JAKARTA - The band Chocolate finally made a complete reunion after 12 years apart since the exit of Kikan and Ervin.

"It's good to be back here," Kikan said when appearing in Synchronize Fest 2022, Kemayoran, Jakarta, Saturday night quoted by Antara.

Chocolate opens its appearance with the song "Nafsu" which has a thick rock nuance. Seeing Kikan on stage again is something extraordinary for the Chocolate Stars or greetings for their fans.

On this occasion, Chocolate also screened a video that reveals complaints and problems that have occurred in her band for 12 years.

With the concept of an interview, a band consisting of Kikan (vokalis), Erwin (guitar), Ernest (guitar), Ronny (bass) and Ervin (drums) express their respective contents.

"There are many problems but one of the reasons that made me finally come out was because I was tired of being asked to choose which one was the priority, son or band," Kikan said in a video shown on the stage screen.

The audience was invited to understand what really happened to Chocolate. The dispute clearly occurred between them, but the ego that both made the band finally had to choose their own path.

Kikan left, then Ervin was released shortly after, which in the end only left Erwin, Ronny and Ernest. Chocolate also experienced many vocalist changes ranging from Sarah Hadju, Jackline to Aiu Ratna.

Between the video screenings, Chocolate also performed songs that had been hits, ranging from "Dreams", "Sala", "Go away", "Luka Lama", "Far" to "Segitiga".

These songs remind the audience of the heyday of Chocolate. Kikan's powerful voice is the hallmark of the band from Bandung.

The audience was even more touched when the video featured personnel who were starting to notice. They expressed their longing to play together and decided to forgive each other.

The five of them embraced each other and shed tears and immediately received a warm welcome from the audience.

"12 years is not a short time, we never thought it would happen like this. This is from all your prayers, maybe what you heard," said Kikan.

"Tonight is a special opportunity from us, Chocolate to say thank you for stopping me for 12 years," he continued.

The song that most Chocolate fans were waiting for, "Karma" was sung, the entire audience immediately cheered. The crowd of the audience who sang along was heard everywhere.

"The last song, one song for all of us, one song for Indonesia," said Kikan before singing "Bright".

In fact, this is not the first appearance of Chocolate since they returned together. Previously, they had appeared in Samarinda and M Bloc Fest Jakarta.
