Live Report Show 1 “Introducing JKT48” Concert
The show is located in Tennis Indoor Senayan, about 300 meters from fX Sudirman. Not that far if we compare it with the distance between AKB48 Theater and Tokyo Dome (1830 meters).
Outside the area there were ticket boxes and merchandise booths. Today, for OFC members, they can earn 1 additional ticket free for show 1 and 2 (tomorrow afternoon). Audiences can also bought the tickets on the spot. There is also Pocari Sweat ticket booth, for you who won the ticket from the brand’s online contest. I came to the area around 3 PM, and the ticket box was empty. This morning, a friend of mine queue for about half an hour for the additional ticket.
There was also official merchandise booth that has 2 queuing lines. A line for you who only wanted to buy merchandises such as photo packs, pins, original booster lightstick with JKT48 insignia, and regular CDs (Heavy Rotation, River, or the newest one, Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka?). There’s also another line for you who want to buy Yuuhi wo Miteiru ka? theater edition with individual handshake tickets. There are also giant banners showing the handshake schedule, which will be held in September.
You may enter the concert area anytime. There will be body checks twice. You can’t bring any food, drinks, and camera inside. I brought with me a binocular, and it was fine. Then you will come to the ticket checking point where you have to show your electronic ticket.
Inside the concert area (still outside of the Tennis Indoor building), there were many booths, from the sponsors and several food stalls. Around 5 PM there are already people queuing for each entry point. Around 6 PM it was opened and you may come inside the building. There was another body check. You can’t bring any food or drink inside the concert building. So make sure your stomach is full before enter the building.
Today I was sitting on the center tribune area upstairs. It’s not far from the stage. You still can see the stage clearly, though you can’t see clearly the performers’ face. That’s why I brought a binocular with me today. Before the show started, center tribune seats were full. The festival seats were also 90% full. The standing area was also quite packed. The side tribune areas upstairs were not too full, since these areas are really not great for viewing purpose.
Show began around 7:30 PM, with Melody as today’s shadow announcer, an introduction of the concert full with sponsored ad libs within it.

Overall today’s show is really fantastic. There are 2 LEDs on left and right side that show live feed of the show. The camera was great. There are at least 4 cameras I saw around the stage documenting the show. I believe this would make a very good DVD (if they will ever release it).
So who’s excited about Show 2 and Show 3 this afternoon and tonight?
I will be there also, hopefully I could give you full report later about both shows.
yea you reported easily because you’re in the media pit :v
I’m not in the media actually. I’m not even a media person. Never work and won’t ever work in the media business.
oh my god I want to listen to Jakarta’s version of JKT48 so bad.
The lyric has Senayan, Mangga Dua, and several malls mentioned.
I’ll be there also at the center tribune for show 1,maybe we can meet up and watch toghether
I’ll probable be there around 12:00. I sit on Festival today (both shows). You may contact my line: anakcerdas.
Um, no camera inside. So nobody can capture the show 1? But I hope someone will up the video on tube very soon. I thinl mobile can get the live image, even though camer is not approved
Actually there’s someone who manage to do a fancam of Overture + Heavy Rotation. I don’t know he manage to smuggle such handycam, since there were 3 times of bodycheck. I can’t put the link here, of course.
someone already upload yesterday show fancam, only overture+heavy rotation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWamhqLsKjM&feature=youtu.be&a
cool summer theme seifuku!
So because of Yona there you put 1234 Yoroshiku perform with really really great performance. while river only great because no Yona there?
*kidding bro* but ytd was great, definitely got addicted. different that theater ^^ i wish they perform theater setlist on a concert also, like AKB did before :). regarding Yona slip, only Yona oshi and Hana oshi that seen this i think…. 
why Hanna, because hanna try to help Yona 
(i didn’t see this, but my friend who hanna oshi saw it)
Haha, may be Yona slipped because of the maintenance guy who cleaned the floor earlier before the sub unit performs
For me, I’m using my binocular for almost the whole show, that’s why I noticed.
Whoa, you will attend all 3 shows? That will be about 1 miliion Rupiah
It’s still few days after payroll time
Besides, the dude probably single..
hihihi .. if you want to know more about what I work for, you may just google my name
Actually I also an OFC member, so for show 1 and 2 I can get each 1 free additional ticket, that I sold to few friends. That makes show 1 and 2 is half of the original price.
