Best Asian Idol Groups
JKT48 is an Indonesian girl group whose name is derived from its base city of Jakarta and the Japanese idol group AKB48. Formed in 2011, it is the first AKB48 sister group outside of Japan and adopts the concept of "idols you can meet". Fans can attend daily performances at the group's theater, which was built as a close replica to the AKB48 Theater in Akihabara.
Producer Yasushi Akimoto decided to bring the AKB48 concept to Indonesia because the group had begun to develop a fan base in the country. Indonesia's growing economy was seen as a potential market by many Japanese companies. Akimoto established a partnership with these businesses and the country's largest media conglomerate Global Mediacom (MNC Media), Southeast Asia's largest and most integrated media group, to replicate the AKB48 business model.
While JKT48 does not restrict membership by nationality, applicants must be residents of Indonesia. The group has 51 members and released its first studio album Heavy Rotation on February 16, 2013, via Hits Records, a division of MNC subsidiary PT Star Media Nusantara. It performs songs by AKB48 and other sister groups that are translated into Indonesian.
My reason for loving AKB48 is their spirit, charisma, and concept. They're the first idol group in Japan to adopt the concept of "The Idol You Can Meet Everyday". Regarding charisma, I don't know what others think, but I find it impressive. Their spirit is about building popularity from zero.
They're so cute and really energetic. I'd love to watch them in concert. Really! AKB48 is the greatest idol group in Japan ever! They have passion and move very quickly. I love them as I love Japan.
People should choose AKB48 because they were the first women's group in the world and gave birth to new women group idols like JKT48 and others.
