[Verse 1]
Tidak bisa tidur, aku mengayuh sepeda
Pada malam hari dan pergi ke mini market
Walau sebenarnya tak ada yang kuinginkan
Tapi siapa tahu bisa bertemu denganmu

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Teman sekelas yang tinggal dekat sini
Mengharapkan kebetulan, I miss you

[Chorus]
Rasa sayang yang ada sedang di-scan
Barcode yang ada di kasir
Majalah fashion yang tadi aku baca
Kopi kaleng tidak manis
Bip, bip, bip, setiap mendengarnya
Seperti akan ketahuan
Aku sedang jatuh cinta

[Verse 2]
Restoran keluarga, walaupun ada di depan
Banyak orang pacaran yang sangat berisik
Minimarket pun bukan tempat yang tak wajar
Untuk menghabiskan waktu sendirian saja

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Walau pun tak bisa mengungkapkan cinta
Tiba-tiba aku tersadar, fall in love

[Chorus 2]
Barcode tak bisa terbaca scanner
Lalu mengetik nomornya
Walau tak tersampaikan secara langsung
Proses ini menyakitkan
Berharap nanti ku setidaknya
CCTV pun menampilkan
Kedatanganku ke sini

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Beberapa garis yang jelas terekam
Dalam lubuk hati ini, hard to say

[Chorus 3]
Rasa sayang yang ada sedang di-scan
Barcode yang ada di kasir
Majalah fashion yang tadi aku baca
Kopi kaleng tidak manis
Barcode tak bisa terbaca scanner
Lalu mengetik nomornya
Walau tak tersampaikan secara langsung
Proses ini menyakitkan
Berharap nanti ku setidaknya
CCTV pun menampilkan
Kedatanganku ke sini

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.
