I received a request for this one, so next up is Team J’s Shania Junianatha. Nickname = Shanju!
Birthday: June 27, 1998 Catchphrase: “Cute and always disciplined, my name is Shania!”
The professional with her infamous smiling eyes.
Shanju is an immovable presence in JKT—and that’s not just because of her height! At 166 cm, she’s quite tall amongst the JKT members, so it’s usually easy to pick her out in the crowd.
She’s often praised for having high skill in basically every trait an idol can have. She has nice singing skills, her dancing is graceful, her performance is top-notch, and she is confident in front of the audience. Her voice is quite recognizable, because she has one of the deeper voices in the group (in this video [an acoustic cover of Gingham Check—all by JKT members], she’s the one wearing glasses). Amongst the members, Shanju is the confidant—many members feel that she is trustworthy and confide in her, and she considers herself close with basically everyone.
One thing you’ll notice in Shanju’s performances is that she has an incredible amount of stamina. She’s very expressive when she’s on stage, and you’ll never see her expressions falling flat. “No matter how tired we are, we have to keep performing merrily [to not disappoint fans who come to see our show.”
Before joining JKT48, Shanju was a member of a vocal pop trio group called Three Sano (picture here, performance video), and she gained experience in the acting industry. She’s been considered one of the more mature members, even since joining JKT48 at age 13. She’s remarked that since joining JKT, she’s been able to get stronger, more patient, and more confident, and she has the determination to keep improving herself. I’m sure that a lot of her maturity and professionalism has come from her experience in the industry, but even so, Shanju really has a reputation as the real deal. She’s dependable, consistent on stage, incredible expressive, and a friendly figure amongst the members.
Miscellany: Admits that she often fangirls AKB48 with fellow Team J member Beby, spends time “hunting for snacks” with Team J member Ayana, considers herself to be noisy and stubborn, would like to continue on with JKT48 in the future and then become a psychologist in the future, has confidence in her body (with good reason— she has legs for daaaaaays, guys!), is addicted to Twitter, placed #4 in the 2014 Senbatsu Elections (JKT’s first senbatsu elections), and got to be center for JKT’s version of Kokoro no Placard.
My personal opinion: Shanju just oozes confidence and charisma. I respect her performance skill a lot, and the fact that she’s so focused on bringing a good experience to her fans makes me appreciate her attitude, too. You can’t mistake those eyes at all… you’ll always be able to find the gorgeous Shanju in a crowd!
As always, thank you for reading! Photos are not my own and have been sourced from ridwanyudhaa, Imajineshon, AganSam, and Twitter. Please check them out to see more great JKT48 photos!

Nogizaka46 - Ano Hi Boku wa Tossa ni Uso wo Tsuita lyric
That day the moment I was lied to What kind of lie I can’t remember it now
Becoming an adult Somewhere in my heart Bitter liquid are flowing
Misunderstanding the kindness I threw away my true feeling In the distance, the September’s cicada cried
If I can start it over I wonder how far it would go back The first day I met you Or the day I came to love you I could only make one secret You and I are looking at the different sky
But, that look I still can remember it perfectly The other things I had forgotten them completely
Just like the camera shutter Which cutting in My lie makes time stop, doesn’t it?
Due to uncertain love I was afraid of hurtful things My mind was like evening shower
Somehow, now I feel that I’m fine with it However, in a corner of my heart Such pain is exist If I were more honest There wouldn’t such pain or anything I’d become a sly person even more
If I can start it over I wonder how far it would turn back The first day I met you Or the day I came to love you I could only make one secret You and I are looking at the different sky

Sakurai Reika - Blog 2014.11.05 (English Translation)
Yesterday the theater show had a day off. So, it’s been awhile since I was able to sleep until I woke up naturally. (Sleep until what time I’ll let you imagine m(_ _)m lol)
Normally on this kind of days, wouldn’t you go out shopping like crazy? But since I am the indoor type, so sleeping became my number one priority. (°_°)
Even though I do really want to get a new jacket! And new clothing, bag, shoes and lots and lots of other stuff!! Lately it’s been really cold! Rub hands, rub hands! Christmas is coming soon! Rub hands, rub hands, rub hands …..
Ah, yesterday there was a surprise announcement. There will be a Christmas concert on December 13th and 14th ☆☆
It will be at Ariake Coliseum
Another challenge at a new location. What kind of stage will it be, I’ve never been there before …
Yay! This year will also have it! Also, the day before there will be an UNDER LIVE! Everyone’s so amazing!! Truly starting to feel that the group and every member are doing great things. I will not lose to them! I shall do my best with full momentum (￣^￣)ゞ
Another announcement! On January 7th we will finally release our first album! ヽ(∀)ﾉ♪
Not only that, there will be a collaboration with the fans.
I am already starting to feel super excited about how the final product will turn out ♪
So many things to look forward to ( *´艸‘)
And then, yesterday I watched a dorama that I recorded.
Watched until afternoon then I went to record for Nogi no “No” radio program.
Yesterday was quite a fulfilling day.
I watched “For N” dorama. Immediately I got drawn into the story!! It was like I was experiencing all the things the characters in the dorama went through and feeling how they felt.
I kept getting goosebumps inside my heart. (´･_･`)
In the past I also had the same kind of feeling when I watched “Yakou Kanransha” dorama which I love so much.
Indeed this “For N” dorama is also too addictive it’s troublesome! lol
I care too much about what’s going to happen I’m in so~ much~ pain!
(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
In the future, I am gonna work hard at aiming to become a person who can create such an amazing work!!
Yesterday during shower, A thought came “Ah, Mr. Kaminari’s theater show will end after 4 more shows.” Then I cried - couldn’t stop my tears. T^T
The show is not even over yet!! There should be a limit to fantasizing! Lol Sorry, I am too useless orz
Of course, when the theater show actually ends, I am sure I will be very sad at that time.
The saddest part is thinking that I will never meet those actors from the show again. (´･_･`)
I want to return to the first day of rehearsal so badly.
If that’s possible, I’d be able to live happily everyday!!
Tonight there will be a show I’m in. Please do come watch ♪
乃木坂46 秋元真夏 Akimoto Manatsu’s Asahi eng translation
Learning won’t betray you. If you get good mark on your test, it’s because of you. If you don’t do well, that’s your responsibility. Hard work will be rewarded, it’s worthy. With learning you’ll gain knowledge inside your head, it’s a pleasant thing. If you’re an adult, you’re be able to teach children. That’s why I love to study.
When I was in elementary and middle school, my teacher praised me a lot if I got good mark. It made me feel that I’d do my best. I had a strong feeling that I want to get recognition from people around me.

Fukagawa-san♡
What we were talking about, it’s a secret♡
The other day, i had conversation with Iori
Iori : “If you want to take a full portrait, you can use Iori’s kyamera♡” Miria : “kya, kyamera?” Iori : “Ahh!! Camera! LOL”
I will answer your questions
#The reference of your clothes, do you read any magazine?
.LARME .ar
I always read those 2 magazines ar is my reference in make-up and clothes♡
#What things that you consciously do every single day?
Everyday i always eat fruits
It’s good for eating fruits as snacks Because I hate to gain weight, i eat fruits a lot♪
#Tell me they way you go to bed!
I had written about it before, but nevermind
Being in a small place makes me calm down Whenever I’m inside a quiet room, I’ll become sleepy…
After that, I put warm towel onto my eyes!
With just that, I go to sleep!
#What do you do when you get muscle cramp?
Taking a bath is good Maybe having message?
#The indecisiveness, i wonder if it can be cured?
I am a really indecisive person (>_<)
In my case, like in my everyday life Will I use it? Or won’t I? I think about it too much when buying something!
But, in the end I’d bought it unreasonably LOL
#Please tell me about the Rakugaki app that Miria-chan use!
I like the rakugaki of Marika-san I learned it from Marika-san

Since she taught me, I’ll use it often♪
#Do you have oshimen in HKT48?
I really like HKT48…♡ I’m a big fan
My number one oshi is Wakatabe Haruka(ヽ´ω`)
She looks mature She’s pretty, she’s the cutest amongst others♡
And then Murashige Anna-chan and Nakanishi Chiyori-chan(ヽ´ω`)
At this moment, I wish to have chat with them…
#For girl fans in handshake event, do you have hairdo or dress that you want them to wear?
The hairstyle, maybe curly twin tail But, straight hair is good too♪
The attire, something that can give neat and classic vibe!
But, with them just come to the handshake event I’m really grateful(>_<) thank you♪
#Is there any method to cure acne?
It’s important to wash your face(>_<)
But, it’s not only washing It’s better to use foam when washing face♪
Use the foam you yourself only Make the foam to become marshmallow-like Wash your face gently
Do not scrub your face briskly ((>_<)
And, acne is easy to come out whenever you’re stressed or fatigue It’s importand to have enough sleep!
#May I give Miria-tan a Disney-theme present?
