My Bag
I often bring snacks, umeboshi, and books. And recently, one thing that attract me the most is making a rubber ball using stacked balloons.
Spoiled Kid at Home
Rena actually can only speak Japanese and English. When she just joined JKT48, she always ‘stick’ to Ayana who can speak Japanese. But gradually, Rena could communicate with other members in JKT48 as well. Even though she can’t speak Indonesian fluently, it turns out to be her charming point. Rena often have difficulties, and she is quite often practicing on her own to catch up with other members.
On her debut performance in Jakarta, ” I’m happy I succeed MC-ing and can change my costume quickly, although I always have difficulty with it on practice”
When she is at home, she really like Japanese traditional food, such as Umeboshi (pickled plum) or Natto with white rice, and she doesn’t like meat. Her mom said that Rena still sleep with her mom at night, and she has never been involved in romance?!

Want to keep showing my smile to you
“I have the feeling of wanting to keep showing my smile to you guys. Because of that I will always keep smiling,” said Rena.
Since the JKT48 theater opened, the amount of times Rena performed is the most in Team J. Her TV debut was on 18th December 2011, Rena danced at the first floor of f(x) mall in a small stage and it was the first time a handshake event was held.
“At that time, the seats weren’t completely filled. Now, every day there are over 300 people coming to the theater,” said Rena while smiling.
Rena’s target now is to memorize Indonesian.
“Since the beginning, I couldn’t really speak in front of crowds, but now I can. I want to increase my vocabulary so I can speak in more difficult conversations.”
