It’s been two months since Chikariina come to Indonesia and she getting more actively involved in JKT48 activities.

Good Day Everyone (´∀｀)ノ, How’s your fasting going on today?

I want to share something (´∀｀*)

I’m ecstatic that i’ll be able to experience college in Japan, although it’s short but i’m very very happy (o^^o)♪. Before going there, I went through so many tests that almost blew my head off, but for sake going to Japan, I’ll tackle any obstacles.

At first I think it’s impossible to go there since I have activities in JKT48, but fortunately the management supports me (´∀｀), Yeay Happy. Annnddd I will be the only Junior that attends this program – my fellow trip mate all are seniors, I hope I’m not too far behind and can catch up with them.

I want to do a research why Japanese people love their country so much. The question that make me think besides in school, what other values they taught when they’re little? So much love, even the Hollywood movies are translated into Japanese (o^^o)♪ .

Importantly, I have my own mission to promote our beloved country Indonesia. Indonesia is a cool country, suitable for vacation whehehehe ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ. I want to discuss so many things with them (≧∇≦)/ aahh can’t wait ヽ(*´∀｀)ノ

But I’m sad knowing that I won’t participate for this year Pajama Drive Revival ( ；∀；), Missed those pajama so much hauhauhau. But make sure to vote for your favorite members, especially in Team J. C’moon let’s support team J ┌(┌＾o＾)┐

Ghaida is not the only JKT48 member who are going to graduate from university – Melody and Sendy are also in their last year of their respective studies. It’s interesting to see who will complete their studies first and became the 1st JKT48 member who have a bachelor degree!
