[Verse 1]
Mulai hari ini ku mengenakan
Seragam yang berlengan pendek berwarna putih
Walau musim panas pun belum tiba
Sinar mentari bagai sayap yang direntangkan

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Klub baseball yang menargetkan Koushien
Ku bakar semangatku dan ku melihat debu di lapangan

[Chorus 1]
Keringat itu tak akan pernah berbohong
Kenyataan yang 'kan berkilau terang
Semangat itu takkan pernah mengkhianati
Jika serius mimpi 'kan terkabul
Bagaikan benih usaha yang berbuah
Dan dipetik setelah bersusah payah
Mentari di atasmu itu terus mengamati dirimu

[Verse 2]
Di wastafel sisi gedung sekolah
Kau meminum air langsung dari mulut keran
Kau tidak menggunakan sapu tangan
Melainkan mengusapnya dengan seragammu

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Meratap sendirian tak mengubah apapun
Jika musim penghujan berakhir langit 'kan kembali biru

[Chorus 2]
Keringat itu tetesan seluruh kekuatan
Yang hanya jatuh jika kau serius
Kepuasan dari usaha yang maksimal
Terlepas apa pun hasilnya nanti
Inilah jalan yang telah kita pilih
Jangan menyerah ayo coba raihlah
Kulit yang terbakar itu 'kan jadi bukti semangatmu

[Bridge]
Musim semangat yang akan segera datang
Tak ada penyesalan
Dari sini ayo kita berlari

[Chorus 1]
Keringat itu tak akan pernah berbohong
Kenyataan yang 'kan berkilau terang
Semangat itu takkan pernah mengkhianati
Jika serius mimpi 'kan terkabul
Bagaikan benih usaha yang berbuah
Dan dipetik setelah bersusah payah
Mentari di atasmu itu terus mengamati dirimu

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.
