[Verse 1]
Angin lembut musim semi
Dari mana berhembus
Jalan yang biasa kulewati
Telah mulai berganti warna
Kebahagian dan kesedihan
Berlalu bersama musim
Aku mulai melangkah
Pada jalan yang baru

[Chorus]
Helai bunga Sakura
Penanda perpisahan
Disaat tangan melambai-lambai
Teringat wajah teman-teman
Helai bunga sakura
Penanda air mata
Supaya waktu berharga ini
Sampai kapan pun
Tak akan terlupakan

[Verse 2]
Bila menatap ke langit
Aku menjadi tahu
Panjang jalan yang luasnya
Berlanjut jauh tiada berbatas
Hari cerah pun, hari hujan pun
Esok pasti akan datang
Lalu sambil tersenyum
Ayunkan satu langkah

[Chorus]
Helai bunga Sakura
Penanda masa depan
Agar impian yang pernah terlihat
Dapat kita ingat kembali
Helai bunga Sakura
Penanda harapan
Dari pada menyerah percuma
Mari kita membuka lembaran baru

[Chorus]
Helai bunga sakura
Penanda dari hati
Cahaya masa muda berkilau
Menembus daun menyilaukan
Helai bunga sakura
Penanda hari itu
Semua orang tak akan lupa
Mimpi yang telah
Mekar dengan sempurna

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.
