Memories Will Never Fade
Hello You…
Yes You…We’ve known each other for almost three years.
I still remember the first time we met at the training ground when I said “Who’s this? Japanese?” and you still don’t know how to speak Bahasa Indonesia and still relying on your English to communicate (laugh). Since you have a very long hair at that time, you always ended up with a pigtail. You still remember don’t you?
I first thought you were a way too serious a person, hard to have some fun. Perhaps it was the language factor playing part.
But slowly but surely, I’m getting to understand that all you want is to become close to us, I know that you want to have more talk with us and that’s why you always try your best to understand what we were talking about and trying to speak Bahasa Indonesia fluently. And slowly but surely, I know that you are not that way too serious as a person. I can even say that you know how to get crazy, but that’s what makes us felt comfortable around you!
So many things happened in these past three years, yeah?
I still remember the first time we shot for Pocari and I slept in the same room with you and Kak Dhike. I called her Kak Resky at that time and you asked me what “Kak” means. I explained it to you that “Kak” is used to addressed an older person. And from that point on, you try your best to call everyone with “Kak”. And from that point on too, I admire you a lot
I still remember when I lost my passport, and you were there, hugging me. “Relax, we will find it, I’m sure. I’m sure we will come home together,” is what you said to me…I will never ever forget that moment.
What funny is, you were the first one who called me “Aunty” which then went viral like a fire. But I want you to know that that nickname really is a boost to me. Through that one word alone, I can always remember you!
I still remember that day, yeah, the day I thought going to be just another theater day ended up with despair. It all happened so fast when you said you have to move. I was so sad at that time..But on the other hand, I’m also happy that you can now join AKB48, your dream destination!
Days went so fast…And yesterday is your last time as a JKT48 member performance with us. I don’t know what to do, I’m so upset but I’m also happy as well and sure that the Rena that I know is a strong willed girl and will reach a success in AKB48! The road will not be easy, but remember us, okay? Us, who will always pray for you from here and will always support you.
Because it’s you, who will never be apart from us.
Because it’s you, who will always be forever in our heart.
Even though you no longer a part of JKT48, but for us, you are still a part of JKT48 team J!Let’s meet again sometimes, okay? I want you to promise me that when the time comes for us to meet again, you have attained a much more success compared to now. Pray for us too from the faraway land, okay?
All the success and all the smile for you, our friend, our dearest friend, our family member…
Rena Nozawa, we all love you!
Shania’s G+ Post
Japanese Translation by Tokyo Pop
I will miss Rena so much. Even I haven’t met her. Rena, please do your best in AKB48 and don’t forget your team mates in JKT48 Team J.
And for shania, your message to Rena was makes me touched. Proud to be a Shanjunisme. You both, Ganbatte~
Shania was not the only one who typed farewell letters you know..
wait, what she is to you? ah, she is your oshi-menba right? now that explain :bean face:
Any links for the others letters? a long one and not tweets is preferable.
LOL. Benimaru with his usual brainless commentary.
Ya, I know. She is not the only one who typed farewell letter.
Once again, Ya. She is my oshi. BTW, the way you speak is annoying
I believe he meant that for me
it was intentionally meant to annoyed certain someone
anyway, back to topic, if me not wrong, several fans said that Devi and Beby also typed their heart feeling.. maybe you can try check their G+..
oh yea, one last off topic, regarding the donation, have you made an indonesian bank account for the donation yet?
Now who? To NomaDen or Me?
Anyway, Kinal last posted yesterday and it’s more like a summary of the concert with Rena’s part at the end of her story. I mean a complete letter/post like that, directed solely to Rena.
In regards to donation: Nope, still can’t find any method where we can change that Rupiahs into Dollars in Digital Wallet now.
so our rupiahs still useless then.. well, just keep us inform whenever you found any solution regarding this.
If that your style of speaking, that’s okay
Back to topic, I have read Rena’s letter. The one that she reads to all fans in the concert. And for the letter from the other member, I haven’t read it
Awesome! Can you took a picture of that letter? I want to collect all letters from the concert and compile it into an article if possible
How in the world did you manage to read Rena’s letter!? Rena did not post that letter on her G+ or twitter. She only read that letter to all fans in the concert. Some fans created the summary of said letter based on their memories and posted it. That summary of Rena’s letter (created by fans) was highly likely the one you actually read.
it’s a small resolution pict. do you still want it?
I’ll post it
After I search for a better image, I found this

Thanks!
That’s NOT Rena’s letter! That’s a summary of Rena’s letter which was created by some fans. I don’t deny the contents of the letter though. That’s more or less what she said.
Its nice story… “Rena and JKT48 story”
I think not only Shania who have nice story like it, …but this time she is “most in feeling”….
Semangat Rena-Chan
