Good afternoon, everyone!

How do you feel when you find out ZKT48 will start its activity again?

Excited much?

I am!

Do you miss my catchphrase?

Of course not, you miss the one who owns the catchphrase, right?

Anyway, today is the shonichi of "Dareka no Tameni" setlist.

It's Team Z's new stage.

The shonichi will be held on 3pm.

You can see the setlist detail on http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Team_A_3rd_Stage.

To me, the setlist is very unique. It consists of medley of some ZKT48 songs and a song like "Koike".

Talk about "Koike", Erika will sing the colored part. I wonder how she would be when she becomes a flirty girl?

It could be a little weird since she dislikes getting teased.

I bet you think so.

But, she's a professional. I'm sure she can do it well.

Also, I'll sing unit-song that Atsuko-san sang when she was in Team A. Guess what?

So, come here!

I'm looking forward your wotageis!

Scream my name!

JU-RI-NA!

Before talking about my tiring week, I want to apologize if you couldn't access my blog.

There was something wrong happened to every member's blog I myself didn't understand much.

But Unyi-P said it caused by the usage of domain name was already up.

But, now the problem had fixed well.

And I intentionally create a new post to prove everything is going well now.

Okay. Let's start.

Good evening. As another cliche opening I usually use to start a writing.

How's life, people?

Well, me, I'm fine since the last time I checked. Although this week was being the busiest week I've ever been through.

Busy yet meaningful week.

It started when I was being trusted to train some understudy members from 1st generation: Reina, Mayuyu, Uha, and Nyan.

There, I had to teach the proper way to sing quickly and create a lively MC.

I got a little problem to determine the right time to train them together. Unfortunately, their mundanes had another business in real life in different day. That sucks at first. But I didn't want to make everything getting worse so I followed what they wanted.

I used #JurinaJoongki hashtag for my students' theater training to distinguish mine and another members'.

The training ran for three days. On the first day, I trained Reina and Nyan. It didn't go as good as what I wished so I made a deal to re-train them in the next day. On the second day, I trained Uha and Nyan. It was better than the day before lol. And on the last day, I trained Mayuyu in the daytime and Reina in the evening.

It was tiring so much.

But,

somehow I felt a comfort to teach some things that may useful for another people.

Remember my goals here?

One of my goals here is to be there when I'm needed.

I'm also grateful they could understand my explanation quickly and practice it well. They are great idols.

One day, please promise me you can aim the zero position, okay?

Don't waste my attempt to make you better or I'll kick each of you until you cry in agony.

It may be hard, the way you're going through may be steep, but as long as you keep endeavoring, you can anytime reach it.

I hope you guys still remember me when you're already on the peak.

I'll be the witness of your success from the bottom to scream your names out loud.

I'm looking forward it.

Good luck!

Deeply apologize because I didn't take a picture together with Reina.​

Don't forget, tomorrow ZKT48 will release the 1st single, "Mae Shika Mukanee". Since I'm the center of the A-Side then buying the copy is a must.

I have a plan about making a project for my blog. Ain't it boring to read my "diary" all the time?

The project is posting review for any literature. More specifically, poems.

---

"A poem is the arrangement of words that contain meaning and musical elements. It is a piece of writing that expresses the writer's thought and feelings in order to set a mood; it can be happy or sad, simple or complex. In just a few words, a poem can say a lot. It can inspire and awe and can be a welcome escape into something that is totally wonderful."

Today, ZKT48 was holding the first concert for the new team, Team Z, titled New Team, New Journey. The members sang approximately 21 songs in a day.

The concert went well without any problems but unfortunately some member got trouble. For example, Juri, she couldn't follow the entire concert because of the electricity in her mundane's house was quenched. Nobody's worth being blamed because it was out of Juri's control. Erika also got a trouble where she came late because her mundane fell asleep since the concert began.

Everybody seemed enthusiastic attending today's concert. I hope it's not only today, but for the next 1000 years of ZKT48's existence.

Many affairs happened nonstop today such as shocking announcements, celebration of Kiku, Mako, and Nako's birthday (seitansai), and the funniest affair in 2016 (wow very hyperbolic, right?) goes to when Park Chanyeol came from nowhere and sang together with us. It got me the feeling like nakinagara waraide (as I laugh, I cry).

The climax of the event was of course when Unyi-P announced the announcement. And the climax of the announcement goes to the 1st single senbatsu announcement. This sort of announcement forever will always be awaited.

But, wait, before conveying about the single thingy, I want to tell another announcements that important as well.

Today, from now on, Nanami Hashimoto will be the captain of Team Z. In the lower position, there is Zhao Jiamin as the vice-captain. I won't congratulate both of you, but I will always be the one behind your senaka to support you, because getting occupation is actually to examine your responsibility. I hope you guys can fulfill your duties.

*inhale*

Okay, let's go to the spotlight of this post!

So, ZKT48's first single is "Mae Shika Mukanee" or means "only look forward". Such a pleasing title, right?

It's planned to be released on June 1, 2016.

Here is the line-up of the senbatsu : Rara Goto, Nanami Hashimoto, Erika Ikuta, Ju Jingyi, Rena Kato, Saya Kawamoto, Mako Kojima, Jurina Matsui, Sakura Miyawaki, Ryoka Oshima, Sumire Sato, Juri Takahashi, Meru Tashima, Nako Yabuki, Fuuko Yagura, Zhao Jiamin.

I got the zero position, center.

I'm unable to express my happiness. Such a pleasant to be trusted as the front girl of this energetic single. Some of my friend also said that I deserved this position and considered I'm suitable to be the center of this energetic song. Well, I took it simply as compliments.

Before ending today's post, I would like to thank those people.

Especially, the one who was very excited as I was being appointed as the center, Sakura. She hugged me immediately after my name was mentioned. I'm glad I met Sakura. She is always there to support me. She also mentioned me on her latest post. She is the one who excited in reading my new post all the time. She really knows well how to make me feel honored. Therefore, I thank you so much.

So did Ryoka, Fuuchan, and of course Savoki. Although they always get in my hair, they are my best "supporter" so far. With all my heart, I thank you.

And also, don't forget this one girl whom made me dumbfounded all day long, Juri Takahashi. I at first was a bit shocked when Juri confessed to me that I'm her oshimen in ZKT48. I feel so honored when a person like me could be adored by someone, lol. Thank you so much!

Finally, my biggest thank goes to Unyi-P! I'd never expect she would choose me as the center of the first single since she ever said to me that it's hard to choose her own partner in managing ZKT48 as the center nor the ace.

I hope the decision of appointing me as the center didn't make anyone become wrathful.

Oh, and for Savoki, do promise me we will be the WCenter in a single one day. "Kibouteki Refrain", right?

From now on, I promise to those who have supported me so far, I will always do my best. がんばります。

June, 2016

In a peaceful starry night,

Jurina Matsui

Yap! Aku emang mau ngebahas tentang itu sekarang. Tapi, bukan Hebirotenya AKB48, melainkan Hebirotenya ZKT48 yang baru dirilis short version music videonya tadi.

Penasaran kayak gimana hasil utak-atiknya Unyi dalam pembuatan MV Heavy Rotation? Klik link di bawah ini!

Eh, ada screen-time bagian aku loh!

Lucu banget kan walaupun baru short version? Aku jadi gak sabar lihat yang full versionnya. Kalian juga pasti penasaran kaaaaan?

Jangan lupa like, comment (yang bagus), dan subscribe channel ZKT48 di YouTube!

Terus dukung kami, ya!

Kira-kira apa ya? Bisa menerka?

Sesuatu itu adalah yang disebut dengan impian.

Konteks "impian" yang akan kubahas bukanlah bunga tidur, tapi sesuatu yang lebih bermakna dan lebih "berat" dari itu. Sesuatu yang sengaja dan benar-benar diinginkan, sesuatu yang mampu menjadi hasrat dan alasanmu untuk meneruskan hidup. Seseorang yang tidak memiliki impian dapat kupastikan hampa hidupnya.

Impian itu ada dua jenis: impian utama dan impian sampingan. Impian utama itu sesuatu yang kau inginkan yang menjadi target utama dalam suatu pencapaian (karena pencapaian orang itu tidak cuma satu), sedangkan impian sampingan itu sesuatu yang kau inginkan juga tapi tidak begitu digadang-gadang untuk dicapai. Ah, pokoknya seperti itulah!

Setelah membahas sedikit tentang hakikat impian, pasti kalian penasaran kan apa yang menjadi impianku sejak memutuskan untuk bergabung bersama ZKT48?

Dimulai dari impian utamaku. Impian utamaku di ZKT48 adalah menjadi idola yang baik. Bagiku, idola itu bukanlah titel yang didapat ketika seseorang dapat menyanyi dan belonggak-lenggok di atas panggung. Dua hal itu mungkin dapat menjadi tolok ukur, tapi bukan satu-satunya patokan. Idola itu juga membicarakan tentang perilaku, sikap, attitude seseorang. Seseorang yang berbakat namun perilakunya buruk sama seperti buah kedondong. Luarnya boleh mulus, tapi dalamnya buruk. Aku ingin menjadi sosok idola yang selain berbakat juga dikenal baik orang semua orang. Aku ingin menjadi sosok yang friendly, rendah hati, dan seseorang yang selalu ada saat mereka butuhkan.

Dengan mencapai impian utamaku tersebut, tentu impian sampinganku yang lain akan dengan mudah mengalir padaku.

Apa impian sampinganku?

Adalah menjadi front-line member ZKT48. Kurang lebih seperti posisinya Jurina di single AKB48. Sepertinya tidak perlu dijelaskan apa alasannya karena semua anggota ZKT48 tentu mau menjadi front-line member, bahkan tidak tanggung-tanggung, beberapa di antara mereka ingin menjadi ace atau center ZKT48. Memiliki impian itu sah-sah saja, bukan?

Tapi, kenapa aku tidak menargetkan diri menjadi ace? Kenapa hanya sebatas front-line member? Yah, setiap orang punya alasan pribadi yang tidak dapat diberitahu. Yang jelas menjadi ace itu tidak mudah. Banyak sepak terjangnya. Tapi, kedua hal itu bukan menjadi alasanku untuk tidak mau menjadi ace. Aku bukan seorang pecundang, aku adalah sebuah peluru meriam yang siap menjebol setiap dinding penghalang. Catat itu.

Posting-anku kucukupkan sampai di sini. Akan kusambung lagi di lain waktu. Jangan lupa sebentar lagi #ZKT48Pajama dimulai. Psst, doakan aku sukses hari ini, ya? Mari ber-pinky swear!

"Hujan adalah sebuah presipitasi berwujud cairan, berbeda dengan presipitasi non-cair seperti salju, batu es dan slit. Hujan memerlukan keberadaan lapisan atmosfer tebal agar dapat menemui suhu di atas titik leleh es di dekat dan di atas permukaan Bumi."

Dalam renyainya ia turun

bersama 1000 tawa

dan 1001 duka

Mengalir

mencari-cari celah di antara perdu-perdu

dan kelopak mata yang sedu

Menghanyutkan hati yang mengeras dalam dada

kerna sakitnya ceritera

yang amat syahda

Memberikan taswir

tentang kau

tentang wajahmu

tentang aroma tubuhmu juga

serupa aroma titik-titik air dari dirgantara

yang dahulu menenangkan sukma

Ah,

ia terlalu dingin 'tuk ditembus

Aku jadi menciut

Bersama sanubari yang menyebut-nyebut

mantra kenangan yang semakin mengusut

Biar, aku tidak akan meringsut

Aku tidak akan bersembunyi di dalam selimut

Membiarkan diriku memupus

Biar akan tenggelam, tergerus

bersama genangan-genangan kenangan
