TEGASEAN - JKT48 has officially released the music video (MV) for their highly anticipated 27th single, titled "Andai 'Ku Bukan Idola" (English: "If I Were Not an Idol"), on February 4, 2026. The track is the Indonesian adaptation of AKB48's 2023 song "Idol Nanka Janakattara", and the release has generated massive excitement among fans due to its emotional storytelling, strong senbatsu lineup, and a special surprise appearance by AKB48 member Yui Oguri.

Fiony Alveria Takes Center Stage for the First Time

The MV features Fiony Alveria as the center for the first time in a JKT48 single senbatsu. This milestone coincides with her birthday on the release day, adding an extra layer of celebration for fans. The senbatsu members deliver powerful performances that capture the song's reflective theme—exploring the "what if" scenario of life beyond the spotlight as an idol.

The single marks several debuts in the senbatsu lineup, including Michie, Gracie, and Greesel from newer generations, signaling a fresh chapter for JKT48 under their "JKT48 FIGHT!" era.

Historic Filming at AKB48 Theater and Yui Oguri's Cameo

What makes this MV particularly noteworthy is its production in Japan, with key scenes filmed at the iconic AKB48 Theater—a first for JKT48 since their debut in 2011. This nostalgic location bridges the sister groups and pays homage to the original Japanese version.

The biggest highlight for many fans is the special appearance by Yui Oguri (小栗有以, often called Yuiyui), the original center of AKB48's "Idol Nanka Janakattara". Her cameo adds authenticity and creates an emotional cross-group connection that has thrilled both JKT48 and AKB48 fandoms. Fans on social media have called the collaboration "unexpected" and "heartwarming," with Yui Oguri's presence symbolizing the enduring bond between the 48 groups.

Since its premiere on JKT48's official YouTube channel, the MV has sparked widespread praise for its storytelling, choreography, and visual production. Comments highlight the chemistry among members, the meaningful lyrics, and the special guest spot that ties the Indonesian and Japanese versions together.
