Hi everyone, it’s Afit again here.

I apologize for the recent delay in JKT48 updates, I’ve been tied up with IRL stuff that I simply didn’t have enough time to write! Without further ado, these are the recent JKT48 news that I managed to collect for the past two weeks.

JKT48 3rd Generation Selected

After three months of rigorous training and auditioning, finally JKT48 have added more members in their roster. From 63 girls who passed the final audition, only 32 girls succeeded to become the 3rd generation of JKT48. These girls were officially introduced to the media in the press conference which held before Flying Get Concert, which all of them made their debut in front of the fans.

The author wishes the girls good luck for their career at JKT48 and hopes someday they can reach their dreams & make JKT48 more famous!

3rd Generation Public Debut

Nine days after their debut in front of JKT48 fans, members of JKT48’s 3rd generation officially made their public debut in national TV. They joined their senpais performing Koisuru Fortune Cookie in one of the TV anniversary show.

Here’s the video of their performance

Pipit Ananda resigns from JKT48

According to official announcement, Pipit Ananda, one of the 3rd generation has filed her resignation from the group – therefore per 24th March 2014, she’s no longer listed as JKT48 member.

There’s no official statement regarding the reason which make her resigned from JKT48, but the rumor that circulated in fans said that after she passed the audition she get an announcement that she accepted to receive scholarship to study abroad. Again, the author wish her good luck for her education and hopefully she success in the future

The massive number of votes is triggered by one of the voting methods which is the Digital Content Download. It is relatively cheaper than other voting methods since you only have to pay (with your cellphone credit) IDR 3,300 (33 yen) for a one-off registration fee and another IDR 3,300 per content download (songs, wallpapers, photos etc) to get your voting code.

Fans are also able to get their hands on 11 votes instead of 3 when they purchased the CD for IDR 35,000 (350 yen). This voting method was available only for a week from 16th March to 23rd March.

The unbelievably fluctuating results from 1st to 2nd preliminary makes JKT sousenkyo sort of unpredictable. The final result might be as jaw-dropping as last year’s AKB48 Sousenkyo.

The possibility of a last-minute powervote from each member’s fanbase can’t be ruled out before the voting period’s deadline ( 22nd of April 2014 )

So who do you think will be on top in the final results?? Let us know your thoughts!
