00:00🎶
00:28Hello, I'm Ronnie. I'm a bass player.
00:32Hello, I'm Raz. I'm a guitar player.
00:35Hello.
00:37Hello, I'm Edith. I'm a guitar player too.
00:39Hello, I'm Arvin. I'm a drummer.
00:41Hello, I'm Kika. I'm a vocalist.
00:44Okay, maybe later someone can continue or add.
00:48Actually, 12 years ago, chocolate was not a vacation.
00:53But chocolate still exists.
00:56But I left chocolate in 2010.
00:59So for 12 years, we separated into two teams.
01:06The team that still has the name of chocolate is Edwin, Ernest, and Ronnie.
01:10Then I left, and Arvin joined.
01:13Although Arvin's status is a little different, Arvin was released.
01:17But then I soloed my career, Arvin became my drummer.
01:21So for 12 years, the relationship between these two teams was not good.
01:27Very bad.
01:29We never communicated.
01:30For the first 6 years, we really avoided each other.
01:34And we always hoped that we wouldn't have to share the stage.
01:43There are a lot of stories from those 12 years.
01:47And if asked, what was the trigger for us to be together again?
01:52Maybe Edwin can answer.
01:54Behind the feeling of hatred and all that,
01:58but we have a history, we have a history,
02:02and we have a feeling that can't be separated.
02:07I really miss Kikan and Arvin to be able to make music together again.
02:17So at the end of 2001,
02:24I started to dare to communicate with Uzir.
02:30Which Uzir is Kikan's solo manager and husband.
02:36I don't know why, but I really wanted Kikan and Arvin to come home.
02:43Until I finally talked to Uzir.
02:47Uzir, as long as I'm still alive,
02:59I will regret if I don't say that I want Kikan and Arvin to come home.
03:08I want Kikan and Arvin to reunite with Coklat again.
03:14It's up to her.
03:16She wants to accept, she wants to refuse, or she doesn't want to.
03:20But I've already expressed my intention.
03:24I want them to come back.
03:26Finally, Uzir said it to Kikan.
03:28And with arrogance, Kikan said, I don't want to.
03:33That's right.
03:35But please correct that with your arrogance.
03:40But it's true.
03:42So maybe it adds a little bit of information,
03:45that after I left Coklat,
03:47Coklat continued to run and release works.
03:52Until she changed vocalist three times.
03:56So she had four other vocalists besides me.
04:00Back to what I said earlier,
04:0312 years with a bad relationship,
04:05it's time to finally...
04:07I know that Uzir was silent behind me,
04:11communicating with Edwin,
04:13I was very angry.
04:15When I found out, it was like I caught him having an affair with a girl.
04:21But the difference is, the affair was with Edwin.
04:24And I said, what for?
04:26Why are you still communicating with Coklat?
04:30I said, stop.
04:32And Uzir kept pursuing to convince me.
04:37Try to convince me.
04:39At that time, he asked me to talk nicely.
04:42Day one, day two, day three.
04:44I still said, no.
04:45No means no.
04:47No, no, no.
04:50Until Uzir said,
04:52maybe you should talk to Edwin directly.
04:58That's when Edwin said,
05:00a sentence that then,
05:04pierced my heart.
05:06Is there a word like that?
05:07There is.
05:08Pierced my heart when Edwin said,
05:10I will regret if I don't say this.
05:14I will regret for the rest of my life
05:16if I didn't say I wanted Kikan and Ervin to go home.
05:22And when I asked, give me one good reason
05:25why I have to reunite.
05:27Edwin said,
05:29as long as the five of us are still there.
05:32There's still age,
05:34there's still a chance to be friends.
05:36Sad.
05:37Finally, when Edwin said that,
05:41that really changed my perspective,
05:46my point of view.
05:48To be really honest,
05:50I never thought about it,
05:52I never see it that way.
05:54It's kind of,
05:57what is it called?
05:58Life changing experience.
06:00Life like that.
06:01And indeed, the journey is not easy.
06:03If today, you can see the five of us sitting here,
06:07we can laugh,
06:11we can talk,
06:13trust me,
06:14it takes a long time.
06:17And thank God,
06:20we never know what will be the secret.
06:25I never thought in my head,
06:27that after 12 years,
06:29there will be a moment where we can reunite again.
06:34It's really,
06:36until today, it still feels weird and surreal.
06:41To be honest, it's still surreal.
06:43To see me singing on stage,
06:46and on the back screen, there's a chocolate logo.
06:49Meanwhile, long before this,
06:5212 years ago, I hated it when I was called the chocolate fish.
06:55I was like, no, no, no.
06:57I'm not a chocolate vocalist anymore.
06:58Please, don't call me chocolate fish.
07:00Until then, and now,
07:01I'm called the chocolate fish again.
07:03And I'm not allowed to be angry.
07:05So, yeah.
07:06Maybe that's a bit of a story,
07:09how we parted,
07:11and what triggered us to reunite.
07:16At that time,
07:18actually, it was quite complicated
07:21and quite complex,
07:22the problems at that time.
07:24But,
07:25maybe in a basic way, I can say,
07:28at that time, in 2010, I left chocolate.
07:31Chocolate was at the highest level.
07:36So,
07:38the schedule was very tight.
07:42Our performance schedule was very full.
07:47Meanwhile, at the same time,
07:49I was the first one,
07:51among the five of us who got married.
07:53I was the first one.
07:54I got married first,
07:55then I got pregnant, and I had a child.
07:57That made everything complicated and difficult.
08:02At the same time,
08:03I had to take care of my child.
08:07But at the same time,
08:08I had to tour with chocolate,
08:10leaving my child.
08:12So,
08:13kind of juggling between these two things,
08:17it turned out not that easy.
08:19However, I tried to manage it well,
08:22the time,
08:23and I tried to negotiate with the management.
08:27But,
08:30I couldn't.
08:31In the end,
08:33in 2010,
08:38I told the kids,
08:39I talked to these four guys,
08:43I said,
08:44I'm really, really sorry, but I can't do this anymore.
08:47Because,
08:48at that time, we couldn't rewind.
08:50We couldn't repeat it.
08:52So,
08:53I,
08:55I had to be there for my kids.
08:57And indeed,
08:58it was one of the hardest decision I ever made in my life.
09:03Because,
09:04I realized that I not only left the four of them,
09:09but there was also a team crew,
09:11a team management,
09:12a fan club,
09:13that was very disappointed with my decision.
09:17And,
09:19at that time,
09:21I was,
09:22to be honest, I was very confused.
09:24So, indeed,
09:25it was a decision that I had to make.
09:28Until the end of 2010,
09:31we couldn't hold it anymore.
09:35And we gave,
09:38we gave,
09:39not permission,
09:40in the end, we decided to
09:43step back.
09:45Our separation happened in a good way.
09:48Before starting to work with Kikan,
09:54Ervin was still with us,
09:55but he looked,
09:57what is gamang?
09:59Bimbang.
10:00Bimbang.
10:01Galau.
10:02Bimbang.
10:03Is there bimbang here?
10:04Galau.
10:05There's galau.
10:06So, he,
10:07between,
10:08continuing with Cokot,
10:10without Kikan,
10:12and that made him,
10:14bimbang, galau, doubt,
10:16until the end,
10:17we felt,
10:19Ervin was blocking us.
10:21In the end,
10:22with a heavy heart,
10:24we asked Ervin to step back from Coklat.
10:29Indeed,
10:30there were many things,
10:32how to say it,
10:34that we were still young at that time,
10:36we didn't expect
10:38those things to happen in 2010,
10:40because,
10:41we were really close,
10:43as friends,
10:44close,
10:45like family,
10:47but it happened.
10:49Even though,
10:50everything happened with,
10:52how to say it,
10:54if we go back to Kikan,
10:56we visited Kikan,
10:57but the journey,
10:58the feeling,
10:59the feeling of loss,
11:02the feeling of how to continue,
11:04the way to Coklat,
11:05that was not easy for us.
11:07Which,
11:08in the end,
11:09there was also,
11:10there was definitely a feeling in us,
11:13this is because of Kikan Kuat,
11:15we are like this because of Kikan Kuat,
11:17no longer,
11:18the media that always provokes,
11:21no longer the fans,
11:22the fans who don't believe in us,
11:24Coklat,
11:25which,
11:26every day on social media,
11:28there are only those who write,
11:31Coklat,
11:32it's better to break up,
11:33if not with Kikan.
11:34Anyway, there were many things,
11:36that day by day we felt,
11:37which in the end,
11:39indirectly,
11:41in the end,
11:42how is it,
11:43we are like,
11:44this is because of Kikan,
11:45because of Kikan Kuat,
11:46in the end,
11:47piled up,
11:48piled up,
11:49piled up,
11:50in the end,
11:51we really didn't communicate,
11:52we tried to prove ourselves,
11:54yes,
11:55we have to be able to,
11:57and in the end,
11:58Kikan Nyanyi,
12:00again,
12:01it's the same,
12:02Kikan also never let go,
12:03people always,
12:04as I said,
12:05people always think,
12:06Kikan Coklat,
12:07go back to Coklat,
12:08so,
12:09the atmosphere is what happened,
12:11in the last 12 years,
12:12Alhamdulillah,
12:13we can go back.
