Pajama Drive Revival Show - Reaction to Vote results

Votes are IN! Here is the line up for Pajama Drive Revival Show!






Tenshi no Shippo: 
 
Ghaida Farisya

Okay, first of all, where in the world did she come from? lol. I mean, to get from nowhere to grab the center position is not exactly easy, and given the fact she dethroned Melody, the face of JKT48, I just.... Let's just say I didn't see this coming at all.


That being said, I don't think this song is a match for her. Not to say that she sucks at it. It's just doesn't feel right, you know? Put it like, having Queen singing a Miley Cyrus type song... or for Japanese Fans, think of TM Revolution singing Doraemon opening song... hahaaa. I don't know, maybe she will surprise me.

Rica Leyona
I actually has not been doing a good job on watching how she perform on stage. She may not fit to cutey honey song like this, but she does has potential of being surprising. Still not the song I'd picture her in lol.








Nabilah Ratna Ayu
I actually predicted in the first day of voting that she will make it in to this specific song. Therefore, not a huge surprise for me to see her in this unit. I'm anxious to see how much she has improve since the last time she perform this song.

 








Pajama Drive:

Jennifer Hanna 

I have yet to see what she has to offer. Should be good to watch. If the reviews for her performance are close to the truth, she should be able to give a great performance









Beby Chaesara
 Okay, honestly, I don't think she'd make Pajama Drive, I thought she will return to her original unit in Kagami no Naka no Jeanne D' Arc. She seems to be the type of power singer like Kinal or Ghaida, so I personally don't think this is a good fit.

Still, if she pulls this off, Hats off!



  

Cindy Yuvia
Okay, I admit, I thought she'd make Tenshi no Shippo instead of Pajama Drive. She's a perfect fit for that song.

Having said that, this kid is a quick learner and I think, even if this song is not the perfect fit, she will give one of the great performance.






 


Junjou Shugi: 
 
Haruka Nakagawa 

Her Original unit in AKB48 is Pajama Drive. However, I really think she can excel in this song. Personally for me, this is her chance to prove she is not just a cute, innocent girl.





Ratu Vienny Fitrilya

My favorite Performer in KIII. I think... no... I KNOW she will give us the greatest performance of Junjou Shugi.

I definitely hope I can see this first hand! She is just that good.







Shania Junianatha 
Pretty decent. She makes the perfect complimentary performer. Not to disrespect, but I don't think she's ready to center this song.
 










Temodemo no Namida:

Before I start anything, I want to make it clear that I am overly critical of who can perform this song. So, some of you may not like what I say about the performers here.
 
Sendy Ariani
I'm not entirely sure. Maybe I set my standard based on Yukirin and Mikachi. So I am not that hyped about her selection.

One thing I am hoping for though, since she's kind of an airhead (sorry Sendy ^^'), she may learn this song enough and step up to the Mayu-Jurina level when performing this song. I have high hopes for this kid.





Stella Cornelia
Again, like Sendy, I hope she learns this song and give us the performance I know she's capable of. Not the best pick, but if she puts her heart in it enough, I know she can do well.



 






..

Kagami no Naka no Jeanne D'Arc

 
Devi Kinal Putri


Team J's Captain. I pretty much expected she made this song. Her original unit, and the fact that JKT48's version of Kagami no Naka no Jeanne D' Arc became a hot topic among overseas fans. I expect we will have the same, if not better, performance this time around with the all star team it has.




Jessica Veranda 

I actually have been dying to see her perform this song. She has always shown maturity and calmness beyond her age. I have always wondered how she would have performed this energetic song.








Rezky Wiranti Dhike 

Actually a very decent pick. Just like Ve, I have been wondering how she would perform this type of song.









Shinta Naomi


This is another all star pick, the Captain of Team KIII. Naomi's selection to this unit give us the Captain-Captain combo. I can't wait to see her perform.









Frieska Anastasia
This is a very interesting pick. Being the sister of Melody, JKT48's Center. She has always been kinda in the back and not stood out. I guess that comes naturally when your sister is the star of the team.

I personally think this will be her chance to finally shine. She just need to gain some confidence and step out of her sister's shadow






Overall: 

Interesting, I think this show will be fun and we will definitely see some member having to adjust. Kagami no Naka no Jeanne D' Arc will be the one to watch out for as far as Unit songs go, closely followed by Junjou Shugi, For individual performance, I suggest we keep an eye out for Viny as she is, right now, the best KIII performer (or maybe the entire JKT48 in that regard). That being said, I'd be keeping an eye on Frieska. This is a great opportunity for her.
