For the second time, AKB48 first overseas sister group JKT48 released the same title at the same time. AKB48's 37th single or JKT48 7th single titled Kokoro No Placard. Both 48 sister went on the same concept for the song, which is to get the fans and people to dance along the song. Kokoro No Placard mainly tell the confusion to tell heartfelt confession to someone important that cannot be spoken, it can simply be written on a placard. The choreography itself was super cute and simple, so then everyone can sing and dance along to this cheerful song.

Mayu Watanabe takes the center of their 37th single, leading to an explosive cuteness that many find it adorable. This opportunity show her continuous success by being the center from the 36th single Labrador Retriever. The unique thing is this is the first time Mayu won the first place in the fan-voted senbatsu election. On this single Mayu were accompanied by a handful of top-tier oshi in AKB48 such as Takahashi Minami, Kojima Haruna, Sashihara Rino and the rest of the usual 'front row' girls.

This was the second time JKT48 has the privilege of launching their single together with their big sister AKB48. Upon this opportunity Melody said "we're very happy we had the chance to launch our single together. It is something that we should be proud of and we won't waste it." JKT48 representative also said that this is possible due to the strong bond between both group compared to other sister groups. 

Shania Juniananta, or usually called Shanju, took the center position in their 7th single and this was her first time given the chance leading the rest of the senbatsu. "I still can't believe that I'm the center. I still feel like I haven't tried my best. But I'm still thankful for the opportunity." The rest of the senbatsu was filled with familiar faces such as Haruka Nakagawa, Melody Nurramdhani, Nabilah Ratna, Devi Kinal and the newest member transferred from AKB48, Chikano Rina.

JKT's MV is better than AKB's tbh.

AKB's MV is too awfully similar to KFC.

 

Musically, they're equal. I don't prefer one over the other.

i can't find the full MV of AKB's :( like i know it help to boost their physical sales but still... i want to see it  :rlytearpls:

 

JKT48 IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!! :ahmagah:

 

I like AKB48's better but JKT's version is lovely

yessss they areeee. if you understand those message on placards were even cuter. the ones that held by a little girl says "i want to be a member of JKT48", or "i want to meet JKT48, the one in the gym said "Yuvia (member of JKT48) please follow back my twitter". it is so funny  :ahmagah:

musically the same but the JTK48 mv is just too cute and these girls :ahmagah:

Yep the whole MV is shoooo cute & funny, those messages in the placard literally translate "confession that cannot be spoken but can only be written" such as the guy that were fishing said "fishing time = my in-laws are visiting" & the hardcore rock looking guy actually said "i want to be a doctor" on his placard.

Whyyy what's wrong with the song? Is it flopped so bad in Japan?

I don't know about how the general public there feels I don't think they recieved it well though like KFC

 

It's just not a very interesting song

Sales wise the first day was quite low for their standards I don't think it's reached 1 million copies yet, which is strange considering it's an election single and members from all the sister groups appear in it...
