Pareo Is Your Emerald (English Version)JKT48

Released: March 27, 2015

Songwriter: 秋元康 (Yasushi Akimoto)

[Verse 1]
It feels just like the discovery
Of the rarest fish beyond the very bottom of the deepest sea
A hidden corner inside my heart
And for the first time finally I can feel it inside me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the blazing sun teaches what I need to know
Everything about that season when the passions grow

[Chorus 1]
Pareo is your own emerald
It's the summer tied to your waist
It shines with all the colours of the ocean
Pareo is your own emerald
Flowing free in the ocean breeze
This girl has now blossomed into a woman
Compared to (compared to)
Yesterday (yesterday)
There's something (there's something) that has now changed
And now I have fallen so very deeply in love with you

[Verse 2]
Those islands that are scattered on the sea
They are still full of evolution undetected by anyone
Through the window of my heart back then
I could only see a little girl that has now opened up

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Romance always comes and arrives so suddenly
When the light of love shines down on me and I realize

[Chorus 2]
Emerald that took my breath away
It made me look to the other way
It is the sight of undiscovered beauty
Emerald that took my breath away
It was the time of innocence
The girl who could only speak with just a smile
And your eyes (and your eyes)
Your dark eyes (your dark eyes)
What is it (what is it) they're looking at?
This is me... I am here...
There is nowhere else I'd rather be

[Interlude]

[Chorus 1]
Pareo is your own emerald
It's the summer tied to your waist
It shines with all the colours of the ocean
Pareo is your own emerald
Flowing free in the ocean breeze
This girl has now blossomed into a woman
All around (all around)
In this world (in this world)
You are the (you are the) most beautiful
And now I have fallen so very deeply in love with you

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.
