“Kiss me, darling — Kiss, Kiss me, baby — We can’t do it yet!”

PROLOGUE: I am a lot happier now. I was a little bummed that all the AKB48 Family videos  — which includes those by the JKT48 sister group — have been banned from being seen or shared  America. I wanted to see more Haruka Nakagawa performances, especially leading up to her graduation later this year.  Ding-dang it — I am not allowed to view JKT48 Official Channel – even though I subscribed!  Fortunately, some YourTube users in Indonesia posted some great LIVE performances from the past couple of years.

There is a great series from this user and others which feature the girls performing in their home theater in Jakarta! It is like you are right there in the front row. Several hour-long shows have been posted — however I wanted to at least share this Yasushi Akimoto song: “Tanjoubi No Yoru”.  JKT48 sing it in an Indonesian dialect, which translates the song as “Malam Ulang Tahun”.  There is even a little English thrown in as you will hear. Full lyrics are available linked here.

It would be a cute and fun Idol show to watch. Image standing in the from row and seeing Harugon and Melody and all the others so close up.

I have not seen so much tender thigh meat since I was on that tour of the Tyson factory!!!

(Denny imitating Dr. McCoy’s famous “I’m just an old country doctor …” quote):

I’m just a big fat fanboy, but these stage shows are great to watch and listen to at work. I can re-size a window, work around it, then imagine that I am right there in the JKT theater, while I spend several hours processing requests for agricultural fertilizers.

These shows may not be as elaborate as the stage show of a big American rock band, but I love watching them. The girls wear a variety of great Idol outfits. Some songs are cute, some are sweet, and some are pretty sexy. (Well, they are all pretty at something.)

I love the individual beauty of each of the ladies. The JKT48 girls have an amazing array of attractive faces. Each one is more lovely than the next. No, they do not look like supermodels. Arguably, they look like “just your average pretty girl” — if you know what I mean.  You know, like that really unique-looking, but also very pretty girl who works the checkout at the supermarket? You know, like that super-stylish pretty girl you always see in the coffee shop? You know, that really pretty friend-of-a-friend’s friend? You know, like that quiet, but very pretty girl you see on the bus all the time? You know, that real girl you would rather have a million times over any Hollywood actress?

These videos show that the JKT48 team are real girls. Sure, each has talent to varying degrees, and it has been fun to watch their talents grow. There is nothing phony about the JKT48 girls. These girls are not just models. Better! — they have natural beauty. All are Indonesian (except Haruka), but there is a great diversity of faces in the group … those magnificent faces .. those uniquely beautiful, … wonderful … life affirming faces. Each one is its own universe …

… Its own lifetime. Really, any one of them would be a dream girlfriend. If I were a young man, I would share my life with any of them. You can see why a guy would be willing to get up and go to work every day. Did you see those faces? Those heavenly thighs? You can see why a guy would dedicate his life to making his dream girl happy.  I’d even talk to an insurance salesman.

Have fun re-sizing your windows, but get back to work on those data forms …

Is it just me — or are this world’s women getting more and more beautiful? Maybe I have that perspective, because I am just so old, well past the midpoint of life. I can even see the abyss from my vantage point.  We should appreciate and celebrate beauty and fun more often. We are here on this Earth to love each other, not to make trouble, create pain or hurt each other because we buy a different brand of socks. I know now what is truly important now: Find a pretty girl, then get your face between her thighs. Make babies … then love them. This is what I want to be on my tombstone*: Denny’s advice: “Worry less about stupid stuff  … and eat more pussy.”

I would rather watch the JKT48 girls sing and dance more than any of the edgy, progressive, supposedly significant singer songwriters I grew up with. I know what you are going to say Bob: “Denny, when you were a young new-wave-arty-punk-rocker  you listened to those deep, dark artists, who you thought were so earthshakeingly profound. You used to write about INJUSTICES! … about all the SHIT in society! …  art that was about all the PUKE!!! …”. 

Well, I don’t want to see the shit and the puke anymore.

I want to see my sweet JKT48 girls wearing pretty dresses – singing about love, being loved and giving love.

Starlight: *Actually, cremate my body, and mix my ashes into the fertile Indonesian soil.  The dark, rich, moist, volcanic soil. Mash me deep into Melody’s furrows – er, .. I mean … uh … deep into the agricultural field, that is wet with anticipation.
