STATEMENT

A Message from Chiaki – KLP48 Producer

I am pleased to announce that, through a series of fortunate circumstances, I have been appointed as the producer of KLP48.

The group's first original song will be composed by Pappara Kawai, with lyrics by me. I will also be in charge of the visual aspects, including costumes, hair and makeup, as well as the overall concept.

Future songs will be released in multiple languages, primarily Malay.

Each member comes from a different country, speaks a different language, and has different roots, but their dreams are the same all over the world.

I will support these girls who are working hard. I would be grateful for your support. Thank you for your continued support.

Chiaki
