[Verse 1]
Di pojokkan kota ini bagai sebuah ilusi
Tiba-tiba hari itu terlahir lapangan impian
Teman tiba di latihan kemudian mulai berlatih
Mempersiapkan diri sendiri dan memupuk masa depan

[Pre-Chorus]
Dulu 24 bibit yang tak diharapkan oleh siapapun
Suatu hari pasti bunga mekar sempurna

[Chorus]
We are The Team J, Sang Pioneer
Majulah Team J, harus percaya
Pertaruhkanlah dirimu, tiada hal lain yang tersisa
We are The Team J, Sang Pioneer
Majulah Team J, ayo berkeringat
Sekarang semuanya dimulai, ayo kita ingat kembali
Tekad yang ada sekali lagi

[Verse 2]
Semua bilang mustahil dan menertawakan kita
Walau begitu ada kalian yang selalu menjaga kami
Tidak bisa mundur lagi cuma bisa berusaha
Tak ada waktu untuk menangis sampai usaha membuahkan hasil

[Pre-Chorus]
Karna diterjang angin dan hujan, kita bisa menjadi makin kuat
Tanpa sadar teman-teman semuanya telah menjadi satu

[Chorus]
We are The Team J, mencoba pertama
Teruslah Team J, janganlah menyerah
Harus bisa menggapainya, demi harga diri ini
We are The Team J, mencoba pertama
Teruslah Team J, menghadap ke depan
Apa pun yang 'kan terjadi, berikan ke para penerus
Contoh kesuksesan kita

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
We are The Team J, Sang Pioneer
Majulah Team J, harus percaya
Pertaruhkanlah dirimu, tiada hal lain yang tersisa
We are The Team J, Sang Pioneer
Majulah Team J, ayo berkeringat
Sekarang semuanya dimulai, ayo kita ingat kembali
Tekad yang ada sekali lagi

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.
