[Intro]
So long (So long)
Tersenyumlah
So long (So long)
Sampai jumpa

[Verse 1]
Di ranting telah terlihat kuncup yang keras
Padahal musim bunga sakura belum tiba
Musim semi kita sesuai tanggal di kalender
Memekarkan bunga di jalan harapan kita

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dengan polosnya membahas impian
Bingung karena cinta dan membagi air mata

[Chorus 1]
Kenangan akan menjadi teman
Esok pun harus menjadi semakin kuat
Walaupun ada hal yang menyulitkan
Kau tak sendiri pasti bisa lalui

[Post-Chorus 1]
Di lapangan saat kita lari bersama
Jangan kau lupakan keringat semangat itu, my friend

[Verse 2]
Pelukan perpisahan perasaan tak terbendung
Padahal sudah janji tak akan menangis
Dengan jemari saling menghapuskan air mata
Saat kita tertawa jadi semakin menangis

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Senja pun terasa bagai memburu
Lonceng terakhir adalah suara langkah masa depan

[Chorus 2]
Kenangan baru masih menunggu
Di langit biru yang ada di depan mata
Kesedihan dan kegembiraan
Pasti 'kan menjadi harta yang berharga

[Post-Chorus 2]
Meskipun kita ada di jalan yang berbeda
Di sampingku selalu terasa ada dirimu, best friend

[Bridge]
Mengapa pohon sakura terasa menyedihkan?
Selalu berbunga, selalu gugur
Bagaikan melihat jam pasir penuh bunga

[Chorus 1]
Kenangan akan menjadi teman
Esok pun harus menjadi semakin kuat
Walaupun ada hal yang menyulitkan
Kau tak sendiri pasti bisa lalui

[Post-Chorus 1]
Di lapangan saat kita lari bersama
Jangan kau lupakan keringat semangat itu, my friend

[Outro]
Suatu saat di hari pernikahanku
Sudah pasti akan aku undang dirimu, my friend

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.
