最近気に入った曲



Okay, I'm not big on Japanese idol groups. I mostly see them as annoyingly-high-pitched-voiced-pants-flashing-look-at-me-I'm-so-cute-group of girls. And this perception (or prejudice, as some might say) makes it hard for me to open myself to the idea that some of their songs might actually be good.

That is until I heard JKT48 version of Kimi no Koto ga Suki Dakara. I love the melody and the whole energy of the song. So much, in fact, that I'm even willing to overlook how ridiculous some parts of the translated lyrics sound in Indonesian. Like "Hanya dengan bertemu denganmu perasaanku menjadi hangat. Dan menjadi penuh"... WTH?! Perasaan menjadi penuh? As in 'begah'?? Or what? We just don't say that in Indonesian... Really,  I don't think it would hurt to alter the lyrics a bit to make it sound more natural in Indonesian instead of just lazily giving it a 100% literal translation (but I don't know if that's actually part of the management's policy or something).
Anyway, like I said, I'm willing to over look that fact and just enjoy the song as it is...

At least there's no annoying high pitched voice in this version!
