[Verse 1]
Kota saat turun gerimis, terasa sunyi
Cinta yang mendekatkan kita meski tiada payung

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Saat perpisahan, kita hanya saling memandang

[Chorus]
Menatapmu, sayonara
Andai bisa kukatakan
Aku tidak bisa menyeka
Air matamu sekarang

[Verse 2]
Hati yang basah karena hujan, menjadi berat
Warna di sekitar kita menghilang, jadi monokrom

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Apakah yang bisa aku lakukan untuk dirimu?

[Chorus]
Menatapmu, sayonara
Andai bisa kukatakan
Darimu kutahu
Kebaikan adalah kekuatan
Tak boleh lagi hentikan
Waktu di antara kita
Lebih dari ini
'Kan menambah kesedihan

[Bridge]
Kenangan kita yang selalu ada
Itu hanya akan melukai dirimu saja
Maafkanlah, sayonara
Ingin aku ucap tapi
Bibirku bergerak
Tanpa suara...

[Chorus]
Maafkanlah, sayonara
Ini adalah salahku
Bahumu mendekat
Aku lari dan memeluk kamu
Menatapmu, sayonara
Andai bisa kukatakan
Rintik tak berhenti
Kita berdua basah dalam hujan

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.
