AKB48 Jyanken Taikai Guidebook 2013 – Akicha and Rena
I will win and change my life!!
► Aki Takajo(JKT48 Team J&AKB48 Team B) VS Ayaka Okita(NMB48 Team M)
I’ll win step by step
“This year I will wear an animal costume again”
After the draw was decided, I talked with Okita Ayaka-chan for the first time. She is a very cheerful girl, so I have to win with my fighting spirit!! Though I checked her Google+, I couldn’t bring myself to add a comment on her page. I’m the “Comment Master*”, but with her as my opponent, I feel kinda embarrassed to post a comment (Laugh).
My lucky charm is a costume. This year I will wear animal costume again**. For an example, I’m thinking in the line of a “strange animal” one which is somehow connected to Jakarta. My tactics are a secret. Because if I said them in the Jyanken book, my opponent will know (Laugh).
I’ll participate as a JKT48 representative, if I get center (position), I will sing in the Indonesian language during the solo section. And of course, I want to shoot the MV at Jakarta!!
*She is called “comment master”. Because she often comments on many members Google+.
**She wore dog costume at 2011, rabbit costume at 2012.
Comment from AKB GM (Mr.Yuasa): She is strong at arm-wrestling, so move that power from arm to hand and be active in Jyanken. To appeal for JKT48, do your best!
The Girl from Overseas That Came to Challenge the Original AKB48
► Rena Nozawa(JKT48 Team J&AKB48) VS Haruna Kojima(AKB48 Team B)
Semangat!!(I’ll do my best!!) I will enter Senbatsu!!
“Though I’m nervous, I will win and want to help promote JKT48”
When the double team position with AKB48 was decided, at first I was filled with nervousness. But JKT48 members, who were always together with me for 2 years said to me “Do your very best as JKT48’s representative!”. Then, I think “I must get rid of this nervousness!”. So, I will use this Jyanken Taikai as a chance to help promote JKT48. My target is to enter Senbatsu carrying the feeling of everyone in Jakarta.
My first match opponent is Kojiharu-san, who is strong at Jyanken. Kind of different from live shows, I can’t practice and do preparation, and with that, my first match opponent is Kojiharu-san. It’s been typical of me that if I win once, then I can win and win like riding on a wave. So, if I can win the first match, I believe that I can enter Senbatsu!!
Comment from AKB GM(Mr.Yuasa): She is double team JKT48 with AKB48. She can speak Japanese, Indonesian and English fluently. Personally, I also want her to enter Senbatsu as JKT48 representative.
Translated from the AKB48 Jyanken Taikai Official Guidebook 2013
Let’s pray for Akicha & Rena so that they can enter Senbatsu through the Janken Tournament..
I hope the final will be Akicha vs Rena
ganbarena….!!! do your best…
Go for it!! akicha-san ~ rena-chan!! I have feeling… they can win it! and they will meet again at final lol!
good luck for both of them.
It would be a great spectacle if the 2 JKT’s really made their way up to the finals and face each other
Looking forward to it!
They won’t meet at the final. IF they can make consecutive wins, they both will meet at Semi-final
Ahh yes ! I was wrong
You right. I thought rena-chan were at other side of table
So they will meet before final if they keep their winning
what dose it mean by being strong at rock-scissor-paper game?
unless you had slow-motion vision, ain’t dat supposed to be pure luck?
Scissors cannot cut rocks ( which means rocks are stronger than scissors). But rocks can be wrapped by papers ( which means papers are stronger than rocks) At the same time paper can be cut by scissors (which means scissors are stronger than papers). “Janken” is the win-loose spiral. “Janken” generally is used, i.e. any games are not determined as score, such as in one soccer game, the score is 2-2, but it shoud be needed to designate the winner. Probably my explanation would be fine
If this is help, it makes me happy, benimaru san 
I believe it to be mostly luck… but there are psychological factors.
There are winning streaks when a person feels they cannot lose, so they stick with the same hand (rock/paper/scissors) and that may influence the person they go up against.
Last years tournament Paruru played the same hand over and over (scissors – except for one time), Nito Moeno had a similar tactic but with paper… when they met in the finals, those two might have been trying to figure each other out, “what is a certain victory?”
The psychological game: Do you change the hand that brought you this far, is your competitor counting on that?
During the first Janken tournament graduated member Nacchan told Miichan that she would throw paper… Nacchan is from the same generation as her and they were long time friends, Miichan didn’t think her friend would actively try and trick her, but by that same token, would you blindly trust something your friend said? A friend who is also your rival?
Akicha revealing her costume is lucky may “psych out” (make the other person lose their feeling of control) the Okita girl.
Rena’s “wave” comment could psych out Kojima and then every girl after that – simply because Rena believes strongly in it, they might believe it too.
… But honestly though, I watch it mostly for the costumes
Akicha should wear a “Komodo” costume, I think. XD
“My lucky charm is a costume. This year I will wear animal costume again. For an example, I’m thinking in the line of a “strange animal” one which is somehow connected to Jakarta.”
Well, I think she will wear costume between Orang Utan (like Dufan mascot), or Komodo. my guess is the former. Do we have another strange animal in Jakarta beside these two?
Dufan mascot is not Orang Utan. The correct one is Bekantan.
Master Dedy Corbuzier will teach Rena how to win in Janken Taikai with Magic
pliss Om Botak, teach your oshimen!
I don’t like the drawing for rena. I want to support her but kojiharu is my kami oshi and I really hope kojiharu will win this jyanken since last year she didn’t enter senbatsu, more of it she speculated to graduate next year so I really hope she will be the centre. Sorry rena-chan.
