[Chorus]
Saka agari, aku hentakkan kaki ke tanah
Matahari pun terlihat ikut berputar

[Verse 1]
Di sudut halaman sekolah yang
Lama tak kukunjungi
Palang senam yang membuatku rindu
Apakah benar sependek ini?
Cuma setinggi pinggang saja
Tapi dulu sangat menakutkan

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Suara jangkrik yang mengingatkan padaku
Blus warna putih
Di musim panas yang dibasahi oleh keringat

[Chorus 1]
Saka agari, aku hentakkan kaki ke tanah
Matahari pun terlihat ikut berputar
Saka agari, jika kita telah tumbuh dewasa
Segalanya akan terlihat berbeda

[Verse 2]
Anak cowok yang kutaksir itu
Berdiri di sebelahku
Berkali-kali dia berputar
Tapi hanya diriku yang gagal
Kuputuskan 'tuk menyerah
Ku hanya bisa tatap punggungnya

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Jari yang lecet dan bau khas besi itu
Seakan ingin
Mengajarkan kepadaku arti cinta pertama

[Chorus 2]
Saka agari, saat ku mulai merasa bisa
Ku mendengar bel pulang sekolah berbunyi
Saka agari, namun saat ku telah berhasil
Di sekitarku cuma ada ku sendiri

[Interlude]

[Chorus 1]
Saka agari, aku hentakkan kaki ke tanah
Matahari pun terlihat ikut berputar
Saka agari, jika kita telah tumbuh dewasa
Segalanya akan terlihat berbeda

[Chorus 3]
Saka agari, entah kenapa aku menangis
Saat ku telah bisa berputar dengan benar
Saka agari, cowok yang kulihat hari itu
Tak mampu diri ini mengatakan suka

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.
