[Intro]
One two three four!

[Verse 1]
Melalui proses panjang akhirnya kita bisa akrab
Tapi musim perpisahan telah tiba
Sampai bisa jadi akrab, sudah berapa kalikah?
Bertengkar dengan teman sekelas

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Memakai seragam warna ungu
Kita berkumpul sepulang sekolah
Di sini, di pohon yang biasanya
Diam sambil menatap ke langit yang biru

[Chorus 1]
Sakura kita makan bersama
Kelopak mekar sempurna
Tertiup angin musim semi
Tangkap selembar kelopaknya
Sakura kita makan bersama
Kelopak bunga di telapak tangan
Sambil berbisik selamat tinggal
Saat aku telan bersama
Dengan semua kenangannya
Terasa air mata

[Verse 2]
Walau tak dapat kuucap dari seluruh kehidupanku
Inilah hari-hari yang sangat indah
Di masa depan pun pasti ada hal-hal membahagiakan
Yang saat ini menanti aku

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ya meskipun ku mengerti
Tapi tak bisa mulai berjalan
Di hari cuaca cerah ini
Membuatku menjadi semakin sedih

[Chorus 2]
Ayo kita makan semuanya
Alasan segala kesedihan
Dalam mulut ini menyebar
Aroma bunga sakura
Ayo kita makan semuanya
Kenangan yang penting sekalipun
Walaupun tidak ada rasanya
Tetapi terasa asin
Di saat akhirnya layu dan gugur
Masa muda usai

[Bridge]
Suatu saat pasti di sini diriku
Akan teringat tentang hari ini
Berkaca-kaca, jadi ingin menangis

[Chorus 3]
Sakura kita makan bersama
Kelopak mekar sempurna
Tertiup angin musim semi
Tangkap selembar kelopaknya
Ayo kita makan semuanya
Alasan segala kesedihan
Dalam mulut ini menyebar
Aroma bunga sakura
Ayo kita makan semuanya
Kenangan yang penting sekalipun
Walaupun tidak ada rasanya
Tetapi terasa asin
Di saat akhirnya layu dan gugur
Masa muda usai
Terasa air mata

JKT48

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.
