[Lirik "Kereta Kedewasaan"]

[Verse 1]
Roda yang mulai bergerak
Kamu yang sedang menaikinya
Saat ku tiba di peron stasiun
Ku terlambat beberapa detik
Kemudian kereta itu
Menuju kota yang amat jauh
Tak pernah ku menyangka sebelumnya
'kan mendadak begini

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Jika bilang "s'lamat tinggal"
Akankah aku mampu
Untuk menghadapi kenyataan pahit ini?

[Chorus]
Kereta kedewasaan tak sempat kunaiki lagi
Melihatnya berlalu
Kurasakan sakit dalam hati
Ajari aku sesuatu
Rasa sedih bila kita berpisah dan
Gelapnya p'rasaan putus asa
Ingin hapus segala rasa itu
Agar ku bisa menemukan cahaya

[Verse 2]
Di saat bel telah berbunyi
Apakah kau melihat ke sini?
Masa depan yang dirimu tinggalkan
Takkan biarkanmu pergi

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ketika kita berjanji
'tuk datang tepat waktu
Tetapi ku hanya bisa melihatmu pergi

[Chorus]
Kereta kedewasaan kamu naik sendirian
Menuju dunia baru
Di sini diriku hanya bisa
Bermimpi dan mendoakanmu
Jika suatu saat diriku pergi dari tempat yang
Tidak ada siapa pun
Yang bisa ku lakukan sekarang
Jalan di masa muda yang memusingkan

[Bridge]
Kisah cintaku selalu berakhir setengah jalan
Kesendirian ini
Masa muda yang t'lah kulalui
Terasa amat kaku

[Chorus]
Kereta kedewasaan tak sempat kunaiki lagi
Melihatnya berlalu
Kurasakan sakit dalam hati
Ajari aku sesuatu
Rasa sedih bila kita berpisah dan gelapnya p'rasaan putus asa
Ingin hapus segala rasa itu
Agar ku bisa menemukan cahaya

[Outro]

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.
