Why Takajo Aki is Senbatsu in Japan, and what JKT48 members should learn from her.

Probably this image gives you some idea about that.

Takajo Aki is the only person who is bowing deeply at the award reception.

*I’m not saying all AKB48 girls behave in this courteous manner. What I mean is as Senbatsu member, she has whole lot of occasions to meet big Shots of the industry, and she has earned a good reputation partly thanks to behaving well mannered 😉

The following comments are from Japanese fans who watched these videos. If you find they get something wrong, please let us know!

“How popular JKT48 is in Indonesian idol community?”

“I think they are gradually reaching the top.

They are selling physical copies a lot, which is surprising as south east Asia is piracy heaven.

At their very first Individual Handshake event, they enjoyed massive media coverage and every Indonesia fan was buzzing about it.”

Still, JKT48 is only at the start.”

“How many records did they sell?”

“People estimate that it’s 100,000 or 200,000 copies, but since Indonesia doesn’t have music hit chart nor the system to collect and present sales date statistically. So we have no way to know the precise number of sales lol”

“Tomorrow they will hold a live concert to commemorate the release of 1st album! It’s good to see Akicha as center at this important time for the group!”

“It makes me feel so good to see Akicha getting along with Indonesian members so well.”

“With this award winning, they’ve already won 4 awards so far, right?

Though they are like Rookie of the Year kind awards, they are certainly drawing huge attention from Indonesians.”

“If JKT48 achieve great success there, this business model will work anywhere in South East Asia. If that will be the case, they should create bunch of new groups throughout the region, like Phnon Penh 48, Hanoi 48, or Ho Chi Minh 48!!”
