[Verse 1]
Lebih cepat dari hari di kalender
Aku pun menyingsingkan lengan baju
Matahari pun mulai terasa dekat
Ku rasa musim telah mulai berubah

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Laut nan biru, di tepi pantai itu
Ingin jumpa denganmu
Bertelanjang kaki, bermain air

[Chorus 1]
Poniiteru (Terus melambai) Dihembus angin
Kamu pun berlari (Aku pun berlari) Di atas pasir
Poniiteru (Terus melambai) Kau pun menoleh
Dengan senyumanmu (Senyuman) Musim panas dimulai

[Verse 2]
Mentari sinari ruang kelas
Hawa tepat 'tuk terbuai lamunan
Melihat kamu yang duduk di depanku
Membuat rasa sakit timbul di dada

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Walau ku suka, namun tak terucapkan
Hanya pada sosokmu, ku bisikkan perasaanku

[Chorus 2]
Poniiteru (Membuatku sedih) Di dalam mimpi
Seluruh dirimu (Seluruh diriku) Ingin miliki
Poniiteru (Membuatku sedih) Cinta tak terbalas
Mata pun bertemu (Saat ini) Kita sebatas teman

[Bridge]
Rambut panjangmu yang terkuncir
Ikat polkadot shu-shu
Ikatan cinta itu takkan bisa kutangkap
Jika kusentuh akan menghilang ilusi ini

[Chorus 3]
Poniiteru (Janganlah kau lepas) Tetaplah begitu
Seperti dirimu (Seperti diriku) Kita berlari
Poniiteru (Janganlah kau lepas) Sampai kapan pun
Tetaplah menjadi (Si gadis) Ceria selamanya

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.
