Kolaborasi JKT48 dan SKE48 dalam perayaan diplomatik Indonesia-Jepang

The face-to-face appearance of the idol groups JKT48 and SKE48 closed the last day of the Jack Japan Matsuri 2023 at Gambit Expo Kemayoran on Sunday, November 19. The appearance of collaboration between the original Indonesian and Japanese idol groups marks the celebration of the diplomatic relationship between the two countries that has been going on for 65 years. The harmony of voice and dance movements of the two groups was able to attract hundreds of thousands of viewers to sing with enthusiasm. The appearance of solo singer Salma Salsabil and male idol group Sychic Fever contributed to the momentum of the peak of information exchange and culture between the two countries. A member of SKE48, Ruka Inoue, appreciates the enthusiasm of visitors who want to see their first appearance in Indonesia. I was very happy to be able to perform with SKE48 in Indonesia. I want to know more and more songs in the future. I want to meet more Indonesian people with a lot of smiles. Thank you very much. In addition to the appearance of music, the Japanese-style culinary festival also popularized the location of the event. Japanese-style food such as takoyaki, satay gurita, and modern drinks adorned the attendees. In other corners of the location, sources of information about pop culture and Japanese culture have also been popularizing activities that have been routinely carried out since 2009. Head of Information and Culture Department of the Japanese Embassy, Daisuke Hoshino, explained that this kind of event is very good for maintaining the cohesion between Indonesia and Japan. The motto of this festival is Japan-Indonesia always together. This festival started in 2009, and it started with a grassroots level exchange of people between Japan and Indonesia. And it became a big event involving both the Japanese community in Indonesia and the Indonesian people who are fans of Japanese culture. Meanwhile, an audience admitted that they learned a lot from the event. I want to explore Japan's culture in a broad way. There are many cultures here. There are foods, languages, and traditional appearances. That's why I want to come to this festival. Jack Japan Matsuri is a momentum for the Indonesian people to learn more about Japanese culture, to learn and find information, and to enjoy various entertainment shows.
