Rena-chan, as she is usually called, wants to be an author, not a singer nor a dancer.“I’m dreaming of becoming a book author,” said Rena when JKT48 ‘attacks’ Hai’s HQ (22/7). That dream of hers is also mentioned on her Twitter bio, @renaJKT48. This Nagoya-born girl, on May 6th 1998, also loves dancing. This is what triggered her to enter JKT48’s audition. “I love dancing, and then I tried auditioning without any pretention. I thought I wouldn’t pass the audition.”Rena also hopes that JKT48 can be as famous as their Japanese sister group AKB48. She’s also happy with the support from the fans. “Because of the fans, we can perform in high spirits. All their gifts leave an impression on me. Sometimes I would look back at their gifts so that I could regain back my spirit,“ she completed.
