[Verse 1]
Sudah berapa tahun lalu?
Sekolah yang kurindukan
Berbunyi suara bel yang sudah usang
Ada di sebelah kenangan
Gubuk yang berwarna biru
Lorong koridor juga sekarang diperbaiki

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Di lapangan sekolah
Berdiri sendiri
Bentangkan tangan
Menutup mata

[Chorus 1]
Diriku masih jalani hidup keluguanku
Yang saat itu kukenakan, Sneakers
Semua hal pasti suatu saat akan memudar
Meskipun akan menjadi usang bagiku
Harta milikku

[Verse 2]
Belakangan ini aku
Menjual motor skuterku
Hari ini pun aku berjalan kaki ke sini
Guru pemarah yang dulu
Melemparku dengan kapur
Dari jendela ruang guru melambaikan tangan

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Di pohon yang besar
Kutempelkan telinga
Hari kutemukan
Suara angin

[Chorus 2]
Sekarang aku mempertanyakan masa remaja
Yang tak kupakai sejak itu, Sneakers
Dikatai kotor, pasti takkan aku maafkan
Jalan seperti apakah yang kulalui
Sampai ke sini

[Interlude]

[Chorus 1]
Diriku masih jalani hidup keluguanku
Yang saat itu kukenakan, Sneakers
Semua hal pasti suatu saat akan memudar
Meskipun akan menjadi usang bagiku
Harta milikku

JKT48 is an Indonesian idol group whose name is derived from its based city of Jakarta and the Japanese idol group AKB48. Formed in 2011, it is the first AKB48 sister group outside Japan and adopts the concept of “idols you can meet”. Fans can attend daily performances at the group’s theater, which was built as a close replica to the AKB48 Theater in Akihabara.

Producer Yasushi Akimoto decided to bring the AKB48 concept to Indonesia because the group had begun to develop a fan base in the country. Indonesia’s growing economy was seen as a potential market by many Japanese companies, and Akimoto established a franchising partnership with Dentsu Media Group Indonesia to replicate the AKB48 business model. Dentsu Media Group Indonesia then cooperate with the country’s largest media conglomerate Global Mediacom (MNC Media), the southeast Asia’s largest and most integrated media group as JKT48 official media partner.

While JKT48 does not restrict membership by nationality, applicants must be residents of Indonesia. The group has 72 (as of June 2014) members and released its first studio album Heavy Rotation on 16 February 2013 via Hits Records, a division of MNC subsidiary PT Star Media Nusantara. It performs songs by AKB48 and other sister groups that are translated into Indonesian.
