Haruka, Rena, and Akicha’s Sousenkyo Appeal Speech

I flew here from Jakarta! Good day everybody, I’m JKT48 – Team J’s Nakagawa Haruka. Anyway, it just so happens that I forgot Japanese, so I will speak in Indonesian from now. Here I go!

I’ve been living for more than a year in Jakarta. Time really flies, huh? I learned a lot of things in Jakarta. In the past, I don’t know how to (live in the country), but now I can. I now know how to speak Indonesian language, I am now okay with the food, and now I know how to say “As-salamu alaykum” and “Wa alaykumu s-salam”*

I’m really happy that I now can speak to Indonesian.

But I can’t do it if I’m alone; So, both fans in Japan and Indonesia, please keep looking at me. (and that) can help me boost my fighting spirit. I’m in your care!

Bye Bye!

Good day, AKB48 team B, Rena Nozawa.

Hello, I want to be your Teddy Bear, I’m a dreamer, not yet a writer, I’m Rena, Nice to meet you!

Today I want everyone to know about me as many as possible. I can speak three different languages. First is, of course, Japanese. I’m pure Japanese; my mother and father are both Japanese. So, I think there is no trouble for me to speak Japanese, though perhaps not that good at speaking a little bit.

I went to English school from childhood, I’m good at English as subject.

And third, Indonesian, it isn’t “Jakarta language”, its Indonesian! I can’t speak Indonesian before I joined JKT48. At first I can’t understand, so I “spoke” by doing gestures, but maybe around six months later I can speak little by little, that made me really close with the other members.

Everyone, I think there is no other members who can speak three different languages except me, so please support me!

Bye Bye!

Hello everyone!

Ryokucha, mugicha, uroncha, but (we prefer) Akicha!

I’m Team B’s Takajo Aki!

My concept for the elections this time is “Happy Life Together” (originally in English)

To live happy times together with the fans. And keeping with the “living together” theme…I brought my lovely doggie Smurf-chan! Smurf-chan, are you OK?

It seems it’s in sleepy mode…anyway, today I’m with Smurf-chan. In the last Great Shuffle, my position changed from concurrency with JKT48 to AKB48 only. So this year I will be much more active in Japan!

So everyone… “happy life together”. I’m counting on your support! Takajo Aki, over and out! Bye bye!

Smurf, are you sleeping…? *chuckle* It’s sleeping! Good night!

Footnote:
* It is actually Arabic, but frequent use in Indonesia since the time when the traders and missionaries from Arab visited Indonesia make it blended well with the language in daily conversation, regardless of religion and race.
