DMF48 DELUSIONAL PROJECT by Angie Pritha : #1

I wrote these all is merely because of my longing feeling to DMF48 has turned big like soooo biggggg. I love to remember the good memories I had with them. As a straight woman being a fan of JKT48 and familiar with delusional fanfiction thingies (and mostly the male fans of JKT48 making delusional fanfiction of being the sweetheart of their favorite members, I just gasped and said "OK, that's the way they are, I don't want to make a JKT48 fanfiction, my affection for them is not that big, you know) I understand that I can turn those imaginations into a good writing, why not trying to make one? 

Episode: Interview with THREE MAS KENTHIR part 1

(background music: Setapak Sriwedari by Maliq and d’essentials, the coda part. And then comes a jingle, saying “Sastraaaa Radiooooooo, Mbooooisss pooolllll….” Here comes the talkshow on Sastra Radio, hosted by Angie)

Angie                           : “Dear all sastrafellas, thanks very much for staying with us. As what I’ve told you before, we are going to have a special interview with a brand new indie band from malang. Wanna find out who they are? Let’s welcome…. THREE MAS KENTHIR!! Yeaaaa!!”

(clapping hands)

Yayak, Udin, Wahyu    : “Yeeeeeaaaay!”

Angie                           : “Ok, here in our studio, we have three handsome guys coming from Germany Department, right?”

Yayak                          : “Yes, we are”

Udin                             : “We used to be classmates”

Wahyu                         : “HMJ mates as well!”

(all of them laugh out loud)

Angie                           : “Ok, now introduce yourselves to the Sastrafellas out there”

Yayak                          : “Hi, sastrafellas! I’m Wisnu Satria Sejati, you can call me Yayak, I play drum”

Udin                             : “I’m Bahauddin, you can call me Udin, I play guitar as well as being the vocalist”

Wahyu                         : “I’m Wahyu Yudhatmoko, playing bass, as well as the backing vocal”

Angie                           : “OK, good. So, Three Mas Kenthir, everywhere you go, you are always in this formation?”

Udin                             : “Sort of. Yea…. Not necessarily”

Angie                           : “Does it means that you go with your girlfriends sometimes?”

Udin                             : “Girlfriend who?”

Wahyu                         : “Yeah, you know, Angie. Udin’s heart is still broken due to his breakup last semester”

Yayak                          : “Believe me, last semester!”

Angie                           : “Oh, really? Last semester it was!”

Udin                             : “Please don’t talk about it, shall we?”

Angie                           : “Ok, ok, now we are going to talk about the making of this band, umm…. The story behind this band, I mean. How did you finally decide to form a band?”

Wahyu                         : “As what you’ve known, Angie. We used to be classmates and we found out that we have the same interest, the same favorite genre of music….”

Yayak                          : “Typical”

Angie                           : “What do you mean by typical, yayak?”

Yayak                          : “Yeah, started with spending our time in ormawa sastra and playing the guitar, then we found out that we have a common interest, therefore, we started to jam regularly. We rent a studio in Griyashanta and we finally decide to form Three Mas Kenthir”

Angie                           : “And what is your genre, actually”

Wahyu                         : “We have soul-funk music, but we can go groovy sometimes. We put on a spirit of Jazz in every our music”

Angie                           : “Jazz it is! That’s great! You know, our youth is mostly influenced with K-Pop girlbands, boybands, and Japanese Idol Groups, but you dared yourselves to lit up Jazz among them”

Yayak                          : “Our purpose is not to try to defy the mainstream, but to remind them that Jazz can be amazing too”

Angie                           : “Aww… that’s great. By the way, who wrote the lyrics of these five songs?”

Udin                             : “I did”

Angie                           : “Wow, that’s great. Well I have heard that you are good in writing”

Wahyu                         : “Who else do we have to trust? He is an asset indeed”

Angie                           : (laughs) “Ahaha, ok. But, looking on the five titles you wrote, here we have “Penantian panjang”, “Layar Putih Biru”, “Empat abjad pertama”, “Menghilang tetiba”, and “Tiga menit untuk 12 Jam”. Wow. Such poetic titles. I wanna find out, what are your songs mostly about?”

Udin                             : “Well, when you hear the titles, you may think that it’s kinda love songs that are emotional or containing tearful lyrics, but in fact, they’re not”

Angie                           : “So, what it is about?”

Udin                             : “Hmm, we are going to be non-mainstream. Instead of talking about love, our lyrics talk about student madness!”

Angie                           : “Waw! Student madness? About how it feels to be a college student? Great!”

Yayak                          : “Yeah, Angie, we’re fed up with the same topic of millions of songs in the world. Love, love, love, and love. Isn’t there any other topic to be talked about?”

Wahyu                         : “I don’t think that there have been songs talking about college life. We know that it is not easy to be accepted in the university, therefore, being a college student is somehow an achievement. Aside of that pride of pursuing a higher education, there are some stressful experiences and exciting stories on taking the courses, doing the assignments, and of course, the final phase, on doing the thesis”

Udin                             : “Yeah, that’s good. And I do hope that people will appreciate us for being different”

Angie                           : “Waw, guys, you are making a breakthrough. Udin, can you tell me about each songs, what do they talk about?”

Udin                             : “Penantian panjang” tells about a class waiting for the lecturer to come. It is common to see lecturers coming late to the class without telling the students before, rite? (Angie: Yes, indeed), “Layar Putih Biru” tells about distractions students have when doing their assignments, which is, social media. Facebook, you know, “Lima abjad pertama” tells about the A, B, C, D and E grades that students may get on their finals, “Menghilang tetiba” tells about lecturers who likes to be absent without any prior information, and “Tiga menit untuk 12 Jam” tells about students’ habits to cook instant noodle for their brunch or dinner”

Yayak                          : “Udin is talking about his own habit actually. He consumes many packs of instant noodles per week. No matter it is in the beginning of the month”

Udin                             : “Stop it, yak. That’s my favorite. If you don’t like it, have it your way”

Yayak                          : “I’ve told him that it’s not good!”

Angie                           : “ahahahahaa, that’s great!! It is rare to see themes like these on songs. Ok, sastrafellas, if you want to request your favorite songs, just text us on 0814848484848 by typing your name, location, the song you request, and whom you are giving your hello to.
