise speculations that are happening on Twitter – whether it’s rumor or not – well, we can see it ourselves next week.

 ► There will be AKB48 members coming as guest? (aside of Aki, Haruka, and Rena, of course)
 ► Expect different performer combination of unit songs from Pajama Drive, Boku no Taiyou, or Renai Kinshi Jourei. So what songs do you think will be performed and by whom?
 ► Member shuffles of Team J and Team KIII, with new captain of each team announced?
 ► Let’s also hope that any kind of surprise won’t involve with any kind of graduation.
 ► Birthday celebration of Sinka Juliani’s birthday either on show 2 or 3.

On your thoughts, what kind of surprises would be expected on next week’s concerts?
