[Verse 1]
The town where we grew up where we learned so much
The streets and skyline that we all knew, Where did it go?
Secret playgrounds and green hills have vanished too
From where I stand right now the view seems unfamiliar

[Pre-Chorus]
Until today fixing my memories day by day
I have grown up but in which direction should I head for?
To the past or the future?

[Chorus]
I wanna go LOVE TRIP, let's go beyond time and space
LOVE TRIP, back to the days
Back to the moment long time ago that we hid deep inside
I was there LOVE TRIP, et me know where I can find you
LOVE TRIP, miss you so much
There was something on my mind in my heart but forgot to tell you!

[Post-Chorus]
Sometimes love will find a place to settle and get overwritten one day
But the first pain and heart aching feeling will never go away
The first time that I met you! Under the blue sky that was so blue

[Verse 2]
Who gently smile at me in the photograph?
At the graduation you were standing right next to me
When it seems like nothing is on the track
I always look ahead to where my dreams will carry me

[Pre-Chorus]
In those days we expected so much in the future
Seems like I have lost the vision that I used to see before
It's now gone slipped out my hand

[Chorus]
I wanna do LOVE TRIP, I will come looking for you
LOVE TRIP, I'll try again
Let us go back to that time once again when there weren't any rules
You were there LOVE TRIP, I wonder what you are up to?
LOVE TRIP, miss you so much
There is something that I wanted to tell you but never could say

[Post-Chorus]
How I've been holding all my feelings back
Have caused so much pain all these years
That lasting feeling of regret is lingering inside my mind
With these words I will tell you, summer will never and till then

[Bridge]
If we were to meet today what are the words that I want to say
In a classroom at our school exactly like we used to do
Now that I have left behind the innocence of my youth
At last I will be able to tell you the truth

[Chorus]
I wanna go LOVE TRIP, let's go beyond time and space
LOVE TRIP, back to the days
Back to the moment long time ago that we hid deep inside
I was there LOVE TRIP, let me know where I can find you
LOVE TRIP, miss you so much
There was something on my mind in my heart but forgot to tell you!

[Post-Chorus]
And I locked away the love that I had and kept it hidden in my heart
But the are times when I just want to reach in and tear it apart
Whenever I think of you under the sky that was so blue

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.
