[Verse 1]
Jika kamu merasa bahagia
Semoga saat ini 'kan berlanjut
Selalu selalu selalu ku akan terus berharap
Walaupun ditiup angin
Ku akan lindungi bunga itu

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cinta itu suara yang
Tak mengharapkan jawaban
Tapi dikirimkan satu arah
Di bawah mentari tertawalah!
Menyanyi! Menari! Sebebasnya!

[Chorus 1]
Karena kusuka, suka dirimu
Ku akan selalu berada di sini
Walau di dalam keramaian
Tak apa tak kau sadari (Aku suka!)
Karena kusuka, suka dirimu
Hanya dengan bertemu denganmu
Perasaanku jadi hangat
Dan menjadi penuh

[Verse 2]
Di saat dirimu merasa resah
Berdiam diri aku mendengarkan
Kuberi payung yang kupakai 'tuk hindari hujan
Air mata yang terlinang
Kan kuseka dengan jari di anganku

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cinta bagai riak air
Meluas dengan perlahan
Yang pusatnya ialah dirimu
Walaupun sedih jangan menyerah!
Kelangit! Impian! Lihatlah!

[Chorus 2]
Kapan pun saat memikirkanmu
Bisa bertemu kebetulan itu
Hanya sekali dalam hidup
Ku percaya keajaiban (Ku berharap!)
Kapan pun saat memikirkanmu
Aku pun bersyukur kepada tuhan
Saat ku toleh ke belakang
Ujung kekekalan

[Chorus 1]
Karena kusuka, suka dirimu
Ku akan selalu berada di sini
Walau di dalam keramaian
Tak apa tak kau sadari (Aku suka!)
Karena kusuka, suka dirimu
Hanya dengan bertemu denganmu
Perasaanku jadi hangat
Dan menjadi penuh

[Outro]
Ujung kekekalan

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.
